PMH Training V5.0 VIPP

This specification seeks to procure Video Feedback Intervention for Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) training to be delivered to suitable practitioners working in specialist perinatal mental health services and maternal mental health services across all seven regions in England. The VIPP-SD intervention can be implemented by all professionals working with caregivers of young children. Professionals include special needs educationalists, psychologists, social psychiatric nurses, social workers, social therapists, pedagogical staff, employees of infant welfare centres, child psychiatrists, behavioural scientists and trainees in similar or related fields. HEE aims to increase the number of trained practitioners in VIPP-SD in England that are able to offer the intervention to parents and carers of babies with or at risk of relationship difficulties. VIPP-SD is recommended in the NICE guideline for Children's attachment (November 2015). The effectiveness of the VIPP-SD on sensitive caregiving has been demonstrated through a series of randomized controlled trials.
