Barnardo’s has published a report, commissioned by the Family Strategic Partnership, about support for young fathers. Identified needs include: legal advice on contact with their child; relationship support; and parenting advice tailored to a male audience. Recommendations include: every local authority should appoint a lead professional for young fathers and relationship support should help young fathers maintain contact with the mother and their child. |
