Standard (two-day) course

A two-day training course that’s designed to help managers, front-line workers and volunteers in children’s centres and other early years settings:

• develop the confidence, knowledge and skills to work effectively with fathers
• explore and develop strategies to engage with fathers
• think about how to create a ‘whole team’ approach to engaging fathers
• plan needs-led approaches to engaging with and supporting fathers
• consider how to use networks to support fathers.

Participants on the course explore:

• why fathers are so important to children
• barriers to positive father-child engagement in families where mum and dad are together, and where they are not
• how early years services can reinforce these barriers, and how they can break them down
• the personal and cultural issues which shape our perceptions of men/fathers
• effective recruitment strategies.
