As part of my current research I have devised a very brief anonymous survey for parents, to assess current attitudes regarding men working in early years. So far I have had nearly 500 responses. I would be very grateful if anyone feels able to promote this to the parents of children attending your settings? Suggested invitation – We are asking as many parents as possible to participate in a brief (9 question) survey about men working in Early Years as part of a research project which will be used to inform national policy. You may be aware that less than 2% of the Early Years workforce in England is currently male. This issue is currently being considere…

Any thoughts on the cooperative childcare campaign, they are aiming to increase the percentage of men and awareness of their benefits in early years settings.

Well did you see this news item yesterday 'A million children growing up without fathers' I found this bit staggering; 'Men deserts' There are 236 pockets of towns in England and Wales where more than 50% of households with dependent children are headed by a lone mother. And an area in the Manor Castle ward of Sheffield tops the lone parent league table - among households with dependent children, 75% are headed by a lone parent. CSJ director Christian Guy says: "For children growing up in some of the poorest parts of the country, men are rarely encountered in the home or in the classroom. This is an ignored form of deprivation that can have profoundly damag…
