Ethical Guidelines and Safeguarding Policies
We take the safety and well-being of all people coming along to the Buddhist Centre very seriously - the first ethical precept for Buddhists is to cultivate loving-kindness (or metta in Pali), and to avoid harming living beings. We have Ethical Guidelines for people who are in a teaching role or leading Triratna activities - the full text of these is copied below..
We have policies on Child Protection and Adults with Safeguarding Needs, and Codes of Conduct for people on the Teaching Team - see policies below.
Many, many thanks to Shraddhabha, one of our volunteers, who has put lots of energy and love into the implementation of these policies, including organising and delivering awareness-raising sessions for our Teaching Team and others in the Shrewsbury Sangha.
