BabyFather Initiative events
The BabyFather Initiative has recently completed the delivery of a series of training courses for parents, early years and learning (PEAL) professionals with support from the Department for Children, Schools and Families (formerly the DfES). Each course took place over three separate days in a number of venues around England and helped to increase practitioners' awareness of male engagement in service development, provision and delivery.
Train a Trainer
Over the past few years the work of the BabyFather Initiative has grown rapidly. This has led to the project needing to recruit more trainers. We are proud to annouce that with support from the Childrens Workforce Development Council we have successfuly recruited and trained twelve trainers who will be ready to begin delivering from January 2009.
