520 _aAbstract This study assessed the level of teachers' awareness of the Child Protection Policy (CPP) and their responsiveness in implementing its provisions in public secondary schools in Sibulan, Negros Oriental. A descriptive-correlational design was employed, with 147 teachers and 1,470 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman's rank-order correlation, and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results showed that 71.43% of teachers had encountered at least one child protection case in the past five years, with bullying being the most frequently reported issue. Teachers demonstrated Very High awareness of the CPP and rated their responsiveness acroSs prevention, intervention, and disciplinary measures as Very High. Students similarly rated their teachers' responsiveness as Very High, although slight perceptual gaps were noted. Statistical analysis confirmeda significant positive correlation between awareness and responsiveness, indicating that greater knowledge of CPP provisions is associated with stronger child protection practices. While CPP implementation appears strong, the persistence of bullying cases highlights the need for ongoing training, systematic reporting improvements, and stronger support mechanisms to ensure the full realization of a safe learning environment. Keywords: advocacy programs, child protection issues, child protection policy, disciplinary measures, teachers' awareness, teachers' responsiveness
