| HTML | Engaging fathers in child and family services: participation, perceptions and good practice |
09 December 2008This occasional paper describes father participation in selected Stronger Families and Communities Strategy (SFCS) programs and services and identifies successful strategies for engaging with fathers.
The paper provides the context for a discussion of how well fathers are included in child and family services, and their engagement in programs specifically designed to enhance parenting competencies and relationships. The research employed a mixed methodology: a survey of SFCS program managers on father engagement and in-depth fieldwork with a sample of selected services and programs. Service managers and facilitators participated in one-on-one interviews, and focus groups were held with father participants.
