Nursery worker Kate Roughley was jailed for 14 years in May last year after being found guilty of the manslaughter of nine-month-old Genevieve Meehan.

The 37-year-old swaddled Genevieve, strapped her face down on a bean bag and left her for an hour-and-a-half.

Roughley was caring for Genevieve in her role as deputy manager and 'baby room leader' at Tiny Toes Nursery in Cheadle Hulme in May 2022.

Manchester Crown Court heard that she had shown 'hostility' towards the infant in the days before her death.

Now, a year on from the trial, parents Katie Wheeler and John Meehan have launched a campaign to improve safety standards in early years settings.
