    IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES ON CHILD
    PROTECTION AND ANTI-BULLYING

    I. INTRODUCTION

    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 (Article XV, Section 3).

    San Juan Elementary School, together with the Department of Education,


    recognizes that cases of abuse and bullying against school children may arise as
    a result of the difficult situations faced by co-pupils, teachers and other officials
    within and outside the school. In lieu of DepEd Order No. 40 s. 2012 and
    Republic Act No. 10627 (An Act Requiring All Elementary and Secondary
    Schools to Adopt Policies to Prevent and Address the Acts of Bullying in
    Their Institutions), this School has adopted the policy and guidelines 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.

    With this guideline, San Juan Elementary School reiterates a zero tolerance
    policy for any act of child abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying,
    and other forms of abuse.

    II. OBJECTIVES

    This guideline focuses on the following objectives:

    1. To create a school guiding principle which encourages students to disclose


    and discuss incidents of abuse bullying behavior by the school head,
    teachers, staff, and pupils;

    2. To raise awareness of bullying and any form of abuse as an unacceptable


    form of behavior with school management, teachers, students,
    parents/guardians;

    3. To create a school ethos that acknowledges, accommodates and respects


    a diversity of learners with regard to physical, mental, emotional, and
    economic factors;

    4. To ensure that the school’s Social, Personal and Health Education program
    raises awareness of the factors associated with child abuse and bullying
    behavior and develops appropriate knowledge, skills and behaviors;

    5. To take practical actions to prevent incidents of abuse and bullying


    behavior e.g. to ensure comprehensive supervision and monitoring
    measures through which all areas of school activity are kept under
    observation;

    6. To develop procedures for reporting and recording incidents of abuse and


    bullying behavior;

    7. To develop procedures for investigating and dealing with incidents of abuse


    and bullying behavior;

    8. To develop a program of support for those affected by any kind of abuse


    and bullying behavior and those involved in aforementioned cases; and

    9. To work with, and through, the various local agencies in countering all
    forms of abuse, bullying and anti-social behavior.

    A. PROCEDURES IN HANDLING BULLYING INCIDENTS

    1. In any case where it has been determined by the classroom teacher that
    bullying behavior has occurred:

    1.1 The parents of the parties involved should be contacted at an early


    stage to inform them of the matter and shall be immediately reported to
    the principal and he/she will be the one to meet with the parents of the
    offended and the offender.

    1.2 The victim and the offending child shall be referred to the Child
    Protection Committee for counseling and other interventions.

    1.3 The penalty of reprimand shall be imposed by the Principal in the


    presence of the parents or guardians.
    1.4 If bullying occurred for second or subsequent time, after the offending
    child has received counseling or other interventions, the penalty of

    Principal. During the period of suspension, the offending child together
    with his/her parents or guardian will be required to attend further
    counseling.

    2. If the bullying resulted in serious physical injuries or death, the case shall
    be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Republic Act 9344 and its
    implementing rules and procedures:

    2.1The child and the parents or guardians must be informed of the

    exclusion, or expulsion. His/Her decision should be in writing, stating
    the facts and reasons for his/her decision. However, the said decision
    may be appealed.

    B. RULES AND PROCEDURES IN HANDLING CHILD ABUSE, EXPLOITATION,


    VIOLENCE, DISCRIMINATION CASES

    1. The following acts are prohibited and shall be penalized in administrative


    proceedings as Grave or Simple Misconduct depending on the gravity of
    the act and its consequences:

    a. Child abuse;

    b. Discrimination against children;

    c. Child exploitation;

    d. Violence against children in school;

    e. Corporal punishment; and

    f. Any analogous and similar acts.

    2. Upon the receipt of the complaint, the Principal must forward the said
    complaint within forty-eight hours (48 hrs.) to the Disciplining Authority for
    the conduct of a fact-finding investigation. The aforementioned time frame
    must be strictly observed, except when justified by circumstances beyond
    his/her control.
    3. If a complaint is not sufficient in form, the Principal shall immediately inform
    the complainant of the requirements of a formal complaint.

    a result of the abuse. The offender shall likewise undergo psychosocial
    intervention.
