Dads Space 1-2-1 Demo

Here is the Dads Space 1-2-1 demonstration video:



The 1-2-1 Space is an online "connection space" that allows children to safely and securely interact with their parents and relatives. It is a moderated and secure space that allows the sharing of messages and photos as well as containing many games that can be played together remotely. It is specifically designed for families where face to face contact between parent/relative and child is limited or difficult.

This could be for a wide variety of reasons including family break up, geographical reasons, anti-social or long working hours or remote working. Or parents might simply wish to have a secure online space where they can interact with their child on a one to one basis.

The 1-2-1 Space is interested in hearing from organisations or employers who are interested in referring families to this free service. Please contact editor@dads-space.com for more details.

Dads Space Interveiw

On Monday morning our Dads Space film crew went on a shoot to interview two fathers, in preparation for the release of next months Dads Space issue; ‘Teenage Fathers’. Both Jude Edgington and David Mullings had their first children when they were only 18, since then both have become successful in their chosen fields.

Jude (a celebrity photographer) is in the process of organising and shooting work for an exhibition documenting teenage fathers, (read the full feature online in October). David is a Fathers Worker, using his personal experiences to help and support fathers reach their full potential as parents.

Keep yours eyes open for photos and some very interesting and insightful discussions between both of these inspiring fathers, in the meantime why not check out the Dads Space Youtube channel for interviews with celebrity fathers, and insights from experienced fathers from around England.
