Furthermore, in accordance with Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the Suicide Prevention Act and Article 13, Paragraph 1 of the Enforcement Rules of the same Act, school personnel (including all faculty and staff) who become aware of suicidal behavior (including "suicide attempt" and "suicide death") while on duty should report it to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's "Suicide Prevention Reporting System" (https://sps.mohw.gov.tw/Account/IndexInform) within 24 hours. Please implement this in accordance with the law; if you have any questions about the reporting format or procedures, please contact the health bureau of your local municipality or county government.
