Dear Triratna Safeguardians,

We’re increasingly asked about training for Safeguarding. The good news is that it’s available online, more cheaply and accessibly than ever.

Training may be available from your local authority.
The NSPCC offer well-regarded training for Safeguarding children.

Trustee gatherings with the ECA Safeguarding team

By ECA Safeguarding on Thu, 27 May, 2021 - 13:56

Would your centre council/trustees welcome a chance to meet the ECA’s Safeguarding team on Zoom sometime?

Amaladipa and I recently spent two hours on Zoom with the trustees of one Triratna charity. It was an informal opportunity for them to ask questions about Safeguarding and their responsibilities and they afterwards said how very helpful it had been. We enjoyed it too.

If you’d like to discuss this, or just suggest dates, email us at safeguarding [at] triratna.community.

We’re available from September...

Dear Triratna Safeguarding friends,

Want to get together with other Triratna Safeguarding officers for mutual support?

At the ECA Safeguarding team we know that being a centre Safeguarding officer can sometimes be a demanding and lonely job. So we’ll be offering a series of Zoom gatherings, starting on

Monday 28th June, 10.30-12.30 GMT

When we see how this one goes we’ll programme further meetings at various times and on various days of the week, to suit different time zones and working patterns.

To book, please email safeguarding [at] triratna.community.

With metta,
Munisha and Amaladipa

Dharmabyte: Investigating Skilfulness

By Sadayasihi on Mon, 24 May, 2021 - 06:00

Maitrisara explores two kinds of action: skilful and unskilful in the light of understanding, seeing possibilities. Buddhist ethics is as much a matter of intelligence as it is good intention.

From the talk entitled Perfect Action given at Birmingham Buddhist Centre, 2021, as part of the Sangha Night series on the Noble Eightfold Path.

Setting up secure email for Safeguarding work

By ECA Safeguarding on Tue, 18 May, 2021 - 13:32

Standard email is not secure enough for our charities to satisfy data protection law when sharing the kind of very sensitive personal information we sometimes need to share in Safeguarding work - which is permitted by law specifically for addressing and preventing harm.

ProtonMail offers free secure email and it can be set up so that you receive an alert to your regular email any time you receive a new message in ProtonMail, so you don’t have to remember to check it. (See below for more...

Anglican Church in England and Wales makes significant Safeguarding reforms

By ECA Safeguarding on Tue, 18 May, 2021 - 09:38

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse’s investigation into the Anglican Church in England and Wales has led to the Church committing to significant reform. The law in England and Wales will also be amended to add religious leaders to the definition of ‘positions of trust’. This new law will make it a criminal offence for religious leaders and teachers to have sex with anyone under 18 who would be deemed to be ‘in their care’, even though the age of consent is...

Despite Triratna centres being mostly closed since March 2020 because of the pandemic, the work of the ECA’s Safeguarding team has continued. Here’s a short account of our work.

Since 2016 the Safeguarding team has provided a central place to report ethical concerns. We can be found in the Triratna section of the dropdown menu on the home page of The Buddhist Centre Online at www.thebuddhistcentre.com - or just by searching ‘safeguarding’ on TBCO.
