Results

 Scores for each section within the indicative bands should roughly be interpreted as follows:

 22 – 25 Very impressive.  Keep it up.  An area for a continuous improvement programme. 
 19 – 22 Some potential for concern in this area.  Action should be taken soon to prevent it becoming an issue. 
 15 – 18 Performance in this area is likely to hold back the overall performance of the business and therefore requires immediate attention.
