Public bodies across Scotland have a legal responsibility to actively promote gender equality. Engaging positively with fathers and men as carers is an important aspect of this duty for all types of child and family service. In 2009, Children in Scotland carried out a survey of the Gender Equality Duty activities and priorities of local authorities and NHS boards across Scotland. These one-day practice sharing events will examine the key findings of this survey and explore practical solutions to the challenges of achieving gender equality in services for children and families. The events will look at approaches used across a wide range of services, including early years, education, health and parent support.
