Established in 2007, we are a charity providing assessments for people with medical conditions or disabilities to help them regain or maintain their independence. We offer practical advice on equipment and adaptations, and retraining which will enable you to travel safely and comfortably.
Our Head office is based in Hampton in Arden, Solihull and we have an accredited centre in Manchester. These support 7 satellite centres, operating 4 days per week.
We are committed to delivering high-quality assessments. All our assessors are qualified driving instructors and occupational therapists, specially trained for their roles. They receive ongoing training, pursue professional driving assessment qualifications, and engage in continuous development with regular supervision and relevant courses. We monitor service quality through regular surveys and adhere to strict accreditation standards.
Our independent assessment services are accredited by the national charity Driving Mobility, which oversees 20 organisations across the UK, including both charities and NHS centres. Driving Mobility ensures consistent standards, promotes best practice, and provides training to all centres, working closely with key national organisations like the Department for Transport, DVLA, DVA (NI), Motability, and the Police, among others.
Driving Mobility is privileged to have Baroness Thomas of Winchester as their patron and is supported by HM Government.
As a charity, RDAC relies on grants and donations to fund the critical service it provides. We are always grateful for the support of the public and if you would like to donate we ensure that contributions go directly to front line services. If you are interested in taking to us about commercial partnerships, becoming a Trustee or Voulnteering with us, please contact us at info@rdac.co.uk. Thank you.
