MITEY (Men in the Early Years)
MITEY is a national network and campaign which works to bring more men into the UK’s early years education workforce, and support them once they are part of it.
We offer resources, training and consultancy to support early years organisations to:
- establish an inclusive rationale for creating a mixed-gender workforce
- pursue effective approaches to widen their recruitment, and
- challenge gender-based stereotypes among staff, children and parents.
MITEY project lead Dr Jeremy Davies was Co-investigator on the ESRC-funded GenderEYE (Gender Diversification in Early Years Education) study, and wrote the GenderEYE Toolkit.
