Implementations and Prices
Get started with a 3-day training
iiP offers a high quality 3-day training (package 1) that prepares facilitators to deliver the iiP core programme with parents. The training is appropriate for anyone working in mental health, social services, education, family support and other caring professions. For a thorough implementation we recommend package 3.
iiP Facilitators can then go on to become Supervisors and Trainers in the programme.

Implementation Recommendations
When implementing the iiP programme this is how to get the best possible outcomes for children and families:
- Train at least three iiP Facilitators to ensure robustness and continuity in programme delivery.
- Provide 7-8 hours a week for 12 weeks for each iiP Facilitator to deliver an iiP parent group. This includes preparation for the group, setting up the room, delivering the sessions with parents and weekly phone calls with parents. Time to conduct enrolment interviews and organise child-care is additional.
- Train iiP Facilitators to Level 4 (Fidelity Facilitators) which includes two masterclasses and three themed supervisions to ensure high quality programme delivery and thereby the best outcomes for children and families.
Training Pathway
Level 1: The training pathway starts from the bottom with the red brick, programme materials. These include facilitator guides and programme videos. The quality in programme delivery and implementation increases for every brick you add.
Level 2: The 3-day training includes a license which gives access to all the online materials needed to deliver the iiP Core Parent Programme. After the initial training, facilitators are ready to begin delivering the programme to parents.
Level 3: iiP then offers further training to enhance facilitators' skills. Participating in 2 skills-based masterclasses makes you an iiP Accredited Facilitator.
Level 4: You can expand your skills further by participating in 3 video-based, themed supervisions, which makes you a Fidelity Facilitator. Implementation research shows that to maintain positive outcomes for families, facilitators should receive on-going supervision. Therefore Level 4 is our recommended package for sustainable implementation.
Level 5 and 6: The two top bricks are designed to build long term sustainability and enhance cost-effectiveness for the organisation. Once accredited as Fidelity Facilitators you can develop local iiP Supervisors (Level 5) and Trainers (Level 6) in your own organisation.
Package 3 is our recommended package for developing iiP Facilitators.
Once iiP Facilitators are accredited at Level 4 in the training pathway model the next logical step for an organisation is to build sustainability and cost-effectiveness by developing local iiP Supervisors and Trainers. The supervisor and trainer levels each requires that the facilitator passes a review and participate in training and accreditation process related to the two levels.
When the organisation has developed local supervisors and trainers the organisation will be self-supporting in training and supervising new facilitators.
invest in play is striving to build a strong community of practice locally and internationally for all iiP practitioners on all implementation levels.
