About PEGS
PEGS is a social enterprise set up to support parents, carers and guardians who are experiencing Child to Parent Abuse (including those with adult offspring). We don’t directly work with the child displaying the behaviours but have a network of partners whose expertise lies in this area.
We train frontline professionals to recognise and effectively respond to CPA, and work with national and regional organisations to develop and implement policies.
Conference aims
The International Child to Parent Abuse Conference is aimed at bringing together researchers, policy-makers, decision-takers, frontline professionals and campaigners. It is the first time professionals from across the globe will gather together to share updates, policies, research and education, alongside the team at PEGS.
We’ll share current knowledge, best practice and case studies, and focus on how we can collaboratively work to better support parents, carers and guardians impacted by Child to Parent Abuse.
Why Attend?
A fantastic speaker line-up including representatives from:
The NHS, Refuge, the US Police Force, Family Lives.
Domestic abuse partnership leaders, top academics and criminologists, practitioners, policy makers and more.
Panels and policy updates from across the globe, Q&A, interactive sessions and much more throughout the day.
Change is coming down the line – the voices of parents experiencing CPA will be heard.
Will you be part of that change?
Will you help amplify those voices?

Child to Parent Abuse: The Facts
Child to Parent Abuse can be physical, verbal, emotional, financial or sexual. It impacts parents, carers, guardians and other parental figures. The behaviour can be displayed by a child of any age (including adult offspring).
- At least 3% of UK households are impacted by CPA.
- 67% of parents currently don’t feel they get adequate support from professionals.
- 70% of parents have been forced to leave work or reduce their hours as a result of the abuse they are experiencing.
- One parent dies every 19 days in England and Wales by parricide (killed by their child)
