There may of course be other reasons why better beds are required, but, if the issue is one of how exhausted fathers can safely deal with babies, then I would have thought that encouraging parents to ask midwives to take the babies would be a much better solution than encouraging exhausted fathers to bedshare.
Notices implying that bedsharing at home will automatically be safe are never a good idea, even for purposes of anti-bean-counter vents.
