Event description
Fathers and other male carers make a difference to children’s lives, but sometimes feel that child welfare services are not for them. Practitioners often try to involve them in services, but sometimes find it difficult to engage them. In this workshop, we will consider recent national and international research on this important topic, discussing issues and exploring ways to incorporate these ideas into our practice. By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Describe three different approaches to fatherhood.
2. Choose an appropriate strategy to engage both absent and present fathers and carers as part of a whole family approach.
3. Incorporate an analysis of a father’s/male carer’s strengths and risks into written records and professional assessments.
This is aimed at all professionals and carers who come into contact with young people and families, including managers who have responsibility for supervision, policy and decision-making
