9. Safer Sleep Week 2024


Safer Sleep Week (11th - 17th March) is The Lullaby Trust’s national awareness campaign targeting anyone looking after a young baby. It aims to raise awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and the simple advice that reduces the risk of it occurring.

We know that greater awareness of safer sleep leads to a decrease in the numbers of babies dying.

The theme for this year’s Safer Sleep Week campaign is the safest place. Babies’ airways are vulnerable, particularly in the first few months of life, so it is important that parents and carers are aware of this and the actions they can take to protect them. The simplest way to do this is by sleeping a baby on their back on a firm, flat surface with no padded or cushioned areas. This will help to keep their airways open and reduce the risk of suffocation and SIDS. A cot, Moses basket, bassinet, carry cot, or crib all fulfil these criteria. 

Many baby products on the market are not suitable for babies to sleep in, even some which are designed for this purpose. The Lullaby Trust aim to empower parents with the knowledge to make informed choices about their baby’s sleeping place and understand why some products are not suitable for baby sleep and how to identify and avoid them.

10. Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) Awareness Month


Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) affects 1-2 children a fortnight and devastates families year-on-year. "SUDC UK" is a registered, national charity dedicated to raising awareness, funding research, and supporting families affected by SUDC. On the 18th March, a new National SUDC Awareness Day will be launched at a Parliamentary event in the House of Commons.

What is SUDC?
  • SUDC stands for Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood. This is different to Sudden Unexpected Death in Childhood.
  • Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood is the sudden and unexpected death of a child between 1 and 18 years of age, which remains unexplained after a thorough investigation is conducted. This must include examination of the death scene, a post-mortem and a review of the child and family’s medical history.
  • 1- 2 seemingly healthy children are dying every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up.
  • SUDC is most prevalent in toddlers and children in their late teens.
How often does SUDC occur?
  • 40 children in the UK die every year without reason (ONS data).
  • It is the 4th leading category of death in 1–4-year-olds in England and Wales (ONS data).
  • SUDC is one of the most under-recognised medical tragedies of our time, with limited awareness and research.
  • The National Child Mortality Database has recently recommended that research into these deaths is prioritised and highlighted an association between SUDC and febrile seizures. More research is required to better understand SUDC.
How can you help?
SUDC can't be predicted or prevented. Through research, it is hoped that risk factors and underlying causes of SUDC will be discovered that will lead to its prevention. Many people, including medical professionals, have yet to learn about SUDC.

Watch the short video below to learn more about sudden unexplained death in childhood and the work of the SUDC UK charity.

11. Burns, Bruises and Scalds Protocol - Information Leaflet for Parents/Carers


Wakefield Families Together have published a useful leaflet for Wakefield District parents and carers explaining the multi-agency protocol for the assessment of non-mobile babies with injuries including bruising, burns and scalds for Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield Safeguarding Children Partnerships. Please click here to access it

12. The NRM and Transitioning in to Adulthood -    7 Minute Briefing


The NWG have published a new 7 minute briefing designed specifically for frontline practitioners working with young people in the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) process, who are preparing for legal adulthood. 

The briefing emerges in response to the significant issue where numerous children, who were entered into the NRM as children, have reached legal adulthood without adequate support to understand the NRM process or the importance of giving informed consent to remain in the systems as adults. Consequently, many have had their cases suspended, losing access to critical support at a time when they need it most.

As you are aware, the NRM serves as a pivotal process in the UK for identifying and referring potential victims of modern slavery. The transition to legal adulthood is a critical juncture for these individuals. It is essential that they receive support and guidance to navigate this period effectively, ensuring their continued protection and access to the support they are entitled to receive.

The 7-minute briefing aims to provide you with guidance on several key areas:

1. Understanding the NRM process: An overview of the NRM's role in safeguarding young people, especially as they approach legal adulthood, and practical steps to develop transition support plans.

2. Gathering Consent Post-18: Guidance on obtaining informed consent from young people (18 and over), which is mandatory for entering or remaining in the NRM. This briefing and links to wider documentation provide advice on facilitating these critical consent discussions.

3. Support through Transition: Guidance on post-18 support that can be accessed through the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract.

Please click here to access the briefing and find out more.

13. Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel - Annual Report


The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel has published its fourth annual report. This is their most comprehensive report to-date and provides detailed analysis and commentary about the lives of children and families at the heart of local and national learning reviews, and about patterns in practice. 

The report builds on some of the practice themes to make a difference, which they identified in previous annual reports, giving specific consideration this year to the role of leaders in creating the conditions for the best safeguarding practice. The analysis also highlights some important features of the lives of children considered in reviews, as well as the impact of context on multi-agency safeguarding practice.

15. Rise in Measles Cases


Measles cases are on the rise, not just in Wakefield but nationally. Measles spreads very easily among those who are unvaccinated, especially in nurseries and schools and other care and support settings. It can be a very unpleasant illness and, in some children, can be very serious and lead to the need for hospital care. In rare cases, it can cause death. Vaccines are our best line of defence against diseases like measles and help stop outbreaks occurring in the community.

Please encourage all parents and guardians to check children are up to date with their two MMR doses. They can do this by checking the child’s personal child health record (PCHR), known as the red book, or by contacting their GP practice. 

Normally the first is given at 12 months and the second at around three years and four months old. 

It is never too late to catch up. The MMR vaccine is free on the NHS, whatever the age. If anyone has missed one or both doses of the MMR vaccine, their GP practice will be able to arrange an appointment. More information is available on the West Yorkshire Healthier Together website.


There are also useful resources for schools, education and care settings to use:
