Sociology and Community Development Short Answer Assessment. Task 2
 Please include a Bibliography/ Reference List at the end of your assessment
task for references used.
 It is expected that you will give well constructed responses to each section of
this document and follow the instructions for each question.
 Make sure you write in complete sentences and provide at least 2-3 sentences
(but no more than 150 words) for EACH answer.
 Using the scenario below, answer the questions underneath.
SCENARIO:
You work for a community-based childcare centre that offers funded emergency and occasional care places for
families in need. They have recently become aware of a growing number of fathers who are hanging around
the centre after dropping their children off but look uncomfortable with the process or approaching staff.
Centre management thinks that it would be a good idea to trial a program to give some support to these dads
(like a drop-in area, playgroup, outreach activity or parenting support program). How would you go about
finding out what these service users might want and then engaging with them and the local community?
A. Do some research on this new community for your program (male carers of young children). Think about
2 ways that you could consult and engage with this group of clients to see what they might want in a service
or what would encourage them to use such a program?
Activity 1:
It is important for male workers in our community-based childcare centre to interact and build a rapport
with the male carers of children. There is a possibility that young fathers are facing problems in being
confident and maintain their health. Therefore, it is important to ensure their engagement through male
workers as they might look more approachable to the male carers of children rather than females.
Activity 2:
Certain activities should be planned that will ensure proper engagement of fathers with the helping staff. A
father's participation in nurturing and taking care of the kids helps create a bond between them and
contribute to their overall well being (Davison & et. al., 2019). Activities such as father-child race, house
building, singing and dancing competition etc. can be incorporated to increase the interaction between
parents and employees at healthcare centre.
