NSCP Hidden Men Level 3

Recent research has identified that too often, even if unwittingly, services enable men to be absent and do not maximise opportunities to identify and respond to the vulnerabilities and risks that some men can present. You will need to be able to attend both the morning & afternoon session if you book onto this course. The course aims to look at both national & local issues relating to engaging with men, specifically looking at issues from practice, blocks and difficulties and practical skills development. This event is for all practitioners who work directly with children and families .

Aims:

To facilitate discussion and address concerns about engaging with men in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
To consider lessons from practice and research relating to ‘hidden’ men
To acknowledge values and context around issues of gender and fatherhood
To consider the significance of men’s roles in safeguarding children
To develop practical ways of effectively engaging with men

Target Audience:

For all practitioners who work directly with children and families.
