A multi-agency approach to preventing Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI)

This is the first of a series of joint events in Surrey focussing on the common themes in Local Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews and exploring what these mean in practice.  The overarching focus for 2024/25 will be the concept of  ‘Professional Curiosity’, what it actually means and how it can be relevant to a variety of topics.  Out first topic is Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) on 24th June 2024 between 9:00 and 12:30

This FREE half day learning event will enable participants to;

·       Rethink the concepts of professional curiosity and challenge.

·       Update their knowledge of the inequalities in infant and child deaths in England.

·       Hear about the latest research into understanding interpretation of risk advice in higher risk families and this has shaped baby sleep project interventions.

·       Clear understanding of advice on preventing Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy.

·       Embed professional curiosity within daily practice.

This is a collaboration between Surrey Safeguarding Children Partnership and the Child Death Review Partnership (CDR) to take a lifecourse approach to building healthy and resilient communities.
