Participants receive advice on safe sleeping positions, maintaining clear cots, and safer co-sleeping practices. The sessions are supported by the Lullaby Trust.

Approximately 1,800 health visitors, school nurses, and paediatrics staff members have already completed the training.

“It is so encouraging to see how many colleagues across the Black Country have taken up this important training,” Ms. Roberts said. “We can all play a part in trying to reduce the risk of future deaths or harm to children in the Black Country.”

The training is funded by the Black Country Child Death Review Strategic Partnership and supported by the Black Country Local Maternity and Neonatal System.
