Caring Dads course participants have had allegations of domestic abuse made against them. Many have had contact with their children restricted or denied by their former partner, Children's Services or the Family Courts. Caring Dads is a 17 week Cognitive Behavioural Therapy parenting programme which focuses on developing the father’s relationship with the child and mother to reduce impact on both, beginning the process of healing. It is also to encourage child centred parenting, reduce conflict in family life and enable men to become better fathers. The programme challenges denial and minimisation and uses intervention strategies adapted from motivational interviewing, psycho-educational, cognitive-behavioural and emotion-focused approaches. Referrals are mainly received from social workers with some coming via the family courts and CAFCASS (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) . CAFCASS is unable to Commission Caring Dads courses as HACRO is too small an organisation to be registered with the Ministry of Justice. In previous years HCC's Targeted Parenting Fund has supported two courses/year. HCC are in the process of a new commissioning round and in the interim have agreed one course for the summer of 2018/19. However HACRO receive enough referrals for six courses across the county per year. Caring Dads facilitators are highly skilled, specially trained Offender managers and social workers who work on a sessional basis. This application is to cover the cost of one course.
