Background: School and other youth settings are critical for self-harm and suicide prevention and intervention activities. Previous research in the UK in 2016-17 showed that schools conduct a range of prevention activities, largely focussed on promoting coping and resilience, and only directly address self-harm or related behaviour in a reactive way after it has occurred.In this study, we aimed to assess current approaches of schools and colleges to self-harm and suicide prevention, intervention and postvention. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of secondary schools, further education colleges and other youth education settings across the UK working with young people age 11-25 years was conducted, targeted at the lead safeguarding member of staff. A mixture of open-ended and closed questions were asked in relation to policies, prevention, intervention and postvention activities, as well as general barriers and facilitators. Analysis: Descriptive statistics were generated, and schools were compared on provision based on whether they had a) no policy other than safeguarding, or self-harm and suicide were covered within the safeguarding policy but not explicitly mentioned, compared with b) schools that had specific mention of self-harm or suicide within policies, or a standalone policy using chi 2 tests. Free text responses were analysed in a thematic method using the questions asked as a framework to organise findings. Results: 105 valid responses were received. There were few differences between schools dependent of precision of policies. Only 20% of schools reported training all their teaching staff on self-harm, this dropped to 15% in relation to training on suicide. Training of pastoral staff was higher (71-73%). Prevalence of self-harm related prevention and intervention activities ranged from 83.2% for individual intervention, to 14.2% for whole-school intervention. For suicide, prevalence of activities varied from 72.6% of respondents indicating they would provide individual intervention, to only 11.3%-15.1% providing whole school intervention or postvention activities. Discussion: In this talk, key findings will be highlighted and the implications for both research and public health will be discussed.
