First Minister’s Question Time
Suicide Prevention (Schools)
Swinney, John SNP Perthshire North Watch on SPTV

I welcome Mr Stewart’s comments and I attach the greatest importance, as I know he does, to supporting young people whose mental wellbeing is in jeopardy.

The Government takes a range of steps to ensure that we address issues of mental wellbeing and suicide prevention and that that is taken forward within our curricular work. The Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills recently met the campaign group 3 Dads Walking to discuss suicide prevention. As part of the curriculum improvement cycle work, we will be looking to ensure that the curriculum adequately addresses the issues that Mr Stewart puts to me, and we will be happy to continue rolling out that work in partnership with local authorities.
