Gender-Appropriate Sports & Fitness Programs

This criterion assesses the organization's provision of sports and fitness programs tailored to the specific needs and sensitivities of men and women, adhering to Islamic guidelines and UK law. It examines the availability, accessibility, and cultural appropriateness of these programs, ensuring equal opportunities for physical well-being while respecting Islamic values of modesty, privacy, and dignity. The assessment evaluates program design, facilities, instruction, and governance to ensure they cater to diverse community needs. It specifically addresses the removal of barriers (childcare, transport, cost), disability inclusion, and the lawful application of single-sex service exemptions under the Equality Act 2010. Rigorous compliance with safeguarding (DBS), health and safety (HSE), and data protection (GDPR) is integrated into the delivery model.
