From policy to practice: safeguarding the most vulnerable
It only seems a moment ago that I was confined during lockdown and working on the York Area Meeting safeguarding policy. But time goes on quickly and I see from my notes that it has been three years. This short article is an account of my personal journey with safeguarding and that of my team. I will try to provide a pen portrait of what we have learnt, what we have achieved and *spoiler alert* why I'm proud of it.
From policy to practice: safeguarding the most vulnerable
Why should we protest against DSEI?
In 2019, when I was 15, I attended a protest against the Defence and Security Equipment International arms fair (DSEI) alongside hundreds of peace activists, many of whom were Quakers. We gathered outside the ExCel centre in London to block the entrance, share art, sing, and hold meetings for worship in remembrance of the countless victims of war.

The human cost of war
The Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) arms fair – one of the world's largest – takes place every two years at the ExCel Centre in East London. Of the 67 countries that were invited to attend in 2019, 55 are named by Human Rights Watch as having committed abuses.

The climate can't afford the cost of war
It is impossible for me to imagine a sustainable society when we are still selling and exporting weapons and hosting large military equipment shows such as the DSEI Arms Fair.

Why I am still a pacifist
I became General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation in January of 2022, a role of service to the world's 400,000 or so Quakers, who collectively comprise one of the world's traditional peace churches.

Refusing to kill: conscription and conscience
On 24 January, the head of the British army, General Sir Patrick Sanders stated that the country should train a "citizen army" ready to fight a land war in the future. Prompted by the threat from Russia and similar steps being taken by other European nations, he warned that an increase in reserves forces alone would "not be enough", and a future conflict would have to be a "whole-of-nation-undertaking".

Grief and hope: marking two years of war in Ukraine
24 February marks two years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and this anniversary reminds us to take stock of the enormous toll the war has taken. As well as those who have suffered death, injury or displacement in the war, this anniversary I'll be holding in my heart those who are courageously objecting to participating in it, or working for peace and nonviolent resistance, often at great risk.

Witnessing for peace at Yearly Meeting
There are 110 armed conflicts currently happening across the world. Each will have its victims – the combatants, civilians, families, children, plus the impact on the economic, emotional and cultural life of the countries at war. Britain is not at war, but we too can see the effects of money spent on arms and of a mindset that war is a valid way of achieving aims.

Why, on this International Peace Day, we’re talking about climate justice
21 September marks the International Day of Peace and the start of the first ever Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice; an initiative which Quakers in Britain have been coordinating with an international network of organisations. This year, peace and climate justice movements will be coming together in recognition of their shared vision of a world in which human and natural life can thrive.

The ones who are forgotten on Remembrance Day
It's said that truth is the first victim of war. If that's so, then close on truth's heels is a second victim: the right not to take part in it.
