Inclusion and Support Services
South West Durham Training has a dedicated team for Inclusion. Each and every
learner can reach their full potential and access learning through our ambitious
drive and dedication to SEND and additional needs.
All learners are given holistic access to wrap-around support from point of
application, throughout transition, across all college sites, in-classroom and outside
of classroom, and in the wider college environment. We understand that college can
be a daunting step for many, and for this reason, our team of dedicated inclusion
staff is here to reduce anxiety and provide support at every opportunity. This
support enables our learners to access all available opportunities, and to have the
most positive learning experience whilst studying at South West Durham Training.
Whatever your support needs, you can be confident that we will have a tailored
approach to your individual requirements.
Our college works in partnership with teaching staff, the local authority, internal
and external agencies, employers and organisations, to provide a destination driven,
inclusive and person centred approach. The support we offer is informed and
improved through regular reviewing, and our aim, where possible, is to guide you
with confidence and pride to independence and employment. You can find more
