Safer Sleep
The Lullaby Trust tells us around 200 babies still die every year because of SIDS in the United Kingdom. (The Lullaby Trust, 2023). Over the years, there has been a significant reduction in SIDS deaths, largely due to an increase in evidence-based knowledge and practice. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) states that the although the number of SIDS deaths have followed a general pattern of decline since records began in 2004, the rate has remained stable overall since 2014 (ONS, 2021). There were ten infant and child deaths where unsafe sleep practices were found reviewed by the Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) in Pan-Lancashire in 2020/21 (CDOP, 2021).
