Our go-to zone for advice on supporting dads throughout this pandemic
This idea has originated during the pandemic as a way of continuing to support dads and their children when face-to-face gatherings are restricted, but it could also be used in unrestricted times:
- to provide more in-depth support to a smaller group of dads from within an existing WLTDO? group.
- where there is no suitable venue for a WLTDO? group to meet in.
- when the number of dads you are likely to engage with is small (e.g. in a rural setting).
- for dads who do not feel comfortable in large groups.

Who Locked The Dads In? congresses – the best bits
In 2020 and 2021 we held congresses for Who Let The Dads Out group leaders and teams. These events provided encouragement to teams as they sought to support families during the pandemic. They also inspired those considering setting up a group for the first time.
