The past year has seen much debate about the way the media reports cases of suicide or apparent suicide.

A lot of the Commission's work involves conciliating complaints that may raise a breach of the Code. Such cases may not be adjudicated at a full meeting of the Commission, but can still act as lessons of how the Code is being interpreted by the PCC.
