The RSHE statutory guidance advises that schools should approach teaching about self-harm and suicide cautiously. Schools should be aware of the risks to pupils from exposure to materials that are instructive rather than preventative, including websites or videos that provide instructions or methods of self-harm or suicide. If teachers have concerns about a specific pupil in relation to self-harm or suicidal thoughts, they must follow safeguarding procedures immediately.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 24/10/2022 16:52:09 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
