“FCS provides advocacy, mediation, awareness support and one to one support to fathers who are in the process of separating or have been separated from their child or children, as well as undertake appropriate assessments as deemed necessary. This includes practical support, advice and information and guidance to fathers with regards to their child or children’s shared parenting arrangements to agree a plan of action.
Our aim is to help fathers have a better understanding of processes, options available to enable them to make the right decisions necessary so they become more involved in their children’s life. This is through one-to-one, life skills, mediation, advocacy and signposting to the relevant service providers that would increase father participation”.
