The CPP capacitates teaching and nonteaching personnel in DepEd, as well as relevant stakeholders in basic education, to understand and implement the policies, principles, concepts, processes and practices on child rights, including child protection, and to uphold and promote these rights and the well-being of school children. 3. The Guidelines are also aligned with DO 012, s. 2020 or the Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan for School Year 2020-2021 in Light of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, which states that different learning delivery modalities are utilized to ensure that all learners have access to quality education, while also ensuring the health and safety of all DepEd personnel and learners, and the general public during the pandemic. 4. __ The PSF shall be downloaded to all DepEd regional offices and may further be downloaded to the schools division offices. 5.

DepEd Order (DO) No. 40, s. 2012 or the DepEd Child Protection Policy (CPP) reiterates a zero-tolerance policy for any act of child abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying and other forms of abuse. 2. Towards this end, the CPP mandates the conduct of information and ‘education campaigns and capacity-building activities on the prevention of child abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying and other forms of abuse, ‘whether online or offline, promotion of positive and non-violent discipline, conflict resolution and peer mediation for DepEd teaching and non-teaching personnel, students and learners, parents and guardians to understand and implement the cpp. 3. Further, pursuant to DO 012, s. 2020 or the Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) for School Year 2020-2021 in Light of the COVID- 19 Public Health Emergency, different learning delivery modalities (LDM) are being implemented by DepEd. These LDMs include distance learning through online learning, modular learning, TV/radio-based instruction, blended learning, or homeschooling. Face-to-face learning is not an option until it is safe for everyone. ‘As such, all learners are undergoing home-based learning or homeschooling until further notice. 4. Under the BE-LCP, parents, guardians and caregivers have a more pronounced role in the education of learners during the COVID-19 pandemic as learners undertake home-based learning. Parents, guardians and caregivers have become learning fecilitatora for their children, regardless of the LDM being implemented. Parents, guardians, and caregivers need support to ensure that they ‘understand, internalize, and practice preventive, protective and remedial measures against all forms of abuse and violence upon children, including the use of positive discipline in education. 5. Moreover, with online learning as an LDM under the BE-LCP, learners may be more exposed to risks such as cyberbullying and online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC). The Office of Cybercrime of the Department of Justice, citing the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, reported that there were almost 280,000 cases of OSAEC from March 1 to May 24, 2020, a 264 percent increase from the number of reports from the previous year. 6. __ Studies conducted even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic also show that the incidence of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, as well as peer and cyber violence among children in the Philippines, has been increasing, thereby calling for urgent action and solutions. The 2015 National Baseline Study on Violence Against Children undertaken by the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) and UNICEF- " Benjamin Pulte, “Online chil expoitason report in PH murge amid COVID-19: DOM", Pilippine Mews May 25,2020, available at acoeaaed on October 10, 2020. Page 3 0f 15Philippines shows that 3 in 5 children reported experiencing any form of physical violence in various settings, with more than half occurring in the home. Others were reported to have occurred in school, in the community, and when dating. Similarly, 3 in 5 children reported experiencing any form of peychologicel violence in any ‘setting, but frequently occurring at home, and a considerable number taking place in school, in the community, and when dating. Sexual abuse was also reported by 1 in 4 children to have occurred at home, in school, and in the community. The 2015 study also observed that cyber violence is a growing concer in the Philippines, with 1 in 2 children reporting to have had experienced cyberviolence through verbal abuse on the internet or mobile phone, being shown sexual materials, being sent sexual messages, and having their nude body or sexual activities shown on the internet or mobile phone.? 7. _ Given the altered landscape of education brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to ensure that DepEd personnel and parents, guardians and caregivers are properly informed, educated and capacitated to adapt to the new reality. ‘Child rights issues, especially child protection, take on different forms under this altered landscape. 8. For parents, guardians, and caregivers, in particular, a mechanism to assist and support them in performing their roles as learning facilitators while upholding the rights of their children in education, including the right to protection, is the provision of capacity-building interventions and information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on child rights, such as those pertaining to positive parenting and discipline in education as well as online safety measures, which were developed by external partners of DepEd, or through collaboration between DepEd and its external partners. These materials, which all aim to uphold the best interest of the child, may be disseminated electronically or through other means, including distribution in printed format, along with printed self-learning modules (SLM), to the learner’ households. The IEC materials are ready for printing, reproduction and distribution. 9. _ The capacity-building activities and dissemination, printing and distribution of IEC materials are in compliance with DO 40, s. 2012, particularly: (i) Section 5{A) which states that ROs are mandated to encourage and support advocacy campaigns and capability-building activities on the prevention of child abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying, and other forms of abuse, promotion of the use of positive and non-violent discipline, and peer mediation and conflict resolution; and (i) Section 6(A), which states that the echools division offices (SDOs) shall conduct information-dissemination activities and in-service training for teachers on the protection of children in school from abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying or peer abuse and other related cases, and Section 6(B), which states that SDOs shall undertake advocacy campaigns and capability building activities to enable the school to apply positive and non-violent discipline, among others. I, SCOPE OF THE POLICY 10. These Guidelines shall cover the release, use, reporting, and monitoring and evaluation of program support funds (PSF) for information, education and communication materials and capacity-building activities for SY 2020-2021 on child 2 National Baseine Study on Violence Aguinat Children (2015), pp. 9-10.

Further, pursuant to DO 012, s. 2020 or the Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) for School Year 2020-2021 in Light of the COVID-J9 Public Health Emergency, differept Jearning ddtivery modalities (LPM) are being impletnented by DepEd. LDMs include distance learning through online learning, modular learning, ‘TV/radio-based instruction, blended learning, or homeschooling. Face-to- face learning is not an option until it is safe for everyone. As such, all learners are undergoing home-based learning or homeschooling until farther notice. Under the BE-LCP, parents, guardians and caregivers have a more Pronounced role in the education of leamers during the COVID-19 pandemic as learners undertake home-based learning. Parents, guardians and caregivers have become learning facilitators for their children, regardiess of the LDM being implemented. Parents, guardians, ‘and caregivers need support to ensure that they understand, internalize, and practice preventive, protective and remedial measures against all forms of abuse and violence upon children, including the use of positive discipline in education. Moreover, with online learning as an LDM under the BE-LCP, learners may be more exposed to risks such as cyberbullying and online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC).

Child rights issues, especially child protection, take on different forms under this altered landscape. For parents, guardians, and caregivers, in particular, a mechanism to assist and support them in performing their roles as learning facilitators while upholding the rights of their children in education, including the Tight to protection, is the provision of capacity-building interventions and information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on child Tights, such as those pertaining to positive parenting and discipline in education as well as online safety measures, which were developed by external partners of DepEd, or through collaboration between DepEd and its external partners. These materials, which all aim to uphold the best interest of the child, may be disseminated electronically or through other means, including distribution in printed format, along with printed self- learning modules (SLMs), to the learners’ households. The IEC materials are ready for printing, reproduction and distribution. The capacity-building activities and dissemination, printing and distribution of IEC materials are in compliance with DO 40, s. 2012, Particularly: () Section S(A) which states that ROs are mandated to encourage and support advocacy campaigns and capability-building activities on the prevention of child abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying, and other forms of abuse, promotion of the use of positive and non-violent discipline, and peer mediation and conflict resolution; and (ii) Section 6(A), which states that the schools division offices (SDOs) shall conduct information-dissemination activities and in- service training for teachers on the protection of children in school from abuse, violence, exploitation, discrimination, bullying or peer abuse and other related cases, and Section 6{B), which states that SDOs shall undertake advogaey campaigns and gapability building agtivities to enable REQUIREMENTS ‘the school to and not others. ‘Code ‘Name of Activity ‘Amount ‘KE-20-Usex- Downloading of Program 434,000.00 Legal-CPP-POO3 ‘Support Funds for ‘AC-20-Usec- 11/01/2020- | For downloading: Legal-CPP-POO3 | - | 12/31/2020 ‘AC-20-Usec- ‘Legal-LEGAL-Direct payment: 0.00 Issuance of SARO for downloading of program support funds to the Regional Officea for capacity-building activities and printing of materials on Child Rights, Child Protection, and Positive Discipline in Education. ‘ANNEXES: 1.
