Our vision is for a world where fewer babies die

The Department of Health committed to halving the rate of stillbirths and infant deaths in England by 2025.

To reach this goal, governments in the UK will have to at least double the rate at which they are reducing baby deaths every year between now and then. It is one of Sands’ six strategic commitments to push for the 2020 and 2015 ambitions to be met. We are involved in several pieces of national work to support this aim and ensure parents' voices are at the heart of initiatives to prevent avoidable deaths, wherever possible.
