NVR UK. Peaceful Opposition.
A national organisation and professional accreditation body.
We aim to spread the word about the benefits of NVR, champion its delivery and, by means of research, continue to raise the standard of practitioners in the UK.
The NVR Tree
NVR stands for Non Violent Resistance. The NVR Parenting Approach was originally developed to support adults caring for young people presenting with behaviours that concern such as violence, risk taking, aggression or self-destruction. The NVR approach is now being used in a variety of contexts including adoption, communities, SEND, schools and with adults in both direct work and in group settings.
Please explore our NVR Tree. The roots represent the founders, activists and leaders in NVR movements; the leaves and trunk outline the approaches, principles and methods that underpin the Non Violent Resistance Parenting Approach. Click on any individual leaf or marked area for more information.
