10.1 Informal complaint resolution procedure If a complainant makes an approach to MA, a full member, a club or a person within these organisations, it is desirable that the complainant also seeks the advice of a MPIO who will: 1. Listen to the complainant in an empathetic, supportive manner; 2. Inform the complainant about their possible options; 3. Act as a support person for the complainant, including supporting them through any mediation process if the complainant wishes; 4. Keep the matter confidential; 5. Inform the relevant government authority, if required by law; and 6. Consult by seeking advice from the relevant state or territory authority that administers the relevant law. A complainant may seek to try and resolve the complaint by mediation in accordance with Clause 10.4. If, following this information complaint procedure, the complaint is not resolved informally, the complainant may make a formal complaint to the CEO of MA. Nothing in this policy prevents the complainant taking action under State or Federal legislation. It is not necessary to provide a written complaint under this clause. 10.2 Vexatious complaints & victimisation MA aims to ensure our complaints procedure has integrity and is free of unfair repercussions or victimisation. If at any point in the complaint process the MPIO considers that a complainant has knowingly made an untrue complaint or the complaint is vexatious or malicious, the matter may be referred to the Board or a judicial committee appointed by the Board for appropriate action which may include disciplinary action against the complainant. MA will also take all necessary steps to make sure that people involved in a complaint are not victimised by anyone for coming forward with a complaint or for helping to sort it out. Disciplinary measures will be imposed on anyone who victimises another person for making a complaint. 10.3 Mediation MA aims to sort out complaints with the minimum of fuss wherever possible. In many cases, complaints can be sorted out by agreement between the people involved with no need for disciplinary action. The people involved in a formal complaint - the complainant and the person complained about (respondent) - may also seek the assistance of a neutral third person or a mediator. Lawyers are not able to negotiate on behalf of the complainant and/or respondent. 252 enjoy the ride Mediation may occur either before or after an investigation of a complaint. If a complainant wishes to try and resolve the complaint with the assistance of a mediator, the MPIO will, in consultation with the complainant, arrange for a mediator to mediate the complaint. 10.3 Tribunals A hearings tribunal may be formed to hear a formal complaint that has been referred by MPIO, or an alleged breach of the policy. MA’s tribunal hearings procedure is outlined in clause 16 of the MA constitution and in Chapter 6 of these GCRs. There is no appeal in respect of a decision of a hearing tribunal. The decision of the hearing tribunal is final and binding on the people involved in the hearing. Every organisation bound by this policy will recognise and enforce any decision made, and form of discipline imposed, by an appeals tribunal under this policy. 11. breaches of this Member protection policy It is a breach of this policy for any person or organisation to which this policy applies, to have been found to have: 1. Done anything contrary to this policy, 2. Breached the code of conduct, 3. Brought MA into disrepute, 4. Failed to follow MA policies and procedures for the protection, safety and welfare of children, 5. Appointed or continued to appoint a person to a role that involves working with children and young people contrary to this policy, 6. Discriminated against or harassed any person, 7. Victimised another person for reporting a complaint, 8. Engaged in a sexually inappropriate relationship with a person that the person supervises, or has influence, authority or power over, 9. Disclosed to any unauthorised person or organisation any MA information that is of a private, confidential or privileged nature, 10. Made a complaint they knew to be untrue, vexatious, malicious or improper, 11. Failed to comply with a penalty imposed after a finding that the individual or organisation has breached this policy, or 12. Failed to comply with a direction given to the individual or organisation during the discipline process. 2008 MANUAL OF MOTORCYCLE SPORT
12. Forms of discipline If an individual or organisation to which this policy applies breaches this policy, 1 or more forms of discipline may be imposed. These may include making a verbal or written apology, paying a fine, being suspended or de-registered or having a person’s appointment or employment terminated. More information on the range of disciplinary measures and the factors that will be considered before imposing discipline is included in the MA Constitution and these GCRs. 13. definitions This Clause sets out the meaning of words used in this policy and its attachments without limiting the ordinary and natural meaning of the words. State/Territory specific definitions and more detail on some of the words in this dictionary can be sourced from the relevant State/Territory child protection commissions or Equal Ppportunity and Anti-discrimination Commissions. Abuse is a form of harassment and includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and abuse of power. Examples of abusive behaviour include bullying, humiliation, verbal abuse and insults. Child abuse relates to children at risk of harm (usually by adults, sometimes by other children) and often by those they know and trust. It can take many forms. Children may be harmed by both verbal and physical actions and by people failing to provide them with basic care. Child abuse may include: • Physical abuse by hurting a child or a child’s development (e.g. hitting, shaking or other physical harm; giving a child alcohol or drugs; giving bad nutritional advice; or training that exceeds the child’s development or maturity). • Sexual abuse by adults or other children where a child is encouraged or forced to watch or engage in sexual activity or where a child is subject to any other inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature (e.g. sexual intercourse, masturbation, oral sex, pornography including child pornography or inappropriate touching or conversations). • Emotional abuse by ill-treating a child (e.g. humiliation, taunting, sarcasm, yelling, negative criticism, name calling, ignoring or placing unrealistic expectations on a child). • Neglect (e.g. failing to give food, water, shelter or clothing or to protect a child from danger or foreseeable risk of harm or injury). Complaint means a complaint made under clause 10 of this policy. Complainant means the person making a complaint. Constitution means the Constitution of MA in force from time to time. Discrimination means treating or proposing to treat someone less favourably than someone else because of a particular characteristic in the same or similar circumstancesin certain areas of public life (this is direct discrimination). The law also covers indirect discrimination. This is imposing or intending to impose an unreasonable requirement, condition or practice that is the same for everyone, but which has an unequal or disproportional effect on individuals or groups with particular characteristics. The characteristics covered by discrimination law across Australia are: • Age, • Disability, • Family/carer responsibilities, • Gender identity/transgender status, • Homosexuality and sexual orientation, • Irrelevant medical record, • Irrelevant criminal record, • Physical features, • Political belief/activity, • Pregnancy and breastfeeding, • Race, • Religious belief/activity, • Sex or gender, • Social origin, • Trade Union membership/activity, Some States & Territories include additional characteristics. Discrimination is not permitted in the areas of employment (including volunteer and unpaid employment); the provision of goods and services; the selection or otherwise of any person for competition or a team (domestic or international); the entry or otherwise of any player or other person to any competition; obtaining or retaining membership of an organisation (including the rights and privileges of membership). Requesting, assisting, instructing, inducing or encouraging another person to engage in discrimination may also be discriminatory conduct. Member means any member recognised as such under the MA constitution. Harassment is any type of behaviour that the other person does not want and does not return and that is offensive, abusive, belittling or threatening. The behaviour is unwelcome and of a type that a reasonable person would recognise as being unwelcome and likely to cause the recipient to feel offended, humiliated or intimidated. 2008 MANUAL OF MOTORCYCLE SPORT enjoy the ride appendix 3 member protection policy 253
