OVERVIEW

This full day event will be split into three parts.

The morning will be lead by Evaluation Support Scotland, who's training was a particularly well received last year. They will provide a refresher of what we learnt last year and then build on the theory to develop evaluation which is useful to you and Cattanach.

In the afternoon we will be joined by 'Ask Dad' lead Mark Hunter from Fast Forward. The group will have a chance to discuss risk taking behaviour the effects on children and how to talk to dads about it.

To round up the day you will have a chance to reflect on any challenges that you face with your dads work and use the group to find solutions.
