Sleep Space Data Record (2019)

From 2019, the Ministry of Health assumes responsibility for overall monitoring of sleep space services in NZ and DHBs are responsible for all quality processes. To complement this, Change for our Children offers district health boards (DHBs) a data support service for timely and useful feedback at a local level, whatever device is distributed. We will send data quarterly to each DHB service on any data entered here, to support quality implementation by DHBs.

This is a 'one stop shop' for any or all of the reporting options below.

  1. Ministry of Health reporting 
  2. Distribution reporting Are we offering sleep spaces to appropriate infants and implementing the programme with fidelity?
  3. Impact reporting Does infant care at 6-8 weeks reflect appropriate use of sleep spaces and safe sleep principles?
