Campaign for Gigi
Gigi was killed whilst in nursery care. The nursery worker responsible has been convicted of manslaughter. But Gigi's story is not just about one individual, it's about a system that failed her.
Campaign for Gigi: How The Lullaby Trust can support early years staff
Genevieve ‘Gigi’ Meehan’s tragic death at nursery has resulted in an urgent and honest discussion about safety in early years settings. We are working alongside Gigi’s parents Katie and John, and Tom Morrison MP to initiate substantial changes that will keep babies and children safer.
If you are familiar with the Campaign for Gigi, you will know that legal justice is only one part of this story. We are also working to ensure that every early years professional is aware of and can access the information, resources and training that we offer, and that enables them to keep babies safe. This is a crucial step in making sure that no family has to experience such unimaginable loss again.
How we can help you keep every baby safe:
We’re here for you, and for every baby.
We know that safer sleep saves lives. Since our Back to Sleep campaign in 1991, over 30,000 babies’ lives have been saved. Though we don’t know what causes SIDS, we know that safer sleep greatly reduces that risk.
If you can’t find the answer to your question, don’t hesitate to contact us. That’s what we’re here for.
Working together for safer starts
We recognise that that so many early years professionals are skilled, dedicated and committed to children’s safety and wellbeing. Every day, they work with care and dedication, often under pressure with limited resources.
The Campaign for Gigi is not an indictment of early years workers. This campaign is in response to the facts of Gigi’s story, and the evidence-based changes that could help prevent future tragedies. Her story is a heart-breaking example of what can happen when systems fail and safeguards are missing.
We want to see early years professionals better supported and given all the tools and knowledge they need to keep children safe.
