Decades of specialist knowledge & experience
SW Education & Care (SWEC) is a residential children's homes provider based in the South West, offering high quality, individualised care and education support, to children and young people who have suffered childhood trauma.
As an organisation with decades of specialist knowledge and experience, SWEC has grown organically, ensuring we offer nurturing, well-appointed homes and highly trained staff, for the children and young people we support.

Providing personalised support for young people
At SWEC, we believe all children and young people should be provided with opportunities to achieve socially, emotionally and academically, whatever their personal barriers to success.
By providing personalised support to meet the needs of each individual, we enable them to develop trusting relationships. Children and young people build key skills, strength and resilience, improving their personal wellbeing and moving towards a more secure future.
We are able to provide a variety of support from our highly experienced teams and partner organisations, based around our long-term children’s homes.
- Senior Therapeutic Support WorkerSince working for SWEC, I feel like I have had my eyes opened to how care can really, REALLY, change the lives of troubled young people for the better. The team is carefully chosen and well trained. The management team are outstanding in knowledge and support, but also fun and approachable. I have been made to feel valued and supported to learn and progress, in both my job role and salary. Care work can have challenging times, but the progress in the children I have seen here at SWEC has impressed me no end.
