Our Founding Director has been asked to lead a workshop at an upcoming Safeguarding Conference.

Michelle John will be taking part in The East Riding Voluntary Action Services’ (ERVAS) Safeguarding Conference on Thursday 6^th July near Hull. The event will be attended by VCSE groups and organisations within the East Riding and surrounding areas.

She will be leading a workshop at 2.15pm and will be on hand through the day to talk to attendees about Child to Parent Abuse – which impacts at least 3% of UK households.

ERVAS is a charity which supports a network of voluntary organisations across the area to help strengthen delivery and build resilience within communities. Other workshops taking place at their conference – which is free to attend – are focused around topics including abuse of older adults, cyber crime and fraud prevention, and modern day slavery.

Michelle said: “Thank you to the organising team for inviting us to attend the day and for the opportunity to speak to those coming along about this important, but often hidden, form of domestic abuse.

“We know ERVAS has a fantastic network of voluntary groups and charities across East Riding, so it’s great to be able to support them to become more aware of Child to Parent Abuse and how it may impact the people their organisations represent and assist.

“Part of our work at PEGS is focused on supporting all organisations to become more aware of CPA and, where appropriate, to have policies and practices in place for not only their service users but also their own staff and volunteers.”
