International Society for the Study and Prevention of Perinatal and Infant Death

When a sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) occurs, professionals from a wide variety of agencies are involved. The interactions between the different professionals and agencies have a bearing on the investigation and the effect the experience has on the parents/carers. The toolkit enables each agency to easily access the appropriate resources required, as well as signposting them to current national guidance for their profession. The toolkit contains interactive timelines and flowcharts, demonstrating the involvement of all professionals at various stages and the likely interactions between them. The SUDI Scotland toolkit also provides information on support available for staff and bereaved parents and carers. For further information, please visit www.sudiscotland.org.uk.
