A Study on Recruiting and Supporting Men in Early Years Education, 2018-2020

As part of the GenderEYE Study on recruiting and supporting men in early years education at Lancaster University and the Fatherhood Institute, researchers conducted interviews with a number of key figures within the early years world. These included members of EYs advocacy groups/organisations, EYs consultants, teacher trainers, local government bodies, careers advisers and employment services. The aim of the data collection was to find out why there are so few men working in early years; how to attract more men into this sector, and the best ways to support those men that choose to become EY practitioners.
