Great to see @romankemp's documentary #OurSilentEmergency on male suicide now on iPlayer and will air on BBC1 at 9pm. As is always the case, 3 hours of filming condensed into 3 minutes, so I've added some more info about keeping people safe👇👇 suicideresearch.info/news-1/malesui…

If #MentalHealthMatters, then please listen & adopt, as John Stewart has recommended, some innovative approaches, especially, cases of pre-existing Serious Mental Illnesses (SMIs) ... These are a 'blind spot' & must be adequately addressed, not dodged #WMHD2020 #BuildBackBetter

❇️ Risk of suicide raised at #DowningStreetBriefing ❇️ A national response is urgently needed ❇️ More needs to be done to protect those at risk of suicide ❇️ Too early to know extent of impact on vulnerable but likely longterm #coronavirus #COVID19

Statement from BBC Scotland. "We aren't covering Ruth visiting her parents because it isn't news. If it isn't news than why would we report it? News is only news if we report it. And we haven't reported Ruth's visit so it isn't news."

Our media guidelines were published to support and encourage safe coverage of suicide. Research shows that inappropriate reporting of suicide, such as reports that include method, may lead to ‘imitative’ behaviour and can lead to an increase in suicide rates.
