We also publish suicides by occupation without age disaggregation in table 4 of Suicide by occupation, England and Wales, 2011 to 2021 registrations, which may be helpful.

2022 data

Suicide by occupation registrations for 2022 will be released in September 2023, to allow the inclusion of late registrations, which are deaths referred for Coroner investigation. Following this, data will be available to order via our bespoke output route.
