NEW parents are being given the chance to attend a training seminar to help with newborn safety.

Chantal Lockey will be hosting a range of seminars in Hampshire providing guidance on preventative measures of cot death to new parents and childcare providers.

Ms Lockey said: “A large proportion of the deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome could be avoided each year in the UK. We really want to educate parents, parents-to-be and childcare professionals.”

The seminar is due to take place on Saturday, May 24 in Southampton and Saturday, September 13 in Winchester and a certificate will be provided on the day.

Details of venues will be announced closer to the date. For more information visit the website chantallockey.org.
