Fathers Who Care: Partners in Parenting

Series of four reports, published by Office of the Commissioner for Children

The first report (Rae Julian: “Focus on Fathers”) provides information from focus groups and key informants on the roles and responsibilities of fathers (Executive Summary: here).

The second report (Rae Julian: “Fathering in the New Millenium”) involved a national survey of New Zealanders' attitudes to fatherhood and shared parenting.

The third report (John Brickell: “An Overview of Parenting Programmes for Fathers”) discussed support services for fathers.

The final report (Kerslake Hendricks:“Children’s Views on Fathering”) surveyed school aged children. A summary of the results of this project can be found at:
