We expect the provider to deliver 900 Full SFA training places and 500 SFA Lite training places to front line staff working in Southwark over the course of the five year contract, with a target completion date of two years. This is a new provision and is now required because Southwark's Preventing Suicides Strategy 2023-2028 lists the roll-out of Suicide Prevention Training to identified target groups as a key action to be achieved by March 2025. We aim to train a range of front line staff including those working in:
- Voluntary community sector organisations who support higher risk residents
- The social housing sector
- The criminal justice sector
- Teams who support those in difficult economic circumstances The training will ensure more people at risk of suicide are identified and given the support they need.
With the skills they will develop, front line staff will gain greater confidence and feel better equipped to respond to situations that arise during their work with residents.
