"Get the dads involved"

The government wants schools to do more to support fathers.
Children's minister Beverley Hughes wants fathers to be more involved with their children's health and education, and for people working with children to think about how they can help them get involved.
The government points to evidence that children who grow up with strong father figures are less likely to get into crime, take drugs, have mental health problems or experience difficulties forming relationships.
Hughes called for a campaign to get the message across “that parental responsibilities should be shared equally among parents”.
