One of the Scottish Cot Death Trust’s core aims is to help bereaved families who have experienced the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or young child. Through the provision of support services such as dedicated one-to-one support with a professional bereavement support worker, counselling, and befriending, we are here for every family affected by these tragic deaths, including parents, grandparents, and siblings.

A healthy baby or young child dies suddenly and unexpectedly every nine days in Scotland, and Safe Sleep Scotland enables the Trust to reach out to another audience of carers and professionals so that together we can reduce the risks associated with many of these deaths and prevent those that are sleep related accidents.
