Abstract DepEd Order no. 40, series of 2012, or Child Protection Policy provides the guidelines on safeguarding children from prohibited acts in schools. However, a gap exists on the teachers’ awareness and practices on this policy, resulting to its weak implementation. This study aimed to determine the Child Protection Policy Awareness and Practices among teachers in Libona Districts, Division of Bukidnon. Specifically, it provided information on the respondent’s profile, the level of teachers’ awareness and practices, the relationship of awareness and practices and the significant difference on the teacher’s profile and their practices on Child Protection Policy. The 173 public school elementary teachers of Libona Districts were identified as respondents using purposive sampling technique. Survey questionnaire serves as the main instrument in gathering the data. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and SD were used to describe the variables of this study, with Pearson (r) and t-test to analyze data.
Findings revealed that majority of the teachers are 31-40 years old, Teacher I, teaching for 21 years and above, teach Grade II learners, and earned Master’s degree units. They have high awareness and have highly practiced the Child Protection Policy. The significant relationship between the variables clearly indicates that teachers’ awareness on Child Protection Policy contributes to the teachers’ level of application in schools. This study concludes that both the awareness and practices of CPP contribute to a safe learning environment. It is recommended that school heads of Libona Districts should sustain the awareness of teachers on Child Protection Policy.
