Video Interaction Guidance is a strengths based intervention which uses video with families to improve
parent child relationships by promoting attunement and attachment.

• The Cycles of film, shared review and traject plan
• Supporting parents to understand attunement

• “100% better, happy, we are communicating as a family. We talk to each other when we have a problem
• Anything else about VIG …“It should be given to any parent, not just when you get into trouble “(father)

Conclusions
• The VIG population of parents appears to be a ‘high need’ sample
• There are indications of improvement in the self reports of parents on their parenting strategies and on the behaviour and emotions of their children
• Parents at the end of the programme are giving positive feedback
• Interviews with parents are exploring the barriers and facilitators to effective work with parents where there are concerns over possible neglect
