Score a venue.

The certification rubric I wrote for Friendly Spaces, running live. Answer as though you were standing in the room. The bar underneath is the whole system: each section is as wide as it is worth.

36 or more certified. 29 to 35 conditional, with defined improvement measures. Below 29 not certified yet. Up to six bonus points sit on top, for a maximum of 54.

Toilets and changing carry ten points, the heaviest section, ahead of the entrance, the atmosphere and the food. That weighting is the judgement in the system, and it came from asking parents rather than venue owners.

Reports are written in German. Section names are given in both here.
