What is VIG?

VIG is 1 to 1 support offered to individuals to explore their own communication style, in relation to their children, through the use of video recording and feedback.

Who would benefit from VIG?

Anyone who is experiencing difficulties with their children and wishes to improve their interactions with their children.

Where does VIG take place?

Anywhere, but generally within the family home.

What format does VIG take?

There is no pre-determined format or agenda. The worker will discuss areas of difficulty with the parent and develop a programme with the parent and child.

How can I access VIG?

This is a strictly 1 to 1 support and available by referral only. As it can only be offered to a small number of participants at any time, referrals must be prioritised. Referrals can be made to the Children and Young People Team for school age children. Health and social work professionals can refer to the Early Years Services Group for pre-school children.

Is there a charge?

No. The service is free where a referral has been made and the service offered.
