Lockdown Dads

James Millar and Ian Dinwiddy are recording a weekly ‘show’ exploring the impact of lockdown, self isolation and social distancing on working dads. We’ll share tips, thoughts and stories with special guests, discuss our hopes for the future and the opportunities that all this represents, especially for dads who want to be more active and involved fathers but who until now have struggled with the expectations of what it means to be a man in the workplace.:https://www.inspiringdads.co.uk/lockdown-dads

Lockdown Dads

John Adams - #1 Dad Blogger

May 10, 2020 • James Millar & Ian Dinwiddy • Season 1 • Episode 2

In Episode 2, James and Ian are joined by #1 Dad Blogger and LinkedIn "Changemaker", John Adams.

We discuss the Covid 19 opportunity to embed flexible working, the potential pressures on families when workplaces open but schools and childcare don't and legal and moral challenges facing employers of trying to return "to normal."

Discover why it's important to keep "your hand in" even if your furloughed and the benefits of involving the whole family in chores, all that, plus we talk about the community aspect of football and whether we will remember this as the year of the home haircut or the cherry bakewell digestive!
