Having ligature awareness training and responding to incidents in a professional and timely fashion can and does save lives. Hanging is the main method of suicide for service users, and this may involve suspending the body from a ligature point. This does not always have to be from height.
Ligature awareness training is designed to support staff who are looking after adults / young people who are at risk of attempting suicide or self-harm by several means including the application of a ligature.
What is Ligature Training?
Learners will gain practical skills and knowledge to recognise self-harm and ligature injuries, treat a casualty and to safely remove someone from suspension.
