Hi

I am currently undertaking a PGCE in EY. I am doing a research dissertation on men in the ealy years education, however, I'm not really sure where to take this.

Can anyone help?

The barriers men face when wanting to work in EY?

Parents attitiude to men working with young children?

The attitude of other (mostly female) staff?

What support/networking opportunities are there for men in EY?

You could look at a specific field, for example childminders or Children's Centres and concentrate your study there?

Hope this helps. I would suggest you narrow your focus or it could become a bit unwieldy. Best of luck!

Is this a UK specific problem?-compare with the rest of the world, Demnark has a early years workforce of 20% males, compared with 1 or 2% elsewhere- analyse why?

Is it pay, status, culture, stereotyping by schools , aversion to male carers?

Hi, I did a similar essay last year.

Not sure where you're based but I found MiPEC based in Surrey useful, if you google it should come up for you. You could contact them.

Good luck!
