Are you working with families where children or young people display harmful behaviours towards their parents or carers? This CPD-accredited training explores child-to-parent abuse (CPA) through a strength-based, solution-focused lens—offering practical tools to support safe, constructive conversations and long-term change.

Led by experienced practitioners from Family Based Solutions, this session is grounded in real-world practice and trauma-informed principles. You’ll gain insight into the complex dynamics of CPA, learn how to engage families without blame, and develop confidence in using approaches that build on existing strengths and future possibilities.

  • What child-to-parent abuse is—and what it isn’t
  • How to spot warning signs and risk indicators
  • Practical strength-based tools for engaging families
  • Solution-focused questions that shift the narrative from blame to possibility

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have experience with child-to-parent abuse cases?

No prior experience is required. Whether you're new to CPA or looking to deepen your understanding, this training will offer fresh insights and practical tools for your work.

What is a strength-based approach?

A strength-based approach focuses on what’s working, rather than what’s ‘wrong’. It helps families and professionals identify resources, abilities, and past successes to create meaningful, sustainable change.

How is this training different from others on domestic abuse?

While most domestic abuse training focuses on partner violence or risk management, this session specifically explores the often-overlooked issue of CPA—providing a solution-focused, non-blaming model that promotes engagement and positive outcomes.

Will I receive CPD certification?

Yes, attendees will receive a CPD certificate of attendance, which can be used as evidence of professional development.

Will I receive any resources after the session?

Yes, participants will receive access to key slides, a resource pack, and practical tools to support ongoing work with families.

Can this training be commissioned for teams or organisations?

Absolutely. We offer bespoke training packages for teams across education, social care, and statutory services. Please contact us at ayse@familybasedsolutions.org.uk for more information.
