Why confidentiality?

By ECA Safeguarding on Thu, 10 Jun, 2021 - 14:00

You may be wondering why the details about Safeguarding cases and cases of ethical misconduct in Triratna need to be kept so confidential. Why can’t everyone know?

Actually it’s not specifically to do with Safeguarding or misconduct. Data protection law in the UK and many other countries strictly protects the privacy of the individual and restricts the ways in which organisations may use or share information about individuals. You’ll notice this every time a website or an organisation asks your permission to hold...

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?

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,

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...
