The Somerset Safeguarding Children Partnership (SSCP) are launching a new campaign! “SSCP NAI Awareness Week 2024” will be launched in the first week of July (1st to 5th), aimed at raising awareness about non-accidental injuries to babies and support services for families.

Across the UK over the last few years there has been a significant rise in non-accidental injuries (NAIs), particularly in very young babies under the age of 1 year old, evidenced in reports from national charities, the National Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel, and more locally in numerous Rapid Reviews and Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (CSPRs).

The campaign #nurture_all_infants is a collaboration between the SSCP and Somerset’s Public Health and aims to provide practitioners working with families to have an increased awareness of risk factors associated with non-accidental injuries (NAIs), provide links, resources and support for families to access and information and guidance for parents and carers with the launch of a new Non-accidental Injury webpage on the SSCP website.
