    [abstract] => This study examined the extent of school compliance with the Child Protection Policy (CPP) and its impact on school safety and resilience among secondary schools in the Schools Division Office (SDO) of Laguna. It specifically explored the relationship between compliance levels and various dimensions of school safety, including mental health support, physical security, health and wellness programs, risk assessment, social-emotional learning (SEL), and crisis preparedness. Additionally, it assessed school resilience by examining factors such as continuity of learning, stakeholder engagement, organizational morale, and community support. Using a Convergent Parallel Mixed-Methods design, the study integrated both quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a comprehensive analysis of policy implementation and its outcomes.
A total of 132 school heads or principals were selected as respondents through random and purposive sampling to ensure a representative and reliable sample. Quantitative data were gathered through structured surveys and analyzed using statistical methods to measure the extent of compliance, safety, and resilience levels across schools. Meanwhile, qualitative data from in-depth interviews provided deeper insights into implementation challenges, best practices, and areas for improvement regarding child protection policies and school safety measures.
Findings revealed that school compliance with CPP is significantly correlated with both school safety and resilience. Schools with a high level of compliance demonstrated stronger protective measures, enhanced crisis preparedness, improved student well-being initiatives, and better risk management strategies. Moreover, these schools were more resilient, effectively integrating child protection policies into their operational frameworks to ensure the sustainability of learning environments and institutional stability. 
The study also identified gaps and challenges in policy implementation, including resource constraints, inconsistent enforcement, and the need for more targeted training programs for school personnel. Ultimately, the study rejected the null hypothesis, confirming a significant relationship between compliance with CPP and both school safety and resilience outcomes.
A Monitoring Plan was developed to systematically track, assess, and enhance CPP implementation across secondary schools in the Division of Laguna. This plan focuses on continuous evaluation, compliance tracking, stakeholder collaboration, and real-time feedback mechanisms to ensure sustained adherence to child protection policies. Through its implementation, school heads can foster a safer, more adaptive, and well-protected educational environment for students, ensuring that child protection remains a priority in policy enforcement and school management.
This study underscores the importance of strengthening policy implementation, enhancing school monitoring systems, and investing in continuous training for school heads and educators. By reinforcing compliance with CPP, schools can improve their overall safety, resilience, and capacity to provide a secure and supportive learning environment for all students.
