Safeguarding - Child to Parent Abuse
Research from the University of Brighton, puts potential prevalence at 1 in every 10 families experiencing some form of parent abuse.
Child-to-parent-abuse (CPA_ or adolescent-to-parent abuse (APA) is any behaviour used by a child or young person to control, dominate or coerce parents, and is more common than you might imagine. It can include emotional, verbal, physical or financial abuse and includes “coercive control”, or in other words, the parent or other adult is compelled to change their own behaviours for fear of further abuse.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of this please contact your child's Designated Safegurding Lead or see the useful links section below.
