It being Fathers' Day has guilt-tripped me into writing the first blog piece in quite a while. Shameful negligence on my part. What I've been meaning to write about for some time now was the excellent day I spent on 31 March in Manchester with a bunch of other people from social work and beyond who are researching work with fathers. Here's most of us as snapped and tweeted by Harry Ferguson https://twitter.com/Harr_Ferguson/status/583007313902075904. It was a great day, with evidence reviews on young offenders as fathers and interventions for separated fathers, great qualitative research on fathers and child protection, recruiting fathers to parenting programmes and fathers' experience of the Family Nurse Partnership. There was also a quantitative evaluation of Caring Dads. I know it's late to be writing about this event now, but please check out the presentations which are all available on the CASCADE website.
One other little plug. The research on the Family Link Islamic Values course for Muslim fathers, previously mentioned in this blog, is now published in Child: Care, Health and Development - open access paper here.
