Bringing Fathers In is a series of smart, punchy, evidence-based information sheets backed up with a series of online research summaries. 

Jeremy Davies writes: Two years ago the Fatherhood Institute published a global research review which identified and explored the evidence on parenting and other programmes’ promotion of father-involvement in the first eight years of children’s lives. 

Our 2012 review, Fatherhood: Parenting Programmes and Policy – A Critical Review of Best Practice, examined evidence from across the world about parenting and other programmes’ focus on father-involvement as a means to impact on family violence, child abuse, children’s health or learning. 

In Fatherhood: Parenting Programmes and Policies – A Critical Review of Best Practice, Fiona McAllister and Adrienne Burgess from the Fatherhood Institute review policies and programmes that promote or facilitate the involvement of fathers and father-figures from the pre-natal period through the first eight years of their children’s lives.
