Environmental Commitment
The UK requires the education sector to play its part in positively responding to climate change.
This intention to support the drive to achieve net zero through skills and decarbonisation will help to play a significant part in nature’s recovery, build an education system resilient to climate change, and provide the truth and hope that young people need to flourish in our changing world.

Sustainability in Education with SWIFT Teacher Training
At SWIFT Teacher Training, we are dedicated to fostering a sustainable future through our educational practices and community initiatives. As we move forward, we commit to enhancing our waste reduction efforts by continuously improving our digital documentation processes to further minimise paper use. We will also expand our policy of printing resources only when absolutely necessary to reduce waste.
Promoting sustainable transportation is another key focus for us. We will increase our efforts to encourage the use of public transport among trainees and staff, and strive to ensure that all placements are within reasonable travelling distances to minimise our environmental impact.
Advancing our sustainable curriculum and conferences is crucial to our mission. We will deepen the integration of sustainability topics into our curriculum to better educate future teachers about environmental issues. Additionally, we will expand our annual climate change and sustainability conference, with a continued focus on the South West, to include more experts, trainees, and community members. Through this conference and other initiatives, we will encourage greater participation in local sustainability efforts. Furthermore, we will increase the number of online sessions to further reduce travel and associated carbon emissions.
By committing to these actions, SWIFT Teacher Training aims to lead by example and inspire our trainees to become champions of sustainability in their future educational careers. Together, we can make a significant impact on our environment and create a greener, more sustainable world.
