Article here. Excerpt:

'With Netflix smash hit Adolescence highlighting the devastation that can be wrought by toxic masculinity, a school dads club has been showing what positive role models men can be.

Jessop Primary School Dads and Male Carers Club provides a space for men to connect, learn new skills, and spend quality time with their children.

It is celebrating its first anniversary having doubled attendance since opening - with an average of 57 dads, carers, and kids at each session.

According to the club it wants to counter the negative influence of harmful online content.

It was started by parents after the murder of Elianne Andam by teenager Hassan Sentamu in a row over a teddy.

Club founder Scott Leonard said: "Primary school is so informative for young people, where they shape much of their thinking and behaviour."

Just 14% of primary school teachers are male according to the Office for National Statistics.'
