DDP Study Days
The first DDP Study Days, run by Kim Golding and Julie Hudson, started in Worcester in 2007 becoming increasingly popular and often oversubscribed. Now Study Days are run in the south west of England and in the Midlands about once a year.

Local DDP Special Interest Group (SIGs)
We have a growing network of local DDP Special Interest Groups in the north east and north west of England, the Midlands, London, the south west and the south of England. DDP Connects UK support SIGS as a way of offering a free space over a morning or afternoon, with time to build professional connections, to keep in touch with and support individuals, teams and services in the wider DDP community. Most SIGS ask that those who come have completed at least DDP level one training.
