In the study, total enumeration sampling was used. With this method, which is a deliberate sampling strategy, the researcher chooses to look at the entire population that possesses a particular set of traits. The Survey Questionnaire on Awareness and Implementation of the DepEd Child Protection Policy in Schools, created by Macatimpag (2018), was the tool used by the researcher.

The entirety of the kid protection policy was also put into practice. Finally, when creating plans, programs, and initiatives to develop instructors' capacities and raise teaching standards, the school may consider the highlighted features
