Fatherhood

icon - fatherhood large

Are dads redundant? Have fathers' roles changed? How do dads impact children? Fathers' part in IVF? The link between fatherhood and street gangs? On it goes. . . fatherhood is in the news!

Why? It’s changing. Mothers work more, dads care more, everyone realises the impact fathers have on their kids. It’s re-think time. . .

We pick up the issues, look at what being a dad means for us – the news, the research, the organisations - and the day to day.

It’s sponsored by our “brother” organisation the Fatherhood Institute: You can join them as an Associate.

Big Fatherhood Debate

Britain’s dads are more actively involved in their children’s lives than ever before. And we know fathers matter hugely to their children. But there’s lots we do not know about today’s fathers, and many different points of view about fatherhood.

 

How dads affect kids

Dad and daughterFathers are fundamentally important to their children. Good or bad, living in the family home or separated from them, alive or dead, it doesn't matter - dads still have a huge influence on their kids' development. Dad Info looks at the research.

Dads through the ages: a history

Fatherhood changes with the times, and wasn’t always as we’ve believed it to be. Adrienne Burgess shows how fatherhood was shaped through culture and economics (mainly in Northern Europe) and how it continues to shape YOU as a father. And we ask: “how new is ‘new’ dad?” . . .
