Changes to the SIDS investigation procedure
A report on cot deaths published this morning says investigations into sudden unexplained infant deaths need to be led by specially trained doctors and not the police.
The working group - chaired by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC - has outlined guidelines for more paediatric pathologists, better communication between agencies and a duty of care towards the parents as well as the child.
Jenni Murrary asks Baroness Kennedy about the prospect of the report’s recommendations being implemented.
