The Campaign for Gigi & Building A Culture of Safety - Early Years Insights (Season 3 Episode 1)

The Campaign for Gigi & Building A Culture of Safety - Early Years Insights Welcome back to a brand-new season of Early Years Insights. To launch this next chapter, we begin by hosting an incredibly important and deeply meaningful conversation about Gigi's Campaign. https://campaignforgigi.com Kathy Leatherbarrow sits down with Katie Meehan, the mother behind The Campaign for Gigi. Following the tragic, preventable loss of her daughter Genevieve, Katie has turned immense grief into a powerful movement for national legislative reform. This episode honours Gigi's memory and outlines the non-negotiable steps needed to build a true culture of safety across the UK early years sector. Key Discussion Points: Remembering Genevieve: Katie shares fond memories of Gigi's bright personality, her raucous laugh, and her deep bond with her older sister. Statutory Requirements vs. Guidance: Why converting safe sleep guidelines into strict statutory law ensures mandatory compliance for infants under one. Reforming Inspections: A professional look at lowering the four-to-six-year Ofsted cycle and rolling out 3,000 unannounced safeguarding visits. The Power of CCTV: Why granting inspectors routine access to nursery footage serves as an unfiltered, vital asset to protect children and staff. Standardised Training: Why settings cannot rely on whistleblowing alone, and how national training removes ambiguity in safe sleep practices. Guest: Katie Meehan – Founder of The Campaign for Gigi. Host: Kathy Leatherbarrow – Early Years Consultant at Eden Training Solutions. Connect With Us: Protecting our most vulnerable children is our highest priority.
