Working with Fathers is a one day event as the centre piece event at Fathers Direct’s second major policy and practice conference.
The conference will take place at the Institute of Education on Tuesday 5th April 2005 with an expected attendance of 1000 delegates.
This Forum is an exciting mix of entertainment, research and practice and will be chaired by Errol John, New Opportunities Manager Barnardo’s and co founder of The Babyfather Alliance. The scene will be set by the outstanding academic, theologian and film-maker Dr.Robert Beckford. He will talk about the contemporary 'babyfather' phenomenon within the context of black family patterns in West Africa, the Caribbean, and the UK. (“From West Africa to West London�).
Celebrity author/musician Patrick Augustus will then talk about his books and hit TV series ‘Babyfather’.
Distinguished psychologist Dr Jeune Guishard-Pine will look ‘beyond father absence’ at father residence, father-child closeness and fathering behaviours in black families and Barrington Reeves, who contributed to the recent BBC Radio 4 series ‘Raising Ham’, will speak of his experiences growing up as a young, black father in contemporary Britain.
Following the conference, the ‘Fathers of Reggae’ concert will feature The Godfather of Reggae Mr. Alton Ellis. There are few Jamaican singers left who are as loved and revered as Alton Ellis.
The night will promise many other PA’s and Surprise guests. This will truly be a night to remember!
The event is also a tribute to the Founding Father of Barnardo’s, Dr Thomas Barnardo whose vision of giving children a better start in life lives on through the work of the organisation today as they celebrate the centenary of his death.
Why not join in the celebration of Fatherhood on 5th April 2005. Concert starts 7.45 pm at The Bloomsbury Theatre, 15 Gordon Street, Russell Square, London, WC1H OAH.
Robert Beckford is, sad to say, a right xxxxxxx. Whats with the "Gospel Started in Scotland" schitck?Is he that desperate for a TV commission. Talk about selling one's grandmother (or culture) for piecessilver. Cant really take seriously any program with that man's involvement.
