This event was designed for the family and children’s workforce and supports the SSBC Father Inclusive Strategy.

Over the last eight years, SSBC has been working with fathers/male caregivers and partners with the ambition to create systemic change to service delivery to ensure...’ Fathers in Nottingham City feel supported in their parenting role.’


The event brought together colleagues, researchers and partner agencies who advocate for Father Inclusivity. Speakers shared their research and experience on what it means to be a father today and how as a city we can work collaboratively to break systemic impediments to fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives.
