Safer Sleep Week 10-16 March Posted or Updated on 12 Mar 2025

Safer Sleep Week (10 to 16 March 2025)

Black Country Child Death Review Strategic Partnership (BCCDRSP), part of Black Country Integrated Care System, is sharing safer sleep advice during Safer Sleep Week (10-16 March) with parents/carers of babies under one year. 

Sadly, there are still deaths of babies in the Black Country each year that could have been prevented if safer sleeping advice had been followed. Reviews of child deaths in the Black Country has identified unsafe sleeping practices (such as room temperature) as one of the modifiable factors. 

As well as sharing top tips for safer sleeping, this year we are giving out room thermometers in each of our four places, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Sandwell to parents/carers of babies under one year old to help them to ensure that, where baby sleeps, has the correct room temperature.
