Performance Indicators
We use a number of indicators to measure our performance. These are split into input and impact indicators.

Input Indicators
Input indicators show what is being ‘bought’ with public money, i.e. the resources being invested into delivering the results that we and our partners are aiming to achieve.
- Number of premises covered per £million of broadband delivery programme expenditure
- Ratio of charitable giving (donations and sponsorship) to Grant-in-Aid for cultural institutions funded by DCMS
- Public Funding per Eligible Student at Schools Competing in School Games
- Progress towards delivery on time and to budget of Olympic and Paralympic Games
Impact Indicators
Impact indicators give information on the outcomes of our work. They reflect the quality and effectiveness of the programmes and priorities set out in our business plan and the impact they have on society. They provide a broad picture of performance, with a particular focus on whether fairness is being improved.
- Number of people directly employed in tourism in the UK
- Number of overseas visitors to the UK
- Total amount of Creative Employment in the UK
- Ofcom’s ‘European Broadband Scorecard’
- Total amount of charitable giving (donations and sponsorship) to cultural institutions funded by DCMS
