Further info
The programme is designed to increase men’s awareness and the application of child centred fathering. Dad’s will build awareness of, and responsibility for, abuse and neglectful fathering. We will support them in understanding the impact of domestic abuse and maltreatment of children and help them to rebuild trust and plan for the future.
