As a school structure, the Child Protection Committee (CPC) serves a vital role in ensuring that schools continue to be safe spaces for all learners. Via this eLearning course elaborated in partnership between the Department of Education - Child Protection Unit and Stairway Foundation, we hope the CPC's get to better understand their mandates and functions under the various policy issuances related to child protection. We also hope attendees of this course gain inspiration to continue upholding their commitment towards ensuring that every child in our schools continue to be protected from all forms of abuse and exploitation.

- To enhance the knowledge and awareness of the participants on the various child protection concerns that learners might face.
- To build familiarity and awareness on the various DepEd policies and issuances related to child protection.
- To clarify the roles and responsibilities of the School Based Child Protection Committee.
