Separated fathers offered workplace courses

1 min read
A think-tank that promotes father-friendly services is to run a workplace-based course for separated fathers in April, CYP Now can reveal.

The Fatherhood Institute, which delivers the government's Think Fathers campaign, will offer advice, information and support to separated fathers through employers.

The programme of half-day courses and personalised support is based on a successful Australian scheme called Staying Connected.

"This is a way of offering support to a group that really needs it and tends to be hard to reach," said Fatherhood Institute's deputy chief executive David Bartlett. "You don't tend to get a lot of non-resident fathers pitching up at the local children's centre."

The half-day sessions will offer advice to fathers on how to manage their relationships in a way that suits the best interests of their child.
