SEND Shenanigans

SEND Shenanigans is the brutally honest, occasionally sweary, always hilarious podcast for anyone parenting a child with SEND. Hosted by Debs (planner addict and chaos organiser-in-chief), Gemma from Isla’s Voice, and Emma from INFACT, this trio dive headfirst into the joys, dramas, and WTF moments of life with additional needs in the mix. No preachy advice. No sugar-coating. Just real talk, relatable stories, and the kind of solidarity that can only come from people deep in the trenches with you. Each episode tackles the themes that SEND families know all too well — EHCP nightmares, school battles, sibling guilt, burnout, and the glorious nonsense spouted by strangers who “mean well”. We bring your voices in too - sharing stories, rants, and small wins from our Facebook group. Because this podcast isn’t just for the community. It is the community. Whether you’re new to SEND life or you’ve been riding this rollercoaster for years, SEND Shenanigans is your place to feel seen, supported, and laugh-cry in public. Part of the SEND Believers Network - championing inclusion, community, and telling it like it is.
