MPIO Training Part 2 (October 22, 6pm-8pm)

Member Protection Information Officers (MPIOs) play an important role in sport, especially grassroots sport. MPIOs are there to listen to issues raised by members and provide information about a person's rights, responsibilities and options to resolve a complaint or issue arising under relevant member protection and child safeguarding policies.

SESSION OVERVIEW

Supported by the Victorian Government, this interactive on-line workshop is the second part of the MPIO training package. Participants will have completed the online component, which can be found at Sport Integrity Australia eLearning, prior to this workshop.

The workshop brings in additional skills in listening and responding to complaints and provides opportunities to put your skills into practice through practical scenarios.

This session is targeted to Victorian MPIOs who play a role in sport, especially at the grassroots level of sport.

The learning objectives are:

• Identify your sport’s child safeguarding and member protection policies and relevant complaint handling contacts.
• Explain the responsibilities of a Member Protection Information Officer in a sporting organisation.
• Utilise skills in listening, decision making and trauma-informed practice.
• Identify if a matter raised is a potential breach of your organisation’s policy.
• Advise on options available to participants who have witnessed or experienced a potential breach of prohibited conduct.
• Advise on activities clubs can take to promote safe, fair and inclusive sport.

The MPIO training workshops will be run by Morgan Lander, an independent representative on the National Reference Group for Play By The Rules who has also assisted Sport Australia in child safe risk management, complaint handling and member protection since 2011. He is an independent MPIO for various National and State Sporting Organisations and has completed the review to refresh the National MPIO Part #2 training package.
