Contact With Your Children

Please note this is not legal advice only a suggested helpful process if you have Parental Responsibility for your child (this mainly means you are on the child’s birth certificate). Contact is still possible if you are not on the child’s birth certificate, please ask for more details. An Outreach Worker from Families First Southampton can support you at any stage of this process. Also see: www.gov.uk/parental-rights-responsibilities/what-is-parental-responsibility

Father Friendly Groups

These are groups that Families First have partnered with and we have visited. We have seen the play and stay, toddler group set up which from what fathers have told us they feel comfortable taking their children (mainly 0 to 5’s). This includes a friendly welcome, a large space and generally there are dads attending but cannot be guaranteed. These groups are aware of our work supporting fathers.
