My Dad Matters Practitioner Pack

The 'My Dad Matters Practitioner Pack' is a tool for practitioners who wish to engage with fathers and men.

Inside this useful pack you will find a wealth of resources to help you develop your work with fathers and male carers

All resources have been professionally designed and printed and are available only from Children North East.

Developed from over ten years experience in father inclusion, the pack can help you to consult with fathers and men about your service, audit what you and your team already do well and what you still need to work on to directly recruit fathers to your service

Use the free Case Study Poster to see how other services have developed activities for dads!

The pack also contains a special top tips guide for working with fathers and contains information about the key government policies and drivers around including fathers and men

Use Father Friendly Postcards to 'break the ice' and tell families in your area what you offer for dads! (The Dads Pack contains a free sample of the postcards - further postcards can be ordered from Fathers Plus)

Along with the Top Tips resource, the Father work Record Sheet creates a useful auditing and monitoring tool that can encourage work with men and help organisations measure performance.

The A2 Consultation Poster will help you get the views of dads, mums, carers and children about father involvement. Be creative and put your posters where they will provoke the most contact - why not try the community centres, sports venues or schools (Additional consultation posters can be purchased separately from Fathers Plus)
