This project implemented and evaluated multi-agency <i>Eyes on the Baby</i> SUDI prevention in Northumberland, a large rural English county.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A Steering Group comprising diverse organisations oversaw the programme. The multi-agency workforce was grouped by job roles into three training strands based on frequency and type of contact with priority families. Online training was accessed individually or in teams. Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) supported engagement and embedding SUDI prevention into practice. Pre- and post-training surveys assessed staff knowledge and confidence with SUDI prevention. Follow-up surveys captured staff feedback and engagement at 2, 4 and 12 months post-training.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Staff in 187 roles across 25 services were recruited; 607 of the 1007 staff registered completed training. SUDI-prevention knowledge and confidence increased across all strands; knowledge remained high 2 and 4 months after completion. Commitment to SUDI prevention was sustained over time. SUDI-prevention champions helped embed learning into everyday practice. At 1 year, 95% of the 73 staff who responded to follow-up remained actively engaged in SUDI prevention. Staff with limited contact with priority families were the least likely to sustain engagement. At the project conclusion, Northumberland County Council adopted the programme for their pan-Northumberland training platform.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong><i>Eyes on the Baby</i> can train and sustain staff engagement in multi-agency SUDI prevention. Key stakeholders with diverse experiences of SUDI prevention oversaw the programme. A Steering Group-led implementation approach encouraged staff to accept SUDI prevention within their roles and was reinforced by team leaders.

Underpinning this complexity is the range of determinants of sedentary behaviour. We report on a participatory actor mapping exercise which sought to understand the people and organisations in the local system in which a novel exercise referral scheme in a suburban/semi-rural region of England has been introduced.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The participatory actor mapping exercise was conducted in two phases in September 2023. The first phase generated a draft actor map visually illustrating the key organisations and individuals (actors) that make up the local physical activity promotion system. The map was aligned to a socio-ecological model in which actors were positioned within a category of determinants. In the second phase, the draft actor map was refined during two workshops with participants (<i>n</i> = 30) representing the key local organisations who sought to promote physical activity.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>The process of mapping revealed several factors influencing physical activity promotion: (1) differing views on the determinants of physical inactivity, and hence, a hesitancy towards addressing sedentary behaviour through a strategic systems approach; (2) an emerging system of actors with interdependent roles which sometimes act independently; (3) local commitment to encouraging increased leisure time activity but supported via a generalised approach to physical activity promotion; and (4) a peripheral role of the studied exercise referral scheme in the system for local physical activity provisions.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The process of a participatory approach to actor mapping highlighted both opportunities and challenges for physical activity promotion.
