Curriculum reviewed & published

This criterion assesses whether the organization maintains a high-quality, documented curriculum that undergoes a rigorous, evidence-based review cycle and is responsibly published. It distinguishes between a 'Public Curriculum Pack' (outlines, intent, safeguarding) for transparency and an 'Internal Full Pack' (resources, schemes) for delivery. The process integrates strict accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA), privacy-by-design (Children's Code, DPIA screening), and safeguarding compliance (DSL sign-off, Prevent, political impartiality). It anchors the process in the Islamic values of Amanah (trust in content accuracy), Tabayyun (verification of sources), and Shūrā (consultation), ensuring the curriculum continuously evolves to meet the needs of learners and the community.

Assessment Questions
  1. Do you have a 'Public Curriculum Pack' distinct from your internal resources?
  2. Can you provide the written SME report and Conflict of Interest declarations for the last review?
  3. Has the DSL signed off on the safeguarding and Prevent curriculum map this year?
  4. Where is your published Accessibility Statement and when was it last updated?
  5. Show evidence of how specific stakeholder feedback led to a curriculum change ('You Said/We Did').
Evidence Requirements
  • Standard Review Bundle (Agenda, SME Report, Change Log, Approval Minutes).
  • Public Curriculum Pack (URL) and Internal Full Pack (Sample).
  • Accessibility Statement and latest Accessibility Audit/Checklist.
  • Privacy Publication Screening forms and DPIA records.
  • Safeguarding/Prevent Map with DSL signature.
  • Standards Mapping Table (e.g., vs National Curriculum).
