  • What will happen when I first meet the ADTRAC Team?

    Someone from the ADTRAC Team will meet with you to discuss the project and to find out a bit more about you, what you are finding difficult and what you want to achieve. They will then be able to discuss with you the approach they can take to support you to overcome your barriers and to achieve your goals.

    After that they will complete the sign up paperwork with you and once they have all the evidence documents in place, they will begin writing an action plan and putting together your support package. You will be the driver in what your package looks like to support you on your journey into either work, education or training.

    The support you receive will be personal to you, and could include support for welfare matters, wellbeing, mild/moderate mental health concerns, skills improvement and employability.

  • What is ADTRAC’s Eco Code?
    Eco Code

    Throughout the lifetime of the project, ADTRAC will promote sustainable development and minimise its impact on the environment. ADTRAC will adopt the following approaches to achieve this:

    Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

    We will use only the materials we need so we reduce this risk of waste. Where possible the project will recycle materials and purchase recycled materials.

    Travel

    We will encourage more environmentally friendly ways to travel including encouraging the use of public transport, vehicle sharing where possible and reducing the need for travel where possible through using technology such as google hangout, videoconferences and skype.

    Energy

    We will encourage our teams to adopt practical ways of saving energy, including turning off electronic devices when not in use, turning off all heating/lighting when it is not needed, closing all doors/windows in winter; and turning off taps whenever they are not in use.

    Encourage Others

    We will produce materials which provide practical tips on how have a positive impact on the environment, these will be available in video format as well as literature to reduce the amount of factsheets we will need to produce.

    This video clip offers one tip per month which can be easily incorporated into everyday life and collectively can make a real difference over a year.
