Safeguarding Children means protecting children and young people from harm or abuse so they can grow and develop into happy and healthy children. If your concerned about a child please view the Safeguarding page.

The Safer Sleep information and resources in this section provides simple steps as to how you can sleep your baby to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), known as cot death.

Essex Child and family wellbeing colleagues are trained to offer information and support regarding safer sleep for babies and your Health Visitor will discuss this with you at your new birth visit. Information and support is also available at our family hub drop-ins across Essex.
