Who We Are

Leading the government’s vision of achieving equality for disabled people

ODI leads the government’s vision of achieving equality for disabled people. We believe disabled people should have the same choices and opportunities as non disabled people. We are a cross-government organisation that works with government departments, disabled people and a wide range of external groups.

We work collaboratively with government departments to make sure the needs of disabled people are reflected in their work and our own projects. We provide strategic advice and analysis, we share tools and develop skills among government staff.

We engage with disabled people, disability organisations and service users, and believe that those affected by a service or policy should be involved in designing it. This co-production approach adds value to work across government and leads to innovative and practical solutions.
