Needs assessment
Understand the need before shaping the response.
When you are planning a programme or reviewing a service, a clear understanding of need helps you choose a proportionate response.
I help organisations define the assessment question, listen to people affected, examine barriers and community strengths, and translate the evidence into practical priorities.
Useful outputs, agreed together
- An agreed assessment scope and listening approach
- A summary of needs, barriers, assets and evidence gaps
- Priorities and options to inform programme or service planning
Scope, timing and deliverables are agreed around your context. The work supports informed decisions; it does not promise a particular organisational or community outcome.
Relevant experience
Grounded in practice
My community engagement work at SSI/Access connected community perspectives with service design and organisational decisions.

- Clarify the decision and what evidence is needed.
- Identify whose experience is missing and choose accessible listening methods.
- Review evidence, community strengths, barriers and service gaps.
- Test emerging priorities with relevant people and agree next steps.
