Last month some of the team headed to Central London to host our Child to Parent Abuse Covenant (CPAC) conference. The event saw delegates attend from across the UK, with key note speeches, a panel discussion, and even virtual input from an organisation in America too. It’s fair to say the team excelled themselves and delivered an interactive, informative and engaging event on Child to Parent Abuse (CPA) and the impact on employment.

The Child to Parent Abuse Covenant was launched in October 2021 due to our then survey, revealing that 70% of those PEGS supported had to significantly reduce or leave employment altogether due to the behaviours they were experiencing from their child. PEGS approached the Department for Work and pensions (DWP ) to highlight the barriers employees and employers were facing when experiencing Child to Parent Abuse. With Tony’s and Ahmed’s, National Partnership team support and encouragement, the Child to Parent Abuse Covenant was created and became the 4th DWP backed employer covenant available free of charge to any UK employer.

PEGS would like to extend our thanks to Rax, Local events manager at Halifax Flagship branch in New Oxford Street, London, who  allowed us to use their incredible venue for the conference. The onsite social enterprise Change please, supplied all the beverages for us, which was a brilliant opportunity for PEGS to be able to support another social enterprise.
