Dear Friends,

After seven years as Triratna’s European Chairs’ Assembly’s Safeguarding officer I will be moving on at the end of June; and Amaladipa has recently stepped down as the ECA’s Safeguarding Adviser, after volunteering six years of invaluable work, support and advice, much of it on top of her full-time job as a senior leader in the probation service.

I am so grateful to Amaladipa for the support and expertise she has contributed to...

Meet the new Triratna Safeguarding team

By Munisha on Wed, 8 Nov, 2017 - 18:21

Safeguarding work in Triratna, in progress since 2013, has developed enormously in the last three months. As the overall Safeguarding officer (Munisha) I’d like to bring you up to date.
