Family organisations join to urge more help for young dads.
Young fathers need more support to help them develop and maintain a positive presence in their children’s lives, according to a new report by a coalition of family support organisations including the Fatherhood Institute.
In the report, Are we nearly there yet, Dad?, the Family Strategic Partnership (led by Barnardo's) plus a group of voluntary sector bodies (including the Fatherhood Institute) recommended that Government should collect data on fathers systematically, local authorities should appoint lead professionals to coordinate support for young fathers, and relationship support provision should focus more on supporting father-child relationships.
The report features six case studies of young fathers’ journeys through family services, from maternity services onwards - highlighting the challenges they face and the support they lack.
