Abstract This study assessed the implementation of the DepEd Child Protection Policy (CPP) in public elementary schools in Aparri South and East Districts for the 2023-2024 school year. Using a descriptive-comparative design, the study surveyed teachers and school heads on their awareness, practices, and compliance with the policy. Findings indicated that teachers are highly aware and implement the policy effectively, though challenges persist. The study recommends enhanced training for teachers, regular monitoring by school leaders, and increased parental involvement to improve policy enforcement and ensure a safer school environment for students. Keywords: Child Protection Policy (CPP), public elementary schools, policy implementation, teacher awareness, school compliance
