EastEnders star Kellie Bright shared a positive about her son who has special educational needs (SEN).
The Linda Carter actress, 47, who is mum to Freddie, 11, Gene, 6, and Rudy, 1, discussed the long process of getting an Educational Health Care (EHC) assessment for her son.
In a new update, the former Strictly Come Dancing star issued a wholesome update.
She began: ‘I have been meaning to post a little update about our SEN/ECHP journey on here for a while.
‘And I am delighted to share with you – delighted is such a rubbish word for actually how amazing it is – as of February 6, 2024, my son has officially got his Educational Health Care plan.’
She continued: ‘The process once the assessment actually started happening was fairly swift, as suddenly I felt like people were on our side and I wasn’t having to fight as much as I had. [During a meeting], we were in a room together and I suddenly realised that everyone in there was on the side of my son, and that was huge.
‘Posting this is weird because I know so many families out there are still trying to get theirs, are having the fight of their lives. I feel incredibly lucky that we have it, which isn’t right. I shouldn’t feel like I’m lucky, but I do. I know it isn’t a golden ticket, but it helps, it really helps.’
