What does my performance score mean?
The scoring system is indicative of your performance within each section of the BLIM Anti-racism Code of Conduct. These scores are added up, then averaged out, to give an overall score.
Since each section covers different subject matter each section has its own criteria. One section may be scored simply off two questions, whereas others will be from a combination of questions.
The scoring for each section is explained in a little more detail, and how you can improve your score.
What is the Benchmark?
The benchmark shows a minimum standard that everyone should be meeting. It should not be mistaken for success, and everyone can improve in many areas.
Similarly, the scoring system isn’t perfect, it’s a guide that works for most people most of the time. Everyone should engage with the learning centre to sharpen their knowledge, skills and procedures.
What happens if I score a low score?
The results page will show a breakdown of your score and which metrics you score low on in accordance with the Code of Conduct.
