Our campaigns
Where there are obstacles standing in the way of progress towards more father-inclusive policy and practice, we tackle these in a variety of ways - including, sometimes, 'going public' via a campaign.
​
Our campaigns vary in their scope, audience, and the kinds of actions we call on supporters to take.
Six weeks for dads
Join our campaign for a better paternity offer for Britain's fathers
MITEY
Supporting the early years sector to gender-diversify its workforce
Time with Dad
Improving the support men get to spend time caring for their children
We want all UK fathers to have the right to six weeks’ well-paid leave in their baby’s first year, as a minimum.
​
Following our successful Parliamentary petition last year, we are continuing our campaign to influence the next Government to reform the statutory paternity and parental leave system.

Visit our campaign webpage to find out what we're calling for, why change is needed, what we're doing, and, crucially, how you can help.
Our Men In The Early Years campaign works to improve recruitment and retention of men by the early years education and childcare sector.
Men currently make up only 2% of the workforce: a percentage that has barely changed for the last quarter-century.
Our MITEY website offers information for men interested in early years careers, and resources, including the MITEY Charter, to help early years providers develop male-friendly strategies.
​
We also offer audits and training, and provide insights to the press.
Time with Dad is a fledgling awareness-raising campaign and network linked to our organisational strategy.
​
Through it we aim to publicise, to a general audience, our work in the fields of health, work, and education. Funding permitting, we aim to engage fathers and others to support specific campaign actions and volunteer to share their stories in the media.
​
We provide updates via occasional newsletters, and use #timewithdad on our social media pages.
