Compassion Impact Lens applied

Evaluates the formal application of a Compassion Impact Lens in decision-making, operationalizing the principle of *raḥmah* as a core governance duty. This ensures strategic choices consistently uphold the dignity and wellbeing of all stakeholders, fulfilling the organization's *amānah* (trust). The Lens includes escalation to safeguarding, whistleblowing, and Serious Incident Reporting where high-risk harms are identified, and commits to transparent communication of trade-offs and redress mechanisms. Crucially, the CIA complements (not replaces) risk assessments, Equality Impact Assessments, DPIAs, and H&S assessments, acting as a screening step that routes to these specialist processes when triggers are met.
