More time for Dads
Children’s Secretary Ed Balls is calling on employers to make more time for fathers, so they can be more involved in their children’s lives.
It is part of his department’s ‘Think Fathers’ campaign which aims to encourage public services to recognise the role fathers can play in children’s lives.
Research suggests that if fathers are involved in their children’s lives at the age of seven, they will do better at school.
