South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw has a higher suicide rate than the England average and partners are working together to reduce this number by at least 10 percent. The ICS will use information gathered from the survey to improve how we respond to suicide as a community.

South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw (ICS), is a partnership of 23 organisations responsible for looking after the health and care of the 1.5 million people living in Barnsley, Bassetlaw, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. It is made up of NHS organisations, local authorities and key voluntary sector and independent partners in the region.

Anyone who is suffering in the aftermath of suicide, or needs to talk to someone, is urged to contact the Samaritans on 116 123 or email [email protected].
