Here’s How You Can Help
We are gathering stories from families affected.
If you have been affected by accusations of FII, either as a family member or as a professional, there are a number of organisations who provide further information and support
We are calling on Archives of Disease in Childhood to consider an editorial review or commentary on the 1999 paper “Unnatural sudden infant death” by Roy Meadow.
The paper continues to be cited in contemporary research, yet key aspects of its reasoning pre-date major advances in medical science and statistics.
Our request is a proportionate one: we are not alleging misconduct and we are not calling for retraction at this stage. We are asking for appropriate editorial context so that readers today can interpret the paper in line with current evidence and standards of research integrity.
We invite academics, clinicians, charity leaders, and others concerned with evidence-based practice contact us to add their names in support of this request.
