E-book Father-inclusive Practice Guide : A Tool to Support the Inclusion of Fathers in a Holistic Approach to Service Delivery
It is becoming more apparent that the role of fathers in families is changing. Fathers, whether they are the primary caregiver, separated from the family, step-fathers or grandfathers are increasingly playing a greater role and becoming more active in their children’s lives. However many fathers are still reluctant to approach or utilise services because of the many and varied accessibility issues and barriers they face. As a result, organisations need to be proactive in their efforts to engage fathers, reassess the way they plan, develop and deliver their programs, and address accessibility issues to align themselves with the increased need to provide services that meet and are responsive to the needs of fathers. By including fathers in organisational activities, services, resources or programs the organisation becomes more equitable by not only appealing to the needs of mothers and children, but also being equally accessible to fathers. In turn this will result in more enriched and effective programs, with higher client participation and appreciation.
