Legal right to urgent assessment and safe support for anyone at risk of suicide

Legal right to urgent assessment and safe support for anyone at risk of suicide — 99 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Government to introduce a legal right and ensure additional funding is guaranteed for mental health care for people reporting suicidal thoughts and feeling unsafe in their own minds. Such funding should be provided to the NHS to ensure urgent care and a safe plan can always be provided.

Additional details

Services shouldn’t have to turn people away due to lack of beds. We want to ensure that no plea for help goes unheard, and that no one is left without safe care.
