Recommendation 6

6 Paragraph: 79

Joined-up public health approach essential for preventing suicide among agricultural and veterinary workers

Conclusion
Adopting a more joined-up approach to public health focused on early intervention could make a positive contribution to preventing suicide amongst agricultural and veterinary workers. It would need to ‘wrap-around’ people at potential risk, incorporating the NHS, other key public services and the regular contacts that people have in their local community or economy, and be under-pinned by training in suicide prevention, and efforts promote working and workplace cultures that support good wellbeing.
