Contact with any other agencies
NEWPIP aims to support the relationship between caregiver(s) and baby or toddler when this is likely to become, or is already, under stress. The age range for working with a family is from bump to 24 months. Please use the risk factor check list on page 4 of this referral form as a guide to assist you to clarify potential stressors on the caregiving relationship and to give a profile of the family’s’ vulnerabilities.
Where there are planned or ongoing child protection issues, including multi-agency assessments, we will liaise with other agencies to consider the appropriateness of referral at that time. If a caregiver has mental health difficulties we would expect support to already be in place from adult services. Please give as much information as possible and feel free to either write a separate supporting letter or telephone us as well.
During sessions video will usually be taken as part of the work. This provides useful feedback to support parents in understanding what happens between them and their child. We use video as it is the best way of looking at and assessing what goes on in everyday play and interaction in order to highlight different aspects of parenting. Please explain this to the parent (s). This does not imply that they have given permission in advance. We will ask parents to sign a form to give permission before any filming takes place, and they have the choice as to whether or not they wish to do this.
Stresses on the parent child relationship
It helps the team in considering referrals if the checklist below is used as a guide to assist you in thinking about potential stressors on the caregiving relationship and to give a profile of the family’s’ vulnerabilities. Many known risk factors put a strain on the baby-parent relationship. An analysis of these allows intervention to be considered at a preventative level, before the infant’s quality of attachment has been compromised. Usually, the presence of four to six moderate risk factors is significant, but individual factors can sometimes also merit attention.
However, there are certain serious conditions that, in some circumstances, call for interventions on their own. These have been show in yellow below.
