2. How we score quality
A potential 44 elements are assessed depending on the nature of the business. A score from 0 to 5 is awarded for each element. This will result in an overall percentage score that will place your establishment within one of five grading bands.
However, it is not simply the overall percentage score that determines the final award.
If any of the 44 potential elements assessed scores zero this will result in no award being confirmed. Please note, where any element is not applicable, no assessment will be made and there will be no penalty for not providing any of these facilities or services.
In addition, the property must score a minimum of three in any element relating to cleanliness for an award to be confirmed.
No other area to score more than one Star rating band below the overall award.
The minimum shower:bed ratio must be met for each Star rating.
The minimum percentage scores and shower:bed ratios required for each Star rating are shown in the following table.
