Website Statement

It is with immense sadness and regret that we inform you that Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) will commence a wind down programme from 11th November 2025.  

This process is expected to take 28 days to allow time for alternative placements to be found for residential clients at our Care and Rehabilitation Centre, and to honour commitments to other clients to the best extent possible.  

At the end of this period, QEF intends to file for administration.   

We have worked tirelessly over the last year to try and save the charity, exploring numerous options to improve its finances, but unfortunately there wasn’t a viable solution that met all the necessary requirements to overcome the challenging financial situation QEF faced. 

It has been our privilege to support disabled people for over 90 years, providing expert services that have changed many lives, and we are deeply saddened that it cannot continue. 

Our priorities right now are to work with funding bodies to ensure clients find suitable alternative placements and to support our remarkable staff during this difficult time.

Pass Plus

Pass Plus builds on the skill and knowledge gained when taking lessons before passing the driving test.

The course teaches how to further develop skills in planning and anticipation and to help increase confidence in a range of conditions including motorway driving. Pass Plus is an established and flexible training course aimed at new drivers. It was designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) with the help of insurers and the driving instruction industry.

What’s Involved?

Pass Plus consists of six modules about driving in different conditions including:

  • Town driving
  • Driving in all types of weather conditions
  • Driving on rural roads
  • Driving at night
  • Driving on dual carriageways
  • Driving on motorways

Duration

Pass Plus training will usually take six hours (one hour per module), though it can take longer if necessary.

The Training Sessions

Pass Plus is a practical course and all modules are expected to be practical sessions. However, local conditions and time of year may mean that some modules need to be given as theory sessions. At least five-and-a-half out of six hours should be spent in the car.

There is no test at the end of the course as the modules are continually assessed.

Recording Progress

Instructors complete a training report when you reach the required standard in each module. To pass the course a satisfactory standard must be achieved in all modules. A progress record is provided to keep track of advancement throughout the course.
