A thematic analysis of Prevention of Future Death reports for children who died by suicide in England and Wales: January 2015 to November 2023
The key findings from this report highlight themes raised by coroners relating to deaths of children by suicide. This included themes around service provision, staffing and resourcing of mental health services and communication between services and families. Children with neurodiversity, including autism, appear to be of particular concern.
