Abstract

Parent peer advocacy is an inclusive practice whereby parents with lived experience of child protection (CP) services provide support to parents with active CP involvement. Support provided by advocates is typically characterized in general terms such as social, emotional, and practical support, which contributes to an insufficient understanding of the types and range of supports provided, or how advocates’ lived experience facilitates these supports. This scoping review addresses this gap by reviewing the evidence base on peer support in parent advocacy programs to provide a comprehensive and evidence-informed conceptualisation of multidimensional peer support important for promoting positive experiential and case outcomes.
