The Scottish Cot Death Trust was formed in 1985 with the following three aims.

• To fund research into the cause(s) of cot death.
• To support bereaved families and ensure provision of breathing monitors for infants born into a family which has suffered a cot death.
• To educate the public and health care professionals about cot death.

The Trust provides information leaflets for professionals and bereaved families as well as contact with a fieldworker. They can also provide a 'befriender', a parent who has suffered a cot death in the past, and counselling.

The Trust's information leaflets are available free of charge. Titles include the following.

• Information Leaflet for Bereaved Parents
• Information Leaflet for Health Visitors

• Information Leaflet for Clergy
• Information Leaflet for Funeral Directors
• Information Leaflet for Police Officers
• Information on the Grief of Children
• Information on the Grief of Grandparents

A Newsletter is published twice yearly.
