Government support for businesses implementing National Suicide Prevention Standard BS 30480

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate examines what government support is available to help businesses adopt BS 30480, the National Suicide Prevention Standard. The debate will explore whether current support is adequate and whether more funding or guidance is needed to encourage workplace implementation of suicide prevention measures.

This affects workplace mental health and suicide prevention across the UK economy. Businesses implementing the standard can better support employee wellbeing and potentially reduce workplace suicides, which has wider public health significance. The debate will reveal whether the government sees this as a priority and is willing to fund or incentivise adoption.
