Mandatory suicide risk assessment for adolescents in hospital who express intent — 19,792 signatures. Status: open.
Make full suicide risk assessments mandatory when a child in hospital care expresses intent to harm themselves. No child asking for help should be left without support.
I want the Government to make suicide risk assessments legally mandatory when a child expresses intent to harm themselves. I am concerned that current guidance is inconsistent and not always enforced. No child who asks for help should be left without a full assessment, protection, and proper support. This could be called Ella's law.
