Children and family relationships

Our final report on the Fatherhood commission is due this month. The report will focus on what children told us they valued about their relationships with their fathers.

Some interesting findings have emerged from our work that we hope will further everyone’s understanding of the significance of fathers’ contribution to family life.

A brief report on the initial findings from this research, Fatherhood Commission: Links between young people's relationships with their fathers and their mothers, and their well-being and self-esteem, is now available.
