Safer Sleeping for Babies resources 

The Office of Kids and Families has recently developed a series of Safer Sleeping for Babies resources for staff, to promote the delivery of consistent messaging around safe sleeping practices for babies.  These resources include frequently asked questions to support conversations with parents and families about the risks of co-sleeping and a poster addressing identified unsafe sleeping practices, supported by an information sheet detailing the evidence base of the recommendations.
