This March, PEGS turns six!

PEGS began as a conversation rooted in lived experience and difficult conversations about Child to Parent Abuse that weren’t happening enough. Over time, that conversation grew into something bigger: a national organisation supporting parents and carers affected by CPA, advocating for change, and helping shape how CPA is understood and responded to across the UK.

But at its heart, PEGS has always been about people. About parents and carers whose experiences were often minimised, misunderstood or overlooked.

Over the past six years, we have listened carefully to parents’ stories - many shared at a time when they felt unheard or blamed. Those voices have shaped everything we do and will continue doing so. They’ve informed our work with professionals, our contribution to research, and our efforts to influence policy and practice around CPA.

We’ve worked alongside services, partners, and practitioners to improve recognition of CPA, while continuing to centre parents’ voices and hold space for the complexity that exists within families.

Again and again, what parents have shown us is how hidden Child to Parent Abuse can be. How long families can experience this form of abuse before being believed.

As we look ahead, our focus remains clear. We will continue to break the silence around CPA. We will keep pushing for better understanding and responses. We will keep working to support families earlier.  We will continue building safer spaces where parental figures feel heard.

To mark six years of PEGS, we’re inviting you to join us for a free online event this March!

During the event, we’ll:

• Look back on our journey over the past six years
• Share key learning and reflections from our work
• Talk about what’s next for PEGS and for the families we support
• Introduce members of the PEGS team and some of our lovely guests

This is a chance to reflect, connect, and to celebrate how far things have come together.

Whether you’re a parent, carer or guardian, a professional supporting families, someone who has attended our training or conferences in the past, part of an organisation we’ve worked alongside, or simply someone who wants to support our work around Child to Parent Abuse, you are very welcome.
