Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Suicide Prevention Strategy 2022–2027: Review and evaluation

Help Shape the Future of Suicide Prevention in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

Every suicide is a tragic loss that has a profound and lasting impact on families, friends, workplaces, schools, communities and support services. Suicide can be preventable, and together we can play a role in reducing suicide and supporting those affected.

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Suicide Prevention Strategy 2022–2027 sets out our shared commitment to preventing suicide, reducing inequalities, promoting mental wellbeing, and ensuring that people receive the right support at the right time.

As we continue to implement the strategy and refresh this for a new strategy early in 2027, we want to hear from community groups, professionals and partner organisations.

Your views will help us understand:

  • What is working well in suicide prevention across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
  • What challenges people continue to face when accessing support.
  • Whether the current priorities remain relevant.
  • What additional actions or areas of focus should be considered.
  • How services and communities can work together more effectively to prevent suicide and support recovery.

Why Your Voice Matters

We know that people with lived experience, whether through personal experience, supporting someone else, or experiencing bereavement through suicide, have valuable insights that can help improve services and inform local priorities. We have engaged with people with lived experience to help inform the development of our new strategy, and now we would like to hear from:

  • Health, social care, education, voluntary sector and emergency service professionals.
  • Employers and community organisations.

All responses will be considered as part of the ongoing development and delivery of a new suicide prevention strategy for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Taking Part

We invite you to complete this consultation and share your experiences, views and ideas. The consultation should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Your responses will be treated confidentially and analysed alongside those of other participants. This will inform a new strategy for 2027 early in the new year. Any information shared will be handled in accordance with data protection requirements.

The survey will remain open until 13 September 2026.

Thank you for helping us create a safer, more supportive and suicide-safer Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.
