AVIGuk links and network

​VIG has been highlighted for use by organisations and/or professionals from For Baby's Sake, CASCADE (Children's Social Care Research and Development Centre), Parent Infant Foundation (PIF), Association of Infant Mental Health (AiMH), Togetherness, The Royal Foundation, NSPCC, Maternal Mental Health Alliance, AIT Netherlands, and many more.

 

VIG principles are also being used as part of projects like the Welsh B.E.A.R.s initiative (see their poster here). ​

​

New VIG and VERP practitioners are being trained all the time - with national and international training projects alike. For example, nationally VIG training as part of the Government's Best Start in Life project. With international training including China, Iceland, Italy, Georgia, Greece, Ireland, and many more countries; and inspiring international projects such as the Tanzanian project where AVIGuk Accredited Supervisors and Trainers worked with the charity Railway Children Africa - training, supervising and building capacity, so that local family workers can use VIG to improve outcomes for vulnerable young people in Tanzania.

 

Notably, wherever VIG training occurs for professionals - the feedback is overwhelming positive regarding the impact on their clients, but also for themselves as practitioners.
