“This is an incredibly upsetting case'
Northamptonshire Children’s Trust has said it will implement findings from a report completed after a baby just weeks old was accidentally smothered by its mother. The baby died in June 2020 after co-sleeping in a double bed with the woman, who had been drinking heavily and taken cocaine the night before.
The trust was only established in November 2020 but in a statement its chairman said it has adopted guidance to ensure that risks from family members are taken into account. Julian Wooster, the trust’s chairman, said: “This is an incredibly upsetting case, and we owe it to this baby, to ensure that the learnings from this report are put into practice. We accept the findings of the report and have supported the public health safer sleeping campaign to highlight the risks and dangers of co-sleeping.
