Inclusive & Engaging Celebrations
This criterion assesses the extent to which the organization designs and delivers community events and celebrations (such as Eid festivals, cultural festivals, Islamic heritage days) that are inclusive, engaging, and contribute positively to community cohesion and well-being. The focus is on creating celebrations that cater to a diverse range of participants, fostering a sense of belonging, promoting cross-cultural understanding, and reflecting Islamic values of *Ikram al-Dayf* (honouring guests), compassion, and respect. The criterion mandates a risk-based, tiered approach to safety and accessibility, ensuring events are welcoming to individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds while removing hardship (*Raf' al-Haraj*). Furthermore, it requires effective communication, robust governance, and continuous improvement to ensure celebrations adhere to Islamic principles and legal obligations while promoting positive social interactions.

| Target | ≥90% Satisfaction, 0 Incidents |
| Frequency | Per Event |
| Method | Composite index: Satisfaction survey + Incident Log + Waste Report + Accessibility Audit |
| Unit | Scorecard Index |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
Events are ad-hoc, often disorganized, with minimal safety planning or inclusivity considerations. Compliance with basic legal duties (insurance, fire safety) is inconsistent.
Level 2: Developing
Basic planning exists, but risk management is informal. Some inclusivity efforts are made (e.g., food), but accessibility and safeguarding are not systematized. No clear tiering of events.
Level 3: Established
Events follow a basic safety plan. A Designated Safeguarding Lead is present. Basic accessibility is considered (e.g., ramps). Feedback is collected but not systematically analyzed. Compliance with GDPR is basic.
Level 4: Advanced
Tiered risk management is fully implemented. Proactive accessibility measures (Access Statement, quiet zones) are standard. Safeguarding is robust with role-based DBS. Sustainability goals are set. Data drives improvements.
Level 5: Optimizing
Best-in-class 'Iḥsān' standard. Events are zero-waste, fully accessible, and co-designed with diverse partners. Governance is proactive with trustee oversight. The organization is a model for safe, inclusive, and sustainable community celebrations.
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size
| Size | Applicability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | partial | Only Tier 1 (basic safety lead) applies; formal tiered planning and incident command structures are disproportionate for small indoor gatherings. |
| Small | partial | Applies up to Tier 2 (written risk assessments and crowd management); Tier 3 incident command is unlikely to be needed. |
| Medium | full | |
| Large | full | |
| Major | full |
