Absolutely delighted at the overwhelming interest in this event that REd Harbour produced for Policy Hub Scotland. A subject close to my heart and one that needs to be addressed. The event took place on Wednesday 7th February in Glasgow.
The event had a waiting list proving the importance of this subject. We can not blame our boys. We need to 'invite, not indict' them as Graham Goulden, Cultivating Mind UK pointed out.
The other speakers, all experts in their fields were Martin Daubney, Award-winning Editor, Journalist, Broadcaster and Co-founder of The Men & Boys Coalition; Ali McClure, Author, Teacher Trainer and Consultant, Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator and Training Director for NEYTCO (National Early Years Trainers and Consultants); Laura Sharpe, See Me; Daljeet Dagon, Barnardo’s; Dr Martin Robb, The Open University; Douglas Guest, Scotland for Mankind project and David Devenney, Fathers Network Scotland as Chair of the event #supportingboys
There is a hunger for more information sharing on this subject and providing support for our boys. I would certainly like to be involved in any future discussions on this topic.
