Delivery and Impact: these reflect the nature of our work in that it has

a deliverable output, and that the output needs to meet certain criteria and have a

positive impact.

Raising Standards: it is vital that the activity leads to improved

outcomes for individuals, providers and employers – many measures will of

necessity need to be directly related to competition performance but, especially in

combination with other indicators, may represent a proxy for generally raising

standards.

Reach: primarily these are measures of the scale and scope of participation and

involvement that underpin our objective of mainstreaming competition activity within

VET.
