Involving Fathers
Undertaking a small project looking to identify some examples of best practice.
Has anyone examples of engaging fathers in family learning projects. Especially projects targeted at fathers.

The Just Play Project in Angus has done some work with fathers; don't have a lot of detail for you. The contact would be Lee Crosby - crosbyl@angus.gov.uk.
Hi Elaine
John Corrigan and Rhona Cameron have both been involved in ‘men & Kids’ projects in Perth & Kinross.
I will cc them into an email to you.

Hi Elaine.
You should speak to Fiona Robertson of Community Learning and Home School Partnership Service in South Lanarkshire.
She has been central in the development of PROFF (Promoting the Roles Of Father Figures) which achieved national recognition for the impact of their work by winning the Education Scotland ‘Parent’s as Partners Award 2016.
Fiona's email is Fiona.robertson@southlanarkshire.gov.uk
hi Elaine
Colleagues and I have been running a Saturday group called Dads and Bairns here in Dundee. We have run 2 blocks of 6 weeks in 2 different areas of Dundee and this has involved free play, outdoor play, a craft, story time and a wee bit of singing and more. Also provided tea and toast. We have so far engaged with 14 dads. Please get in touch anytime if you'd like more info
best regards
Catriona
Hi Elaine
