SEND Family Guidance

Supporting families to secure the right provision for their children — from EHCP reviews to mediation, appeals and tribunal representation.

How can I help?

Vikki Venables - Business Owner & SEND Consultant

GIving the support for what your child deserves

I decided to take the plunge and set this business up after feeling so lonely navigating the EHCP process for my boys. As a working mum, I had little time for the endless emails, phone calls, appointments and headspace that comes with raising children with SEN.
My background is in Children’s Nursing within the NHS in the SEN speciality, and I remain registered with the NMC. I am now studying Sensory Integration at Master’s level and, once qualified, will be able to support children and families directly through this specialist approach.
I set up this business to stand side by side with parents, helping them navigate the system and fight for the provision their children deserve, including through mediation, appeals and tribunals — offering the support I once desperately needed myself.

What does everyone Say?

Vikki's wealth of knowledge combined with her kindness made a very difficult and confusing situation so much easier to navigate. She went above and beyond to support us through mediation and always checked in personally to see how WE were. A fantastic service.

I found Vikki through Facebook and am so glad I did. After our first consultation, I felt understood and supported. Vikki helped me raise concerns at a school meeting and used her expertise to put crucial support in place for my son that he wouldn’t have received otherwise. She’s a comforting, reassuring person, and I highly recommend her services.

I used Northants SEND Family Services for an EHCP application, and speaking to Vikki was a breath of fresh air. After feeling overlooked, Vikki explained each step with expert advice and genuine understanding. She supported us through the challenging process, and I couldn’t have done it without her. I’m so grateful for her help in achieving the EHCP.

Vikki is so lovely. She totally understood what my daughter is like and let her talk at her own pace. I'm so glad she came round to see us today and can't wait to see the help she is going to give us in the future

Vikki is amazing at what she does. For any parent that feels they've exhausted all avenues that seem to be available, but having spoken to Vikki, I now know theirs so much more information and help available.
