The new LSC Family Learning guidance provides a new focus on engaging fathers and male carers in family learning, but how do we create a new offer that will get men through the door to learn with their children? This conference will identify successful strategies and bring together a range of imaginative projects and examples of effective practice to help family learning providers develop theor own work with fathers and make sure that dads really are in the picture. To register your interest in this conference please email jking@cflearning.org.uk
