Dads Direct is a group which aims to promote the value of actively engaged fathers in their children’s lives. It is comprised of representatives from Child Contact Centres, Family Mediation NI, Home-Start, Men’s Health Forum in Ireland, Parenting NI, Relate and Sure Starts. Dads Direct is conducting a short survey which seeks the views of policy makers, service providers, family work practitioners and dedicated father-workers.
The aim of this survey is to identify and collate information which can be used to inform and influence how fathers are supported in our society. We hope that you will consider spending a few minutes completing this questionnaire. The findings will help to provide evidence of need, as well as address gaps in policy, practice, training and research.
This survey builds upon
‘The Dad Factor in NI: How Fathers Improve Child Outcomes’ briefing paper which was launched by Dads Direct in September 2015. This resource was funded by a grant from The Big Lottery’s ‘Awards for All’ programme.
The survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and you will remain completely anonymous throughout it.
Thank you for your support!
