Background & Policy on suicide

Definition : In England and Wales, suicide is
legally defined as death given an underlying
cause of intentional self-harm or
injury/poisoning of undetermined intent.
What does “risk” mean ?

Originally a sailing term from
Portuguese ->
RISK = “The likelihood of an event
happening with potentially harmful
or beneficial outcomes for self and
others” Morgan (2000)
versus
DANGER = “the damage or harm
that may occur from an event”
