The Men in the Early Years conference, taking place on 18 July 2017 at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, will feature prominent speakers who all share an interest in the vital role men play in the early years sector and the importance of engaging fathers in their child’s development.

Speakers at the conference will include Dr. Anette Hellman, Senior Lecturer in Early Education at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Yuwei Xu, Lecturer in Children and Family Studies at Portsmouth University. Jonathan Douglas, Director of the National Literacy Trust, will be chairing the conference.
