I. RATIONALE :
The Department Order shall be known as the “ DepEd Child Protection Policy.”
Pursuant to the 1987 Constitution, the State shall defend the right of children to
assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of
neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and other conditions prejudicial to their
development (Acticle XV, Section 3(2).
The Constitution further provides that all educational institutions shall inculcate
patriotism and nationalism, foster love of humanity, respect for human rights,
appreciation of the role of national heroes in the historical development of the country,
teach the rights and duties of citizenship, strengthen ethical and spiritual values
develop moral character and personal discipline, encourage critical and creative
thinking, broaden scientific and technological knowledge, and promote vocational
efficiency. (Article XIV, Section 3(2).
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) aims to protect children from
all forms of physical or mental violence, injury and abuse, neglect or negligent
treatment, maltreatment and exploitation, including sexual abuse. The same convention
establishes the right of the child to education, and with a view to achieving this right
progressively, and on the basis of equal opportunity, it obliges the government to take
measures to encourage regular attendance in school and reduce drop-out rates. Thus, it
is mandated that all appropriate measures be undertaken to ensure that school
discipline is administered in a manner consistent with the child’s human dignity, and in
conformity with the CRC.
Towards this end, the Department of Education (DepEd), in collaboration with

its partners and stakeholders, shall ensure that all schools are conducive to the
education of children. The best interest of the child shall be the paramount
consideration in all decision and actions involving children, whether undertaken by
public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities,
and legislative bodies, consistent with the principle of First Call for Children, as
enunciated in the CRC. Teachers and learning facilitators especially in learning centers
are their substitute parents, and are expected to discharge their functions and duties
with this in mind. In this connection, the Family Code empowers the school, its
administrators and teachers, or the individual, entity or institution engaged in child
care to exercise the special parental authority and responsibility over the child, while
under their supervision, instruction or custody.
The Department recognizes that cases of abuse may arise as a result of the
difficult situations faced by teachers and other officials within and outside school.
DepEd has adopted the policy to provide special protection to children who are
gravely threatened or endangered by circumstances which affect their normal
development and over which they have no control, and to assist the concerned agencies
in their rehabilitation.
Furthermore, the Department aims to ensure such special protection from all
forms of abuse and exploitation and care as is necessary for the child’s well-being,
taking into account the primary rights and duties of parents, legal guardians, or other
individuals who are legally responsible and exercise custody over the child. DepEd
recognizes the participatory rights of the child in the formulation and implementation
of policies, and in all proceedings affecting them, whether they be victims or aggressors,
either directly, or through a representative.
Accordingly, the Department reiterates a zero tolerance policy for any act of
child abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying and other forms of abuse,
and hereby promulgates the Department Order.
II. OBJECTIVES:
 To provide an opportunity to explore values in relation to child abuse.
 To provide basic child protection information for education staff.
