Description
Engaging with fathers & significant men is an important part of child protection and safeguarding practice. Men may be involved in families in a range of ways and may need support in the process of becoming effective parents. This course explores the historical context of fatherhood and considers learning from SCRs, research and evidence based practice when working with men, the blocks to engaging with and working with men and the risks of ‘hidden’ men. It also looks at a variety of skills and techniques for assessing their parenting roles and engaging and supporting them as fathers.
The aim of this course is to ensure adult males are considered in the engagement and assessment process within social work and social care services and to explore the role of the male carer. This course will enable staff to understand the barriers to working with difficult fathers, provide confidence, resilience and skills to address practice in order to work with fathers and other significant males
