The FIP-MO is a specialist intervention which has been developed for use with male and female offenders with a mental/personality disorder who have a history of deliberate firesetting
The FIPP is a specialist intervention which has been developed for use with prisoners who have a history of deliberate firesetting.
The training includes a copy of either the FIP-MO or FIPP manual for all delegates along with all reading and training materials to enable them to run the programme.
