Video-intervention to promote positive parenting and sensitive discipline course (VIPP-SD) (CPD85)

Summary

 The Tavistock and Portman are offering an exciting opportunity for professionals working with young children (under six) and families to undertake training in video intervention to promote positive parenting and sensitive discipline (VIPP-SD).

Recommended in the NICE guidelines for children’s attachment (November 2015), and developed by some of the world’s leading attachment researchers from Leiden University in Holland, VIPP-SD is an evidence-based intervention designed to increase a parent or carer’s sensitivity and attachment to their child, with the ultimate goal of promoting secure attachment relationships.

Through a combination of teaching, group work and supervision with a practice family, this training programme will provide you with the knowledge, skills and support to use VIPP-SD in your practice. After completion of the training programme, you will have the opportunity to become an accredited VIPP-SD intervener. Training in VIPP-SD can also develop your ability to observe and understand young children’s communication and behaviour, and their interactions with caregivers, which can support your work with children and families at a broader level.
