Provision of trained Family Liaison Officers

That this House recognises the devastating impact of suicide on the families and loved ones left behind; notes with concern the lack of structured and consistent support for those affected; further notes that families often face a confusing, traumatic aftermath involving police procedures, post-mortem processes, and coroners’ inquests without adequate guidance or emotional support; acknowledges the vital role that Family Liaison Officers play in other circumstances of traumatic bereavement, such as murder or fatal accidents; and calls on the Government to change the law to mandate the provision of trained Family Liaison Officers to support families who have lost a loved one to suicide, ensuring timely, compassionate, and informed assistance during the immediate aftermath and through the inquest process.
