About our training and consultancy

The Fatherhood Institute offers a comprehensive range of services to support all children and families service providers.

Our courses are delivered by experienced Fatherhood Institute trainers and include a mixture of taught sessions, workshop exercises in small groups and large group discussions. All our courses show you how to develop and implement a whole-team approach to engaging with fathers.

The courses we offer are aimed at service managers and frontline workers from a variety of settings, including Children’s Centres, maternity services, child protection, schools and family learning services, Job Centre Plus, child and adolescent mental health services, teenage pregnancy services and youth offending teams.

We offer off the shelf courses, or can work with you to develop a bespoke course focused on your specific needs.

The Fatherhood Institute’s consultancy services can help you transform your services and strategies: we can also develop audit solutions for your local authority or primary care trust.



Training

Workplace seminars for dads and mums
The Fatherhood Institute (www.fatherhoodinstitute.org) is the world’s leading independent ‘think tank’ on fatherhood. We support both mothers and fathers as earners and carers. 

Schools – boost your results by becoming a FRED provider
‘When I see my children at the weekend they say, “We don’t want to go to McDonald’s – can we read stories instead?”.’ You probably already know how important dads can be to their children’s learning – and if you don’t, you can find out here. 

Creating father-inclusive health and social services: one-day course
  The government’s Healthy Child programme says: “The contribution that fathers make to their children’s development, health and wellbeing is important, but services do not do enough to recognise or support them. 



News

New guide leads the way on recruitment of men into early years
Our groundbreaking male recruitment guide for the UK early years education sector – available for free to all members of the MITEY (Men In The Early Years) network – is out today (International Men’s Day, 19 November). 

Our campaign for father-inclusive support for working families
Over the next six weeks we will submit our responses to the UK Government’s Good Work Plan, which includes three separate consultations: one about neonatal leave and pay, one about transparency of employer work-life balance policies (these first two must be submitted by 11 October), and one about parenting leave and pay (to be submitted by 29 November). 

Why we are campaigning for more men in early years education
Right now, just 3% of Britain’s early years staff are men. That figure that has barely changed for the last 20 years, despite huge increases in men’s involvement as hands-on fathers, and better progress towards gender equality in other traditionally female work sectors, like primary school teaching (15% male) and nursing (11%).
