Silver in the pool, gold on land. Being a hands-on dad is the most important job any father will have. Well done @adam_peaty! #Olympics2024Paris

We need more investment in victim support, but also in evidence-based #domesticabuse perpetrator programmes, to tackle the rise in violence against women and girls, highlighted by the @PoliceChiefs new report. We know of at least one English LA that refuses to even engage with perpetrator fathers; others have no access to programmes to deal with them. There’s clear evidence about the negative impacts for children of experiencing and/or witnessing domestic abuse – and the motivational potential of therapeutic, trauma-informed interventions that address men’s fatherhood head-on. We’re working with @FoundationsWW @B_I_Team @stmfellows to bring a well-evidenced, therapeutic programme, Fathers for Change, to the UK. But there's so much more work to do, to plug this national gap in services.

Georgie Codd's book 'Never Had a Dad', published by @HarperCollinsUK, is an unexpected story of the strange, intimate things we mean when we talk about family. Our interview, together with a whole host of other inspiring fatherhood content, is available exclusively to our supporters. By becoming an FI supporter, you help us drive forward our policy work, which is crucial for disseminating our research, raising awareness, and gathering public momentum to provoke political change.

Eleven of the 14 men in Keir Starmer's Cabinet are fathers, and some have gone ‘on the record’ to show they understand the pressures today’s dads face. What might this mean for UK fathers? Read our new blog 👇

@Mr_PaintPots @JamelCarly @LauraHAllain @RichardWaite2 @LEYFonline @WorldForumECE @PatrickMakokoro Hi all, we're still here and still committed to the agenda but as David says, zero funding so very limited in what we can do. Always open to ideas and opportunities ;)

The current PM, @RishiSunak, said the hardest thing about the job was missing out on family life. @Keir_Starmer has said he wants to protect one evening a week to be an involved #father. This should not be controversial - it's what all men should be doing!

"Great for children, for mums, for employers, and of course, for dads." Our Deputy CEO Dr Jeremy Davies was a guest on @JeremyVineOn5 last week - arguing for #6weeksfordads #paternityleave in the UK. 👉 Watch the discussion: What do you think? 👇

'If couples have egalitarian gender beliefs, the father’s communication skills are good, he likes to play and is a sensitive responder, he’s setting his children up for the most positive outcomes'. Our head of research Adrienne Burgess spoke to @Telegraph
