The Scottish Government and Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) published their 10-year suicide prevention strategy in September 2022.

Creating Hope Together and the initial three year action plan - 2022 to 2025 on the Scottish Government's website form the whole strategy.

Every Life Matters (2018) enabled considerable action and learning in Scotland’s suicide prevention work. The report is also available on the Scottish Government's website.

The new strategy develops this to improve our approach to suicide prevention.

The action plan has six action areas, including data, evidence and planning.
