Supporting Young Fathers Network
Welcome to the young fathers network microsite. This site was developed by the national charity Young People in Focus (YPF) which stopped its work in August 2011. Although the site is no longer being updated, it contains a wealth of information for people working with young fathers all derived from YPF’s research. See About this Microsite.
The site covers policy and practice. Use the menu on the top left to navigate the site. As well as the core text in each section there are real-life examples (case studies) that explain what different agencies have done which cover:
- Getting new projects/services started
- Reaching young fathers including school age fathers
- Research and consultation
- One-to-one work and group work with young fathers
- Mixed approaches – working with young fathers in a range of settings such as children’s centres, supported housing and via the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP)
- Staff support issues
- There are also sections on contacts and resources.
