Members of the All of Us Edinburgh campaign, which aims to prevent child neglect in the city, would like to invite you to a free lunchtime webinar. All of Us is a partnership between Edinburgh’s Child Protection Committee and NSPCC Scotland with support from Home Start and the NHS to encourage families in the city to seek help and raise awareness among communities and professionals about the early signs of child neglect and how to help families who are struggling.
Title: The importance of working with fathers in child protection; exploring the challenges and opportunities
The session will be hosted by NSPCC Scotland and will take place virtually on Tue 29 Mar between 12:15pm and 1:00pm via MS Teams.
Guest Speaker: Adrienne Burgess, Joint Chief Executive & Head of Research at The Fatherhood Institute
Adrienne has written widely on fatherhood and couple relationships. One of the founders of the Fatherhood Institute (then Fathers Direct – set up in 1999), she has a thorough understanding of both research and practice. Her book Fatherhood Reclaimed: the making of the modern father (Vermilion, 1997) helped set a new agenda on fatherhood in the UK and has been published throughout the world.
The session will explore the key elements of father-inclusive practice, including exploration of the research, to support professionals in giving men the help they need to care for and spend time with their children – and to play their part in supporting their health, learning and development.
