Recognising Fathers: a chance for fathers to be heard!

The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities is keen to hear 
about the experiences of fathers who have a child with a learning 
disability.

We are asking fathers to complete a questionnaire so that we can learn 
about the impact it has had on their lives, for example, their 
involvement in child care, changes they have made to their employment 
and the ways in which support services and schools interact with them as 
parents.

Are you able to help us to get publicity to fathers about the 
questionnaire? We can send you flyers about the survey to distribute or 
we can send printed copies of the questionnaire with a pre-paid envelope 
that can be given to fathers.

Fathers have the choice to complete the questionnaire on-line or by 
hand. Further information and access to the questionnaire is available 
at www.learningdisabilities.org.uk 

This survey is part of the Recognising Fathers project. This is a 
project being run by the Foundation for People with Learning 
Disabilities. Information about what we have learnt so far is available 
at www.learningdisabilities.org.uk . We are using what we are 
learning to think about how fathers and families as a whole could 
receive better support through changes in policy and practice.

We are very keen to reach fathers in different parts of the UK and with 
a wide variety of experiences- please help us in the area where you work.
