The Disability Inclusion Outcomes Framework (DIOF)™

From good intent to measurable outcomes

Most organisations can tell you what disability inclusion activities they are doing. Very few can tell you whether any of it is actually working.

The Disability Inclusion Outcomes Framework (DIOF)™  closes that gap. It measures what your disability inclusion efforts are producing — across leadership, staff, and customers — and maps your outcomes directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This is not a compliance tool. It is evidence that your disability inclusion is making a real difference.

How it works

Three lenses. One honest picture.

The DIOF™  assesses your organisation through three lenses simultaneously — Leadership, Staff, and Customers. Most disability inclusion measurement stops at the staff. The DIOF™  goes further, capturing what disabled customers actually experience when they interact with your organisation.

Each lens is assessed across five dimensions: Skills, Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviour, and Circumstance.

The result is a maturity score across all three lenses, a clear picture of where your organisation’s intent diverges from staff and customer experience, and a strategic roadmap for what to do next.

How the DIOF™ is Different from a DIAP

A Disability Inclusion Action Plan tells you what your organisation plans to do. The DIOF™ tells you whether it is actually working.

Most organisations have a plan. Almost none have independent evidence of outcomes. The DIOF™ provides that evidence, through a rigorous, structured assessment that goes beyond activity reporting to measure what has genuinely changed for disabled people inside and outside your organisation.
