When parents separate, conflict often follows. Children are caught in the middle, unsure where they belong, and needing peace. Separation doesn’t have to mean hostility. With the right support, families can find a way forward; one that puts children first.

One Herefordshire father found himself in a constant battle with his ex-partner. Their son, just seven, was anxious and confused. Handover days were filled with shouting. Birthdays were battlegrounds. Christmas was a logistical nightmare. Then Vennture stepped in.

Through structured co-parenting sessions delivered by trained Link Workers, both parents were supported to create a safety plan for their son. They learned how to communicate calmly, set boundaries, and focus on what mattered most — their child’s wellbeing.

“Now the communication is always polite and even friendly,” Ian said. “We’ve both learned to step up when it matters. Our son feels safe, and we’re finally working together.”

Vennture’s approach is practical, relational, and rooted in the belief that children thrive when adults do the work. In the past year, 76% of parents supported by Vennture reported improved co-parenting relationships. That means fewer court battles, less stress, and children who feel loved by both parents.
