UK early years sector needs new strategy to recruit and support male staff, says study

(Lancaster University) GenderEYE (Gender Diversification in Early Years Education) -- a study by Lancaster University and the Fatherhood Institute - found that despite early years education's continuing status as Britain's least gender-diverse caring profession, the Government and most early years employers have done very little to recruit and retain male staff. The study reveals that less than a fifth (14%) of early years settings have pursued specific strategies aimed at recruiting men.
