UK Enterprise Awards 2026/ 20 Most Innovative CoParenting App 2026 Chlikk Co-Parenting is an innovative app created specifically for families navigating complex parenting arrangements, including legal restrictions and structured agreements. The platform goes beyond simple chat apps, providing an easy-to-use system that is built to be reliable and straight to the point. We find out more from Founder Vikki Clarke following a win in the UK Enterprise Awards 2026. Chlikk Co-Parenting (Chlikk) is a UK-based co-parenting platform designed to support families navigating separation, particularly in high-conflict situations. Built from real-life experience, Chlikk focuses on creating safer, more structured communication between parents, with the ultimate goal of protecting children from conflict. Since launching in 2025, the platform has already reached users across nine countries, reflecting a clear and widespread demand. “At Chlikk, our purpose is simple: Putting children first,” explains Vikki Clarke, the firm’s Founder. “We understand that co-parenting can be challenging, and when court processes become lengthy and complex, children often get caught in the middle. In some cases, this can even lead to a parent losing contact with their children, something no family should have to endure.” Chlikk’s clients include separated parents, blended families, and individuals involved in family court proceedings who need a reliable, neutral space to manage communication, schedules, and shared responsibilities. The platform is also relevant to legal professionals and family support services who recognise the importance of clear, accountable communication. Chlikk’s core values are centred around child-first thinking, accountability, clarity, and fairness. These values are not just principles; they are actively embedded into how Chlikk functions every day, guiding how the dedicated team design features and support users, and how the firm positions itself within the co-parenting and legal landscape. The innovative platform offers a range of tools designed to reduce conflict and improve clarity. These include structured messaging, shared calendars, and secure document storage, alongside its proprietary AI-powered features. The technology is designed to encourage calmer communication, highlight potentially problematic messages before they are sent, and support parents in making more considered decisions in emotionally charged situations. “Unlike traditional communication apps, Chlikk is built with safeguarding at its core,” Vikki elaborates. “It provides a centralised, auditable record of interactions, helping to reduce misunderstandings and create accountability. The platform is aligned with UK standards and the realities of family court processes, making it both practical and relevant for real-world use. “It exists to bring structure where there is chaos, clarity where there is confusion, and to help families move forward in a healthier, more constructive way.” Rather than relying solely on traditional market research, Chlikk’s development is grounded in lived experience, user feedback, and a deep understanding of how communication breaks down in practice - particularly in legally sensitive environments. The platform’s unique selling point lies in its dual-layered approach to communication. Chlikk does not simply provide a space for messaging - it actively supports better communication through intelligent guidance and structured accountability. By combining behavioural support with safeguards designed to reduce escalation, the platform helps prevent conflict before it happens, rather than reacting after the fact. “We stay ahead of the curve by remaining user-led, experiencedriven, and uncompromising in our focus on real outcomes - not just features,” says Vikki. “Our goal is not to follow the market, but to redefine expectations within it.” The co-parenting and family communication space in the UK is evolving rapidly, driven by changes in how people communicate, increased awareness of safeguarding, and a growing overlap between technology and legal processes. One of the most significant trends that Vikki and he team have seen emerging is the shift toward written, digital communication. Messaging has become the primary way separated parents interact, which creates both opportunity and risk. While it allows for clarity and record-keeping, it also increases the likelihood of misinterpretation, escalation, and emotionally driven responses. This has led to a clear demand for more structured and accountable communication environments.
