Fathers Plus National Conference: Including Men in Children's Learning

Including Men in Children’s Learning - Evidence from successful practice

The Including Men in Children’s Learning Conference is a Children North East Fathers Plus event. It will bring together leading organisations from across the UK that are working successfully to include and involve fathers and men in children’s learning.

Children North East is the oldest children's charity in the North East. Established in 1891 the organisation runs a number of community based projects and services.

Fathers Plus is one of the leading practice based father work organisations. The service works with agencies and organisation to ensure they involve and include fathers and men.

Fathers Plus’ work with family men in schools and children’s centres has achieved national recognition and was cited as an example of good practice in the Sure Start Children’s Centre Guidance.

Father figures are important to children and young people. Evidence from research shows that where fathers and men are involved in children’s lives and learning those children tend to grow up safer, healthier and achieve more. This conference will give delegates the skills, tools and inspiration they need to successfully begin engaging men in children’s learning.
