About the plan
The department consulted widely to capture the diverse voices of department employees, volunteers, parents/carers, and children and young people in the South Australian public education sector including people with lived experience of suicide and priority groups at increased risk of suicide.
This action plan builds on the department’s current responses to suicide prevention and postvention. It commits to new initiatives that address the risks and enhance the protective factors for suicide, with a focus on those who are at greater risk. Importantly, people with lived experience of suicide have shaped its development and are fundamental to informing the ongoing implementation of the actions.
