Meet the PEGS team: Georgia

There's an incredible team behind all that goes on at PEGS, so we thought we'd introduce you to them via a series of blogs.

Name: Georgia

Job title: CPA Practitioner

How long have you worked for PEGS? 3 months

Which office are you based at? Shrewsbury

What’s your favourite thing about working for PEGS? Knowing that by me speaking to these parents/carers, I have helped someone/made someone smile when life isn't so good for them right now.

What does a typical day involve? Speaking with parents/carers on the phone or by video. Admin/documenting all of the information I have taken from that call or contacting new parents/carers. Running drop in sessions on our scheduled days and catching up/checking in with colleagues.

How do you think (or hope) your colleagues would describe you? Oh dear...helpful and there if needed.

When you were younger, what job did you want to do as grown up? Police Officer

A little bit about you: I live with my mum and dad. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with them, my sister and my boyfriend. I also enjoy going to the gym, long walks and seeing my friends.

Which book, film and album would you take to a desert island with you? Oooh, this is hard, I don't really read but I would take The Greatest Showman film. Again, I listen to all sorts of music so hard to answer that too.

Founding Director, Michelle, has been awarded an MBE in the Kings Birthday Honours for Family Support and Advocacy.

Child to Parent Abuse organisation founder awarded MBE The founder of a social enterprise which has supported thousands of parents impacted by abusive behaviours from their children has been awarded an MBE. Michelle John, originally from Pembrokeshire in Wales but now based in Shropshire, was among the names announced for the prestigious accolade in the King’s Birthday Honours List this year. In 2020, Michelle set up not-for-profit organisation PEGS with the aim of supporting parents and carers, training professionals, influencing local and national policy, and raising awareness of Child to Parent Abuse – which is thought to affect up to one in ten households in the UK. Since then, she has grown a team of experts who have trained police, social workers, teachers and many other professionals to better recognise the signs of CPA, support parents, and signpost to specialist organisations. In addition, Michelle set up a range of parent-focused initiatives including daily practitioner-led online sessions, a Facebook peer support group which now has 3,300 members, and one-to-one offerings for those at highest risk. PEGS launched a CPA Covenant for employers in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions, only the fourth such covenant to be backed by the Government, and Michelle has advised everyone from the Home Office to Channel 4 and the BBC on CPA – the latter for storyline on Hollyoaks and EastEnders. Her work has seen CPA covered by journalists across television news programmes, national newspapers and magazine, and regional press and radio, and she’s received numerous awards both in the UK and internationally. Michelle, whose MBE was awarded for Family Support and Advocacy, said: “This honour is also shared with the parents who have trusted me along the way: they drive me, inspire me and I will always stand with them. “I feel proud, privileged and very grateful – and I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me and PEGS along the way. There is much more to come for PEGS, and we will continue to work every day for the parents and carers who have been or continue to be impacted by CPA. “There is so much to reflect on from the journey of the last six years, and there have been many highlights and challenges along the way. I am sure there will be many more in the future – although being told I’d received an MBE will always remain a truly incredible moment that I’ll remember forever!” For more information about us, visit www.pegsupport.co.uk or search for 'PEGS' on social media!
