Resources to make fathers feel welcome

The Fatherhood Institute has produced a set of posters and photo-cards to help services involve fathers and make them feel welcome.

The posters include the words "welcome" and "Dad" in languages including Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, French, Hindi, Polish, Somali, Spanish, Turkish and Urdu.

The photo-cards, which have research findings, facts and exercises on the back, are designed to be used by services including schools, children's centres, nurseries and youth clubs, both with children and families and to train staff.

Jeremy Davies, publications manager at the Fatherhood Institute said: "There is plenty of guidance that says involve fathers but many services have not found a way to change the way they do things. The aim is for these resources to help services take on board the need to engage fathers as well as mothers."

The resources, which cost £12 for the posters and £12.50 for the photo-pack (plus VAT) are available from the Fatherhood Institute website or from 0845 634 1328.
