Pepi-pod Sleep Space Programme

Sleep Space Data Record (2021) 


Welcome to the Pēpi-Pod® Programme's online database for monitoring infant portable sleep space services. 


From June 2021, Change for our Children requires all agencies supplying Pēpi-Pod® sleep spaces in New Zealand, to enter distribution and impact data here. We have reintroduced this quality process to support effective implementation at local level. The hope is that we see a return to reducing infant death rates, from careful monitoring and regular feedback of data.


This is a 'one stop shop' for the reporting options below. It can be used for any type of sleep space offered (Wahakura, Pēpi-Pod® ...)


  1. Service details 
  2. Distribution reporting Are we offering sleep spaces to appropriate infants and implementing the programme with fidelity (i.e. as intended)? 
  3. Impact reporting Does infant care at 6-8 weeks reflect appropriate use of sleep spaces and safe sleep principles?


INSTRUCTIONS: For online entry, please enter distribution and impact data at the same time. Use the tab key to move to the next response. (Revised 14 April 2021)
