2016 is the Year of the Dad and its all about the difference a great dad can make to childrens well-being, confidence and educational attainment. Children, families and society as a whole benefit from the positive involvement of fathers, but many fathers, especially disadvantaged young fathers, willing to be positively involved in the lives of their children, are routinely denied that possibility. Being a Dad reflects the lived experience, hopes, fears and challenges faced by many young dads in Scotland today. Challenges that are and can be overcome with courage, knowledge and support.
