| 1 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – System and mechanisms are not put into practice, implemented |
| 2 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are no improvement/developments integrated into the process |
| 3 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are improvement/ developments integrated into the process from assessment results |
| 4 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are improvement/developments integrated into the process from assessment results – There are concrete results from the improvements that can be clearly seen |
| 5 | – A system and mechanisms are in place – The system and mechanisms are put into practice, implemented – The process is assessed – There are improvement/developments integrated into the process from assessment results – There are concrete results from the improvements that can be clearly seen – There are good practice with support evidence, assessment committee can clearly explain why these are good practice |
