Accessible Family-Friendly Entertainment Programming
This criterion evaluates the extent to which the organization provides accessible, inclusive, and engaging entertainment and recreational programs specifically designed for families, adhering to Islamic values and strict safeguarding standards. It assesses the organization's systematic approach to planning diverse activities that cater to all age groups (children, youth, adults, seniors) and abilities, ensuring compliance with the Equality Act 2010 through documented reasonable adjustments. The criterion emphasizes 'Raf' al-Haraj' (removal of hardship) by evaluating affordability mechanisms (subsidies), convenient scheduling around prayer times, and logistical support. It requires a robust governance framework where safeguarding is treated as an 'Amanah' (trust), including mandatory vetting, supervision ratios, and risk management. Furthermore, the organization must demonstrate a 'closed-loop' feedback process (CAPA) to continuously improve program quality, safety, and spiritual value, ensuring a welcoming environment that strengthens family bonds (Silat al-Rahim).
- How does the organization systematically plan a diverse portfolio of activities that caters to intergenerational needs?
- What is the formal process for reviewing program content against Shariah and Adab guidelines before approval?
- How does the organization demonstrate compliance with the Equality Act 2010 regarding reasonable adjustments for disabled participants?
- What safeguarding controls (DSL, DBS, ratios, training) are mandatory for all family events, and how are they monitored?
- How are affordability and 'Raf' al-Haraj' addressed to ensure low-income families can participate without stigma?
- Describe the 'closed-loop' process for using feedback and incident reports to implement corrective actions (CAPA).
- Safeguarding Policy, DSL appointment letter, and Training/DBS logs.
- Event Risk Assessments (including First Aid, Evacuation, and Food Safety).
- Accessibility Checklists and records of reasonable adjustments made.
- Values Review/Sign-off documents for program content.
- Budget showing subsidy utilization or affordable pricing structure.
- Feedback analysis reports and 'You Said, We Did' communications.
- GDPR-compliant privacy notices and consent forms (especially for photography).
- Annual calendar demonstrating rotation of timings and activity types.
