Little day-in-the-life snippet with our Taurima kaimahi at the SUDI prevention wānanga with Hapai Te Hauora - Maori Public Health✨

What an experience and such an amazing kaupapa. Being able to come together, learn, and grow our understanding means we can take that knowledge back to our whānau — uplifting and empowering them with safe sleep practices for our pēpi.

Yesterday, some of our taurima kaimahi were invited to attend the SUDI Prevention wānanga in Rotorua with Hāpai Te Hauora. The wānanga focused on how we can better protect our mokopuna and strengthen safe sleep practices within our whānau.

The SUDI messaging has been refreshed to reflect new foundations that centre whānau aspirations, affirm cultural identity, and place collective responsibility at the heart of keeping pēpi safe.

In 2025, Hāpai Te Hauora worked alongside whānau through regional wānanga, together with researchers, midwives, Pacific health professionals, and their Expert Advisory Group. From this collaboration, new Foundations for Safe Sleep were developed — practical, judgement-free, and culturally grounded guidance to support whānau.

The four key foundations are:

1. Face Up, Face Clear
2. Firm & Flat
3. Free
4. Fathers & Family

These foundations strengthen our shared commitment to ensuring our pēpi sleep safely, surrounded by the aroha and support of their whānau.
