Safe Sleep for Infants

As part of your services’ safe sleep practice, a risk management plan should be prepared to show how you have identified and manage the risks for the children in your care. You need to be able to show how you have considered each individual child and that you have tailored your sleep and rest practices to accommodate their needs.

 

This detailed multi-page Risk Assessment Template and Guide has been prepared with a focus on safe sleep for infant children in the 4-11 month age group.  It includes references and information for your general knowledge, as well as identified risks and ways that you can manage these. 

 

  • Information about the importance of sleep and having a safe sleep environment within a childcare setting

  • What to consider for assessment and rating

  • Completing a risk assessment form

  • Identified risks and management:

    • educator preparedness

    • rest area safety check

    • furniture and furnishings

    • preparing the room for rest time

    • preparing the bed for rest time

    • preparing the child for rest time

    • during rest time

    • cleaning and storing bedding

    • first aid and medical assistance

    • emergency situations

    • after the activity

    • educator wellbeing and service compliance

    • supporting families

  • References and articles of interest

 

The Risk Assessment Template and Guide is one of four main documents in the pack you will receive.  Second is the Checklist, which will help keep you on track.  The other two documents are templated forms to help you understand the children’s needs and the families’ expectations, and how you will accommodate them. 

 

Should you also provide care to newborns (0-3 months), toddlers (1-2 years) and/or preschool aged children (3-5years), you will need to have a separate risk assessment for how you manage these age groups.
