The coroner's concerns
1. monitoring people who attend the bridge in mental health distress
“During evidence the matter of monitoring people who attend the bridge in mental health distress was raised. There is a minimum of 2 staff in the control room and 3 staff covering”
2. lack of structured training for bridge security staff dealing with mental health crises
“I am aware that there is a [REDACTED] Suicide Prevention Meeting where a multi-agency approach can be taken to address the reduction of suicide”
3. vulnerable persons being escorted off the bridge daily
“I was informed in evidence that a vulnerable person is escorted off the bridge everyday - this shows the extent of the problem and the staff to be provided with the very best training available”
