Calling all dads: Channel 4 wants to give you the ultimate childcare challenge
- Are you up for the Channel 4 challenge?
Channel 4 is making a new documentary series which aims to show how important men are in children’s upbringing. It will explore why so few men choose to work in nurseries and look at men who want to be better fathers themselves, but have no idea about what it takes.
Currently, only 2% of people working in childcare are men. Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, made a keynote speech in June 2010, in which he highlighted this issue.
The Channel 4 series hopes to empower a nation of men to spend more time with their own kids and even inspire some to consider the childcare profession.
The idea of the show is to select four men who live in or close to LONDON to work in a rea-life nursery for three weeks, under the careful supervision of the nursery staff. The men will be carefully selected and undergo extensive checks.
