Availability of safe, dedicated youth space/facilities
Evaluating the provision of a safe, dedicated youth space fulfills the *Amānah* (trust) of community care. Grounded in *Riʿāyah* (stewardship) and *Ḥayā’* (modesty/dignity), this facility builds parental trust, fosters a sense of belonging, and provides a supervised environment for positive peer development where *Sakīnah* (tranquility) prevails. By facilitating *Ṣuḥbah Ṣāliḥah* (righteous companionship), such spaces actively support the *Maqāṣid* (higher objectives) of *Ḥifẓ al-Dīn* (preservation of religion) and *Ḥifẓ al-ʿAql* (preservation of intellect) through holistic *Tarbiyah* (upbringing).
| Metric | Safeguarding & Safety Compliance Score |
|---|---|
| Target | 100% Compliance |
| Frequency | Quarterly |
| Method | Composite: Training % + DBS % + Incident Closure Rate + Risk Action Closure Rate |
| Unit | Percentage |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
No dedicated or designated youth space exists. Activities are ad-hoc, unsupervised, or occur in unsafe environments.
Level 2: Developing
A shared space is used occasionally but lacks formal designation or consistent availability. Supervision is reactive, and safeguarding/safety controls are minimal or undocumented.
Level 3: Established
A 'Designated' space exists with regular hours. Basic safeguarding (DBS, ratios) and safety policies are in place. Access is controlled during sessions, but the space may not be exclusive to youth.
Level 4: Advanced
A 'Dedicated' space (or highly controlled Designated space) is well-resourced and proactively managed. A full safeguarding system (incl. low-level concerns, allegations) is operational. Risk assessments are living documents, and youth feedback is systematically acted upon.
Level 5: Optimizing
The facility is a benchmark of excellence, designed with youth input. Governance assurance is robust (quarterly trustee reporting). The space integrates *sakīnah* and *adab* into its fabric, with diverse youth leadership driving continuous improvement.
