Scottish parents share CPA experiences

PEGS parents shared their experiences for a BBC Scotland news piece
This week, two of the mothers we support in Scotland have bravely spoken out about the behaviours they are experiencing.
BBC journalist Katie Hunter
shared a piece on the news and published a website story detailing some of the abuse experienced by ‘Karen’ and ‘Linda’ – and has also highlighted that the Scottish police do not currently record information about the number of CPA incidents reported to them.
We’d like to thank Katie and BBC Scotland for highlighting CPA: the more we talk about this issue, the more we can support parents, carers and guardians who are in need.
