Farewell thank you collection for Munisha and Amaladipa

By ECA Safeguarding on Wed, 17 May, 2023 - 09:13

Following yesterday’s post about Munisha and Amaladipa moving on from Safeguarding work in Triratna, here is a message from those raising money to thank them both, and to enable Munisha to have a rest before seeking further employment.

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/thank-you-to-our-safeguarding-team#start

“Back in 2016, Munisha saw the need for Triratna Centres to comply with legislation around the protection from harm of children and adults. Ably helped by Amaladipa (bringing considerable expertise from a career in the probation service) they pioneered the support for...

Munisha and Amaladipa are moving on

By ECA Safeguarding on Tue, 16 May, 2023 - 11:21

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...

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...

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