    Report summary

    Emma Jane SIMKIN, also known as Emilie Zukiard AFFIN, died on 20 February 2021 after standing in front of a freight train at Railway Lineside, Spitalgate Hill, Grantham, and receiving non-survivable injuries. The report raises concern that people may mask mental illness in front of professionals, who may accept what they are told without sufficiently considering evidence from families, and asks whether policies and training addressing this issue are adequate.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to consider primary evidence from families alongside patients’ accounts when assessing masked mental illness

    Wider context from the report

    “Families are repeatedly advising their perception is that loved ones are successfully "masking" their mental illnesses in front of professionals who are perceived to accept at face value what they are told rather than looking at other primary evidence more often than not from the families themselves. which in turn leads the families to believe they are being ignored and lives lost. Can you reassure me that policies are in place that focus upon how to identify "masking" and adequate training to the appropriate professionals is up to date and consider if policies are in need of review. ”
