For teachers & schools

A trusted adult. A turning point.

You may be the first person a child tells. A calm response and a clear referral can make a difference.

Start with the essentials Know it. Talk about it. Act.
A safer world starts with us.
01

Notice

Withdrawal, absences or peer conflict online can be a reason to check in privately.

02

Listen & document

Record facts and dates, without blame or rumor. Keep the child’s information private.

03

Refer

Follow your school’s CPC process. Threats, exploitation or immediate danger need help today.

01Classroom / staff-room warning signs
  • Sudden withdrawal, shame, or fear around devices
  • Peer conflict that spills from group chats into school
  • Mentions of threats, “they have photos,” or unknown online adults
  • Sleepiness, absences, or grade drops tied to night-time online use
  • Students who ask quietly who they can tell “without getting in trouble”
02CPC referral path
  • Document what was observed (facts, dates) — not rumors.
  • Refer to the school Child Protection Committee (CPC) per school policy.
  • Inform caregivers with care; share the parent script.
  • If critical (threats, sextortion, unknown adult contact, self-harm talk) → escalate the same day to Bantay Bata 163 / PNP-ACG (02) 8414-1560 and follow Report.
03When to call PNP-ACG vs school process
  • School CPC first: peer cyberbullying, classroom conflict, policy breaches without immediate danger.
  • Call 911 for imminent harm. Contact PNP-ACG for blackmail, sexual exploitation indicators or unknown adults pressuring a minor.
