Status key
Back to top- Progress Used where there are 2 or more data points, including at least one data point after the start of the Strategy (December 2021), and the measure is moving in the direction the Strategy wants to see.
- No change Used where there are 2 or more data points, including at least one data point after the start of the Strategy (December 2021), and the latest data are similar to the baseline.
- Regress Used where there are 2 or more data points, including at least one data point after the start of the Strategy (December 2021), and the measure is not moving in the direction the Strategy wants to see.
