Why Dragonfly tests careful reading in suicide awareness

A. Treat any mention of suicide as attention-seeking unless there is a clear plan.
B. Stay calm, ask directly about immediate safety, follow policy and make sure the concern is not held alone.
C. Promise secrecy first so the person feels safe enough to keep talking.
D. Focus only on future positivity because detailed questions may put ideas in their head.

Preferred answer: B. The safest response is calm, direct, boundaried and escalated through the right route.

Assessment design: Dragonfly uses sample scenarios with plausible distractors, balanced answer lengths and deliberate complexity checks so staff have to read carefully rather than guess the longest or most detailed option.

Who this module is for

Frontline staff who need confident awareness of specialist risks without being expected to become subject-matter experts.
