Inclusive access (women & youth)
Evaluates the proactive design of educational programs to ensure full, equitable access for women and youth. Upholding ʿAdl and Musāwāt in this way is vital for excellence, as it empowers key community segments, nurtures future leaders, and secures the organization's long-term vitality. This includes equitable resourcing (venue quality, teacher calibre, budget) for women's provision, not just ad-hoc access.
Assessment Questions
- What formal policies and practical measures (e.g., childcare, scheduling, safe spaces) are in place to ensure educational programs are fully accessible to women and youth?
- How are women and youth representatives actively involved in the planning, design, and evaluation of educational content and initiatives?
- What is your DPIA outcome and retention schedule for gender/age participation data?
- What is your safeguarding training matrix and last-completed dates for youth-facing roles?
- Show the proportionality review and evidence base for women-only sessions and the date of last review.
Evidence Requirements
- Policy documents on equal opportunity, safeguarding (including training matrix), and inclusive program design.
- DPIA for participation monitoring, privacy notice snippet, and data retention log.
- Single-sex / Positive Action Rationale document with proportionality review.
- Program schedules, marketing materials, and registration data segmented by gender and age.
- Minutes from Advisory Councils showing active participation from women and youth.
- Documented travel risk assessments and Online SOPs.
- Participant feedback surveys, testimonials, and impact reports.
