What drives our work
UDISAS is working towards a future in which more people can understand their needs and make better-informed decisions about support.
Our purpose, vision, mission, and guiding principles connect that long-term ambition to how we design, develop, and apply the platform today.
Helping people make better support decisions
UDISAS exists to help people make better support decisions by improving the quality, consistency, and accessibility of needs assessment.
Appropriate support begins with a clear understanding of a person's activities, circumstances, strengths, barriers, and priorities. By improving how that information is gathered, organised, and communicated, we aim to help individuals and organisations consider support with greater confidence.
This purpose provides a practical test for new platform capabilities, product editions, deployments, and partnerships: will they improve the understanding and support more effective decision-making?
A future in which greater understanding leads to more equitable opportunities
UDISAS is working towards a future in which more people can perform at their best and achieve their goals.
We pursue this vision by widening access to high-quality, evidence-informed needs assessment, helping people develop a fuller understanding of their needs, explore relevant tools and strategies, and make confident, informed decisions about what to take forward.
Turning comprehensive information into clearer understanding and action
Our mission is to improve how support needs are identified, understood, and acted upon. We are pursuing it through a configurable digital needs assessment platform that combines structured information gathering, evidence-informed analysis, transparent recommendations, informed selection, and clear reporting.
Our objectives and priorities
Widen access to assessment
Use scalable digital technology to make detailed information gathering and assessment available through more routes and in more contexts.
Improve understanding and decision-making
Help people to explore their strengths, challenges, needs, and relevant support options with greater clarity and make better support choices.
Deliver consistent trusted outcomes
Give organisations structured evidence and transparent reasoning that can inform proportionate, accountable support and policy decisions.
Adapt responsibly to different contexts
Enable product edition customisation for different sectors, organisations, and funding models while preserving a coherent assessment framework.
Improve continuously
Enhance and refine the platform as evidence, technology, professional knowledge, and user needs evolve.
Better information builds better understanding.
Better understanding leads to better support decisions.
