Safe Sleep Survey

Safe Sleep Week will be held from 3 March to 9 March 2025

Survey ends Sunday 23 February.

It's important to know what a safe sleep environment for your baby looks like. This means making sure there are no dangers around and that your baby is sleeping safely. 

But do you know what’s safe and what isn’t when it comes to your baby’s sleep? 

To help us raise awareness of Safe Sleep Week and advocate for safer sleep practices, particularly in the use of bouncinettes and inclined sleepers, we’d like to understand how well you know what safe sleeping means for your bub and child. 

We’re asking the community to complete a simple survey that will ask you a series of questions on safe sleeping. Some have photos and you’ll be asked to identify the correct safe sleep space. Some are multiple-choice.
