The publication of Preventing and Responding to Student Suicide: A Practical Guide for FE and HE Settings represents a milestone for FE and HE in the UK and internationally. As far as the authors are aware, it is the first book ‘that specifically and uniquely focuses on suicide in an educational setting rather than a healthcare context’.
