VIG is a versatile tool for aiding and enhancing positive communication and interaction between people. The intervention that uses short clips of video to identify the strengths of those involved, to enable them to observe, analyse and then change their behaviour.
VIG is offered in Northamptonshire by On Track.
Between March 2006 and January 2008 On Track received 93 referrals for direct work with children (aged 0-19 years) and their families, from a wide range of agencies, eg schools, health visitors, school nurses, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) workers, social workers and family support workers and a wide range of risk factors.
On Track also trains other staff, under the umbrella of the Children and Young Peoples Partnership, to use VIG in their work with children, young people and their families. Two members of staff are now accredited supervisors and are able to facilitate the use of VIG as a professional development tool.
