DelamereOutdoor Wedding Receptions KPIs

2017 Key Performance Indicators – DelamereOutdoor Wedding Receptions

These Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) along with the Management Regulations will form part of the Licence and will be used to monitor DelamereOutdoor Wedding Receptions performance against the Forestry Commission’s expectations.

These KPIs will form the basis of a standardised review process. The review will take place on an annual basis by 30 November

Each KPI will be scored 1-5 (where 1=unacceptable; 2=requires improvement; 3=acceptable; 4=good; 5=exceeds expectation)

If a Licensee scores 1 or 2 on a KPI, they must work with the FC site contact or other representative to improve their standards within an agreed period of time. If the score does not improve to 3 or above within that period of time, then the FC reserves the right to revoke the licence (see licence section 8).

These KPIs will be reviewed regularly and may be adapted or amended with consent of the Licensee, such consent is not to be unreasonable withheld.
