Proactive Remediation Framework for Negligence

This criterion assesses the extent to which the organization has established and implemented a proactive and comprehensive framework for preventing and remediating professional negligence. It emphasizes a commitment to `Ihsan` (excellence), `Adl` (justice), and client welfare, going beyond compliance to foster a culture of accountability. The framework must encompass robust risk assessment, preventative controls, timely detection, effective corrective actions, and transparent reporting. Central to this is the principle of `La darar wa la dirar` (no harm and no reciprocating harm), ensuring remediation prioritizes harm removal and rectification. Compensation must follow a structured playbook based on `Dhaman` (guarantee) and `Al-Kharaj bi al-Daman` (entitlement by liability), prioritising `ta’widh` (actual, evidenced loss) while avoiding riba-based calculations, though complying with legal requirements for interest through Shariah-compliant handling where necessary. Amicable settlement (`sulh`) and arbitration (`tahkim`) should be offered in line with Islamic ethics and UK legal guidelines (e.g., Arbitration Act 1996). The framework must include clearly defined escalation pathways, independence safeguards for sensitive cases, and strict adherence to data protection laws (GDPR). Additionally, it requires specific regulatory mapping (e.g., FCA, SRA, CQC) to ensure all statutory rights and timelines are embedded.
