OSI-OSA-02 Outreach & Social Impact Outreach & Social Action CORE Excellence v2.9.7

Number of public events

Evaluates the commitment to hosting at least six public events annually. Public events are externally advertised gatherings open to non-members and the wider community (including online/hybrid). They exclude routine worship services (e.g., Jumu‘ah), internal member-only meetings/classes, and staff/volunteer trainings. A recurring series counts as one event unless each session has: (a) a separately advertised registration page or flyer, (b) distinct learning objectives, and (c) separate attendance and evaluation records. This practice embodies *ta‘āruf* (mutual acquaintance) and serves the public good (*maṣlaḥa*), building crucial bridges with the wider community, enhancing public trust, and fostering greater social cohesion.

Assessment Questions
  1. Does the organization have a signed approval form for each event covering budget, risk, and safeguarding?
  2. How does the organization define and measure 'occupancy', 'new attendees', and 'satisfaction' (are definitions consistent)?
  3. Is an Accessibility Checklist completed for every event, and is access info published in advance?
  4. What evidence exists for data protection compliance (privacy notices, photo opt-outs, retention schedules)?
  5. How are safeguarding risks assessed per event (Regulated Activity Assessment) and what on-the-day controls are evidenced?
  6. Are fire safety and licensing requirements (TENs, food safety, PRS) documented for each venue/activity?
Evidence Requirements
  • Annual event calendar.
  • Signed Event Approval Forms (budget, risk, safeguarding).
  • Promotion Plans (screenshots of posts/flyers, evidence of 14-day lead time).
