Caring Dads courses

The Caring Dads programme has been running as face to face since December based on restricted numbers due to social distancing requirements. Hopefully this will gradually ease over coming months.

The present plan with provisional start dates for Caring Dads courses for the rest of the financial year is:

  • Broxbourne – July 21
  • St Albans – September 21
  • Watford – January 22

Please note this may change depending on the spread of referrals received so please send in your referrals promptly. 

We have been fortunate with the venues for our last two courses but would very much appreciate ideas for suitable places in the Broxbourne and St Albans areas. The venues must be close to night time buses and trains, but also have on site / nearby free / low cost car parking. Also it is not suitable to run Caring Dads alongside potentially vulnerable groups including women and children. 

Please do start sending in your referrals for the above courses on this referral form - fully completed including name of referrer, contact details, date of referral, and course required.

We are also taking referrals for Dedicated Dads - the 6 x 1 hour virtual 1:1 course. This is not a replacement for Caring Dads but, for some dads, is the only way they can engage.

The office hours are normally 2 days per week - Monday and Tuesday and we can be contacted on 01727 854727 on those days if you wish to discuss the Caring Dads programme further or suitability of possible referrals. Please also do not hesitate to contact us on caringdads@hacro.org.uk and please share this information with your teams and networks.
