In 2019, a National Health Service Trust in England lost 11 members of current and former staff members to suspected suicide. Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book is a case study of how one workplace was affected. It offers a critical examination of how management responded, reflecting on their missteps, their desire to learn, their uncertainty about what actions to take or where to begin and how they ultimately relied on staff guidance to chart a path forward.

Based on research conducted in 2021, this book presents a series of recommendations outlining how to integrate suicide prevention and postvention into organisational policies and wellbeing strategies. The book includes a ‘Seeking Support Framework’, ‘Postvention Communication Strategy Model’ and a ‘Healthcare Workforce Postvention Toolkit’, which are practical tools that readers can embed in their own workplaces quicky and efficiently to prevent suicide. This book reveals to the reader how anti-suicide measures can be put in place in a healthcare setting or any organisation.

Workforce Suicide: Barriers and Postvention in the Healthcare Sector is a sobering yet vital read for any student, researcher or practitioner in the fields of occupational health and safety, healthcare and healthcare management, nursing, medicine, social care or occupational therapy.

Ethical Reporting of Sensitive Topics explores the underlying complexities that journalists may face when covering difficult news stories. Reporting on issues such as suicide, sexual abuse, or migration is a skill that is often glossed over in a journalist’s education. By combining theory and practice, this collection will correct this oversight and give journalists the expertise and understanding to report on these subjects responsibly and ethically.

Contributors to this volume are an international group of journalists-turned- academics, who share their first-hand experiences and unique professional insight into best ethical journalistic practice for reporting on sensitive topics. Drawing from a range of case studies, contributors discuss the most appropriate approach to, for example, describing a shooter who has killed a group of schoolchildren or interviewing someone who has lost everything in a natural disaster. Readers are invited to consider factors which have the potential to influence the reporting of these sorts of topics, including bias, sensationalism, conflict of interest, grief, vulnerability, and ignorance of one’s own privilege.

Ethical Reporting of Sensitive Topics aims to support all journalists, from students of journalism and individuals encountering a newsroom for the first time, to those veteran journalists or specialist journalists who seek to better their reporting skills.
