Safeguarding Adults Week

15th to 17th November is Safeguarding Adults Week 2021

It's all about highlighting safeguarding issues and raising awareness of best practice, enabling organisations and individuals to gain confidence when it comes to recognise signs and reporting safeguarding concerns.

The week is brought together by the Ann Craft Trust - a leading authority in safeguarding adults and young people at risk; this year their theme is 'creating safer cultures'.

That means:

Minimising the chance of harm happening
Ensuring the correct policies and procedures are in place
Recognising and responding to safeguarding issues effectively and appropriately

There's lots of information on their website about what's going on during the week and how you can get involved. And you can also use the #SafeguardingAdultsWeek on social media.

Naturally, at PEGS we are in total support of raising awareness around safeguarding - especially as lots of our parents might not fall into traditional 'at risk' categories but they are in fact at risk because of the abuse they are receiving from their child.

We're also keen for organisations to learn as much as possible, which is why we've created our CPA training courses - and why we launched our Child to Parent Abuse Covenant, backed by the DWP, which asks employers to think about their policies and practices when it comes to staff and service users who are experiencing CPA.

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)
