Fathers Plus Training and Support

All Fathers Plus' programmes have been developed from practical experience working with men in service settings over the last 13 years. They are designed to support your work with fathers and men.

Training programmes can be purchased on a 'per place' basis (where you purchase one or more places on a scheduled programme), or on a per course basis from as little as £40 per person, where the client organisation buys in the programme and the trainers and provides places to employees/partner agencies in their area. We also develop and run bespoke programmes and workshops to suit the specific requirements of the client organisation.

Training the Workforce
The Train the Trainer programme will ensure that up to 25 staff (nominated by managers as Fathers Champions) are able to deliver the ‘Introduction to working with Fathers and Male Carers’ two hour course. Each of the 25 staff will be provided with the resources to train their colleagues, stakeholders and volunteers. This will enable all staff in each locality/cluster to receive a basic grounding in how and why they should work with fathers.

Aim

Father Inclusion Audit Training

The Gender Equality Duty places a statutory obligation on public services to meet the different needs of men and women.

The Father Inclusion Audit from Children North East Fathers Plus gives you a structured, fast and cost effective way of ensuring that your organisation is inclusive of fathers and male carers.

It helps teams and organisations to:
• Audit present effectiveness in father/male carer inclusion, to understand strengths and barriers within services
