Description:

SWRAC provide a range of programmes including those specifically for young people with an EHCP. Work experience opportunities are also available for those with special educational needs.  At SWRAC, our Managing Director, Head of Learning, SENCO and some of our tutors all have young people with various levels of special educational needs, spanning different age groups. We are very pleased to include parents in all that we do. Right from the very first introduction, we will seek parent’s opinions towards a specific education plan for your child. We will keep you up to date on your child’s progress and, obviously, work with you when we get the odd curve ball to deal with too.
