We will monitor progress of the Freedom From Violence and Abuse Strategy through a performance framework, details of which are included on pages 69-70 of the Strategy.

The performance framework includes a sub-metric on the prevalence of online harms.

We will report on the development and latest trends in our measures as part of our annual progress reports.
