Shambhala Child Protection Policy

Effective Date: February 26, 2020

In recognition of the increased need for transparency and responsibility with regard to protecting children in Shambhala Centers from harm, two groups in Shambhala International – the Code of Conduct Support group and the Director of Community Care and Conduct – have diligently worked to create a Child Protection Policy (CPP). This policy, which applies throughout Shambhala, is an essential measure to ensure that the growing minds and bodies of our children are respected, and that each child is protected from sexual abuse.

The Birmingham Shambhala Center endorses and abides by this policy.  The document of the policy along with FAQs can be accessed here:
