Welcome to SWRAC Training & Education Organisation

Supporting individuals to thrive through real-life and relevant education programmes. Our intention is to provide people with the skills, knowledge and experience to BE resilient, confident & independent, to GROW into education, employment or meaningful activity, LIVE healthily, DEVELOP and MAINTAIN healthy relationships, CONTRIBUTE positively to their communities and BE safe.

We are delighted to announce that on the 14th September 2021 Ofsted arrived at our centres to carry out a full inspection and have graded us as a GOOD Provider. This means that we have been consistently GOOD since our first inspection in 2008!

Superpeople have been working for the last year on The Achieve Project! With help from Disability Rights UK, we collaborated with over 70+ students from Arts University Bournemouth. They were tasked with creating self-promotion products, to help 14 young adults with additional needs from SWRAC to find employment. We couldn’t be more proud to show off our short documentary.

Helping Parents & Carers

For many parents and carers of young people with special educational needs, the mainstream education system can be something of a minefield. We work in partnership with you to create a specific education plan for your young person.

SEN Work Experience

At SWRAC, we work with many people who have special educational needs (SEN) and we are always on the lookout for enthusiastic employers and businesses who might be able to offer them work experience opportunities.
