Working together for parents and infants

Now in Year 2, the Parent-Infant Partnership is working across Edinburgh to support parents and babies experiencing adversity – and to improve our collective response to early parenting. PIP is a collaborative effort – we are trying to create clearer referral pathways, embed more reflective tools, work in closer ways and amplify the voice of the infant so we can create the best opportunities for parents and infants to stay safely together and to be safe, healthy and supported in those first 1000 days of a new babies’ life, starting from conception.

Our PIP practitioners are trained in trauma-informed care, infant observation and working with relational risk. They work alongside social work, health and multi-agency teams to provide intensive support which also includes a range of evidence-led interventions:

• Parents Under Pressure

• Alarm Distress Baby Scale

• Solihull Approach

• Video Interaction Guidance
