The person speaking to the individual who is contemplating suicide should ask how the person intends to do it. Then one can call the mental health crisis team. It's called mental health first aid and there is training available for managers, oh or hr regards to handling such situations. 

Patience

We advise managers to call an ambulance in such circumstances as it is a potential emergency.

Someone has contacted my colleague by phone and text giving the impression that they are suicidal, it is known that the individual is "depressed" following multiple bereavements. Now I know what I would do in such circumstances but started to ponder about a policy/action plan for those that may well be contacted as a friend/peer/line manager who may not have any codes of practise for guidance. Does any list member have such a thing?
