PEGS Founder Michelle John said: “We want to encourage the next generation of Child to Parent Abuse experts, meaning that in the future affected parents and carers should have even more support when it comes to reaching out to professionals. So, it’s important to us that the conference is attended not only by those already working within relevant professions, but also the students who will be

doing so in years to come"

“That’s why we have made a limited number of tickets available for just £45 for the entire day – there are also four optional workshops that students can purchase a space at when they buy their ticket for the main event."

“We look forward to welcoming attendees, not only so they can learn from our fantastic experts, but also so they can share their ideas and knowledge with us – we know current learners will have innovative ways of looking at Child to Parent Abuse support and safeguarding, and we’re keen to hear from them!”
