Buddhist 'Healthy Boundaries' training

By ECA Safeguarding on Wed, 12 Apr, 2023 - 13:46

Here comes information about the next three Buddhist Healthy Boundaries courses for committed Buddhists who teach, lead, mentor or befriend those less experienced than themselves. In Triratna terms these are most likely to be Order members.

Though not related specifically to Safeguarding (a very UK approach) they aim to raise our awareness - as committed Buddhists whom others may tend to look up to - in ways which will help us avoid the kinds of situations which may from...

Proposed mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse in England and Wales

By ECA Safeguarding on Thu, 20 Oct, 2022 - 17:43

This week has seen publication of the final report from the long-running government enquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales, which recommends that it be made a criminal offence for a person who works with children or is in a ‘position of trust’ to fail to report child sexual abuse to the police where they witness it or are told about it by a child or perpetrator.

Over the last seven years, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual...

UK: Safeguarding requirements under the Buddhist Insurance Scheme

By ECA Safeguarding on Tue, 22 Mar, 2022 - 08:09

Most Buddhist charities in the UK are insured under the Buddhist Insurance Scheme, which is underwritten by Ecclesiastical Insurance.

To ensure that you would actually be covered should your charity ever have reason to make an insurance claim related to a Safeguarding matter, do look at Ecclesiastical’s expectations of charities in relation to Safeguarding standards.

Please note that although Ecclesiastical defines Safeguarding as the protection of children and vulnerable adults, the Charity Commission for England and Wales requires charities to protect all adults...

Offering a home to Ukrainian refugees

By ECA Safeguarding on Wed, 16 Mar, 2022 - 08:24

Many of us have been very inspired by the example of the Triratna sangha in Krakow, Poland, opening their centre to refugee families from Ukraine. Last week Adhisthana and the College of Preceptors held an ‘Evening of Metta and Solidarity with our European Sangha’ in which Polish and Estonian Order members talked about their experience being so close to the conflict.

Watch the ‘Evening of Metta and Solidarity with our European Sangha’.

If we are inspired – as individual Buddhists or as...
