Actor and presenter Kellie Bright, known for her role in EastEnders, has created a BBC Panorama documentary exploring the challenges faced by families of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in England.
Drawing on her own experience as the parent of an autistic child with ADHD and dyslexia, Bright investigates how families navigate the education system and the process of securing support.
The documentary highlights a system under tension, parents fighting for adequate education for their children while councils struggle with limited budgets.
Bright presents the issue as a balancing act between family needs and financial realities, with reforms expected to determine whether the system can become more effective and sustainable.
