Safe Sleeping Program

Educating parents and care givers of newborn babies is a high priority.

Since 1990 our education programs, giving parents advice about reducing the risk of SIDS and safe sleeping for babies and toddlers, has resulted in the saving of over 1000 babies lives.

The program is delivered to parents through maternity hospitals, community health centres, doctors and health professionals and consists of lectures, written information and videos.

Professional Training

As a small organisation, we are reliant on health professionals assisting us with educating the community. Much of our education work is directed at ongoing education of midwives, community health nurses, paramedics, ambulance officers, professional child care workers and health care workers.

Community Outreach

Information and questions regarding safe infant care is provided by telephone during business hours, and through the provision of printed materials forwarded by post.

Lectures and presntations and Training on the new Safe Sleeping Standards are available to Hospitals, Childcare Centres and Community groups. Please call our Education Manager Dorothy Crosby through the office or email her at dorothycrosby@sidsandkids.org for more information.

Exhibitions and Displays

Conducted at special events throughout the year. Stay tuned for our 2012 dates.
