SUDI process

Our process for reviewing a sudden unexpected death in infancy.


What we do

We help professionals involved in SUDI by:

  • communicating information to ensure a SUDI review is undertaken
  • providing guidance and offering support with the SUDI process
  • providing information to help support family members close to the deceased infant
  • collecting and analysing national data to identify trends and risk factors.

Collecting national data

We review and analyse SUDI data to identify trends and any potential contributing factors.
