Member Protection Information
Meet Lyn Pearson
Our Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO)
​
​
Lyn is the first point of contact in the club if you have any
concerns or complaints about harassment or abuse.
The MPIO provides confidential information and moral support
to the person with the concern or who is alleging harassment.
The MPIO is responsible to the Executive Committee and
club members.
The MPIO will:
• Take confidential notes about the complaint;
• Try to find out the facts of the problem;
• Ask what outcome/how the complainant wants the problem
resolved
and whether you feel you need support;
• Provide possible options for the complainant to resolve the problem;
• Act as a support person if the complainant so wishes;
• Refer the complainant to an appropriate person (e.g. Mediator) to help them resolve the problem, if
necessary;
• Inform the relevant government authorities and/or police if required by law to do so;
• Maintain confidentiality.
​
Lyn can be contacted in person or by email mpio@geelongarchers.com.au
