"I would like to say explicitly that without the ongoing support of South West Intervention Services, I am sure that G would not have achieved as much as she has, and certainly would not now be ready to step back into education. Like you, I am really proud of her, and pleased with how far she has come, and I know from discussions with her that she is truly thankful for all of the support you have given her, over these past months. I have been thoroughly impressed by your constant commitment to G, and meeting her outcomes, and you and your staff have truly delivered. What a service you are!!!!! As a service you do shine brightly. I can never thank you enough for what you have done for G".

"I wanted to thank you for all the support you gave me over the years. I've just finished my A-levels in Brixham and I'm going to university in Bristol next week to study marketing, wouldn't have got to where I was without you".

“SWIS have been fantastic at communicating with us. In particular, their reporting of safeguarding incidents and acknowledgement when students are sick or not at their home address. Very professional. Both students and their families have been very positive about the service they receive from SWIS. Reports about the students are sent to me and they are very detailed and clearly detail how they are addressing the targets set by school and what the next steps are. I have been impressed with SWIS particularly their communication. As a school we highly recommend SWIS and the work they do with some of our more challenging students.”

“Staff have been absolutely brilliant working with the child in our school. They understand him really well and have built excellent working relationships with him. Staff have been very effective in terms of working towards positive outcomes for him. We have seen really positive progress in his emotional development and his capacity to access learning in school since SWIS have been involved. I cannot praise the service enough for the positive impact the intervention has had on this child's life. Thank you SWIS.”
