Eyes on the Baby Strand 3

Introduction

Before enrolling on Eyes on the Baby training, please ensure you are accessing the correct Strand based on your job role. (An indication of relevant roles can be found in audience section below)

This strand is for Health practitioners involved in routine or emergency care of vulnerable families

The Eyes on the Baby training has been designed to help staff prevent SUDI (Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy) in County Durham. Most unexpected deaths of babies under 1 year occur in families living in impoverished circumstances with multiple risks or vulnerabilities, and a multi-agency approach is needed to reach the families most at risk of infant death. Training the multi-agency workforce in County Durham will help staff give advice about safer sleep, support shared working between services, and keep Eyes on the Baby to reduce SUDI.
