Volunteer management: hours logging, safer recruitment & safeguarding
Evaluates the fulfillment of Amānah (trust) by ensuring volunteer service is honored through systematic logging and protected via robust safeguarding. This criterion assesses (A) service stewardship through accurate hour logging and (B) safeguarding governance including safer recruitment, training, reporting, and data protection. Scoring considers both domains with minimum safeguarding ‘red lines’ (non-negotiables) regardless of logging performance. Safeguarding is a communal obligation of raḥmah: ‘The believers… are like one body’ (Muslim 2586), reinforcing proactive prevention, prompt response, and collective responsibility for the vulnerable.
