Require all emergency services to record staff suicides - 14,713 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,736 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

There is no mandatory system for recording suicides among emergency service staff, which could lead to underreporting and opportunities for prevention. Mandatory recording could reveal the true scale of the problem and enable effective, evidence-based support to protect those who protect the public.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to supporting all emergency service workers. We recognise the variances in suicide data collection and are taking steps to improve this for ambulance services and police.
