Situation
SUDC is the sudden and unexpected death of a child aged 1-18 years where the cause of death remains unexplained after a thorough investigation. 40 children are affected every year in the UK, more than young child deaths due to traffic accidents, fires or drowning and comparable to 1-2 seemingly healthy children dying every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up. There is limited awareness and research to understand SUDC and currently, no-one can predict or prevent these deaths.
Solution
When a seemingly happy and healthy child dies suddenly and no-one can tell you why, you need help. You need to know you are not alone. As the national charity dedicated to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood, SUDC UK provides families with support, information, advocacy and resources. SUDC UK delivers medical training for professionals, raises awareness of SUDC and funds crucial research to make SUDC predictable and preventable in the future.
