A smarter, more consistent way to deliver needs assessments
If you're delivering DSA or Access to Work assessments, you'll already know the challenges: inconsistent standards, assessor-led outcomes, long and exhausting processes, and rising pressure on time and resources.
UDISAS is here to change that.
The challenges with the current assessment process
Traditional assessment models are facing
significant pressures
No standard qualifications
Anyone can call themselves an assessor, leading to wide variations in quality.
Assessor-led, not person-led
The individual's voice can get lost in rigid processes.
Prescriptive and limiting
Traditional models often focus on ticking boxes rather than exploring real abilities.
Time and cost pressures
Face-to-face assessments are expensive, hard to schedule, and resource-intensive.
Compromised outcomes
Subjective results make consistency difficult to achieve.
No standardised reporting
Inconsistent reports make comparisons and decisions unreliable.
How UDISAS supports providers
UDISAS is designed to be flexible. It can operate as a powerful tool for assessors, streamlining and supporting their work, or it can fully automate the entire needs assessment process. The choice is yours.
By digitising and standardising the five key stages of assessment, UDISAS allows providers to decide how much of the process they want to automate and how much they want to keep human-led.
That might mean using UDISAS to handle preparation and report-writing while assessors focus on the core conversation, or it could mean offering a fully automated journey that individuals complete independently at their own pace.
This flexibility means:
Providers can reduce workload while still offering a guided, person-centred process.
Individuals gain more agency and can engage with the assessment in manageable stages.
Assessments are always consistent, reliable, and ready to scale.
UDISAS was designed to solve problems.
It provides assessment providers with a powerful digital tool that makes assessments more consistent, person-centred, and efficient - while also giving individuals the opportunity to take ownership of their own journey.
We've mapped out four deployment models (ranging from assessor-assisted to full automation) so providers can adopt the model that works best for them.

Frequently asked questions
-
UDISAS can automate or assist any of the five core stages of a needs assessment. Providers can choose a deployment model that ranges from assessor-assisted to fully automated. This flexibility reduces workload, saves time, and ensures consistent outcomes.
-
No. This is not about removing human expertise altogether, but using it more efficiently and where it adds the most value. Routine, structured cases are handled consistently by the platform, while human intervention is reserved for targeted support and the handling of edge case difficulties or support requirements that fall outside the structured model.
