Member Protection Information Officer

(MPOI)

 

 

What is an MPIO? 

A Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) is a designated person within a Diving club, National Sporting Organisation (NSO), or at events who provides information and guidance to individuals with concerns or complaints. They act as a neutral resource, separate from complaint investigations or mediations. 

What do MPIOs do? 

  • Provide information about member rights, responsibilities, and available options. 
  • Guide individuals through the appropriate channels for raising concerns or filing complaints. 
  • Increase awareness of policies related to member protection, safeguarding children, and preventing harassment and discrimination. 

Why are MPIOs important for diving ? 

MPIOs play a crucial role in fostering a safe, fair, and inclusive environment within diving. By ensuring everyone understands their rights and responsibilities, MPIOs contribute to the implementation of effective member protection policies.
