Moving towards individualised risk management

Storm Skills Training CIC has launched a new resource to help professionals follow NICE guidelines on self-harm assessment and management.

Research shows that predicting suicide, even with risk assessment tools, is unreliable. The updated NICE guidance (NG225) reflects this, advising against using risk scales or stratification for predicting self-harm or suicide or making treatment decisions. Instead, it promotes a person-centred, holistic approach – aligning with England’s 2023-28 Suicide Prevention Strategy. With so much information available, Storm Skills Training has simplified the key insights into a practical, accessible resource.
