Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO)
As the primary point of contact for member protection enquiries, the MPIO should demonstrate approachability, strong communication skills, and a comprehensive understanding of the club’s structure, committee, policies, child safeguarding practices, and requirements such as the Working with Children Check. Many clubs now have multiple MPIOs to provide a greater level of support to members.
