The final stage of the process is the interpretation and report writing. Reports should be written with the following points in mind:

• Report on actual presentations, trends and relevant comparisons, and highlight key areas to be reviewed/considered
• Stimulate suggestions for peer review and academic papers, and note opportunities to actively engage in the writing of papers, which should be open to all relevant staff
• Inform health and social care bodies and other relevant agencies (e.g. police, prisons, communities)
• Use reports to promote suicide awareness to as wide an audience as possible
