Child to Parent Abuse: The Facts

Child to Parent Abuse can be physical, verbal, emotional, financial or sexual. It impacts parents, carers, guardians and other parental figures. The behaviour can be displayed by a child of any age (including adult offspring).

At least 3% of UK households are impacted by CPA.
67% of parents currently don’t feel they get adequate support from professionals.
70% of parents have been forced to leave work or reduce their hours as a result of the abuse they are experiencing.
One parent dies every 19 days in England and Wales by parricide (killed by their child)
