Channel 5 investigate CPA

Last night, Channel 5 aired a special report into Child to Parent Abuse...

As well as sharing some of the figures from the PEGS 2021 Parental Survey, the report features the research commissioned by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner, and information about the number of incidents reported to the police.

You may also recognise a familiar face, as our Founding Director Michelle was interviewed as part of the piece.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to reporter Tessa, and producers Katie and Christina, for their hard work, sensitivity and dedication to putting this report together. It's done such a lot to raise the profile of CPA, and the impact on parents.

Celebrating 5 Years of PEGS: A Milestone Moment

By PEGS Admin • April 22, 2025

On 21st March, we marked a special occasion, PEGS turned five! Reaching this milestone is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating the journey, the impact, and the incredible people who’ve been part of it all. To mark the occasion, we held a celebration in our office , not just to recognise five years of PEGS, but to reflect on the meaningful work that’s been achieved during that time. There was plenty of coffee, cake, and conversation, but most importantly, we shared heartfelt messages from parents about how PEGS and our team have made a difference in their lives. March was a busy month for PEGS. We’ve seen a huge increase in awareness, more media coverage, and a rapidly growing demand for our free services and workshops. We’ve now supported over 10,000 referrals , a number that speaks volumes about the need for continued awareness and action around Child to Parent Abuse (CPA). Without forgetting that during April 1st - April 9th we had over an 112% increase, which is over 220 referrals processed in 9 days. We’re incredibly honoured to have the ongoing support of the amazing organisations and individuals who’ve stood by us from the very beginning. Your partnership, encouragement, and belief in what we do has helped us grow from a small organisation into a nationally recognised voice for parental figures affected by CPA. Throughout the week, we shared some of the wonderful celebratory messages we received across our social channels, and we can’t thank you enough for your kind words and continued encouragement. As we look ahead to the future, our mission remains the same: supporting parental figures, raising awareness of CPA, and driving change in regional and national policies. From day one, that’s been our focus and none of it would have been possible without your support, your listening ears, and your shared understanding of why this work matters. From all of us at PEGS, thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next five years and beyond (purple heart)
