WHAT IS A MEMBER PROTECTION INFORMATION OFFICER

​

A Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) is responsible for providing information about a person’s rights, responsibilities and options to an individual making a complaint or raising a concern. They can also provide information and advice to sport administrators and complaint handlers with regard to the Member Protection Policy of that sport.

​

MPIOs are generally impartial; they do not mediate or investigate complaints, you must ensure that should you have a complaint you follow the complaint flowchart.

​

​

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF AN MPIO TO SPORT?

​

The MPIO can play a key role in ensuring our sport is safe, fair and inclusive.

​

MPIOs do this through ensuring club people and administrators know their rights and responsibilities and ensuring policies that focus on member protection are being implemented. Such policies may include but are not limited to the complaints policy and procedures, child protection policies, harassment and discrimination policies.

 

For the upcoming season the Dragons are seeking a person/s willing to undertake the role and undergo  certification.
