School heads, teachers, and guidance counselors—this one’s for you. Every school year, we face the challenge of not only teaching but also ensuring that our learners are safe, protected, and supported. The Department of Education (DepEd), through the Bureau of Learner Support Services–Learner Rights and Protection Division (BLSS-LRPD), is once again calling for the timely collection, consolidation, and validation of reported learner rights and protection (LRP) concerns.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Where do I get the right forms?” or “How do I submit my school’s report?”, this blog post will walk you through the process and give you direct access to the official links you need.
Because at the end of the day, accurate and complete data isn’t just paperwork—it’s the foundation for creating policies, programs, and interventions that safeguard our learners.
Why This Matters
Every reported incident, whether it’s bullying, child abuse, neglect, or children-at-risk (CAR), is a reflection of the challenges learners face in and out of school. By properly reporting and consolidating this data, schools help DepEd:
-
Shape effective policies and advocacy campaigns.
-
Strengthen child protection committees.
-
Develop programs that address real learner needs.
-
Ensure that no case is overlooked, dismissed, or ignored.
Think of it this way: the reports you submit today could influence the policies that protect tomorrow’s learners.

-
Number of incidents involving:

Step-by-Step Submission Guide
To make sure you don’t miss a thing, here’s a quick breakdown of the process:
-
Collect and Record incidents using the official School-Based Consolidation Data Sheet (Annex A–E).
-
Download here → School-Based Consolidation Data Sheet
-
-
Transfer Data from the sheet to the appropriate Google Form.
-
Submit Supporting Documents (incident/narrative reports, intervention plans, intake sheets, and referral documents).
-
Accomplish the Google Forms provided below, depending on your school level:
-
Kindergarten → Click here
-
Elementary → Click here
-
Junior High School → Click here
-
Senior High School → Click here
-
-
Submit on time—late or incomplete data can delay the entire process of protecting learners.
Who Is Responsible?
-
School Heads and Guidance Counselors – Collect, document, and ensure accuracy of all reported incidents.
-
Schools Division and Regional Offices (SDOs and ROs) – Consolidate and validate submitted data.
-
BLSS-LRPD Central Office – Consolidates, disaggregates, and analyzes national-level data for future policy-making.
Remember: Concealment of incidents is not only a violation of DepEd policies but also a disservice to learners who deserve protection.
Conclusion & Call-to-Action
The collection and consolidation of learner rights and protection concerns is more than compliance—it’s a commitment to every learner’s safety and well-being. By doing our part in submitting accurate and complete reports, we ensure that learners are not just educated but also truly protected.
So, school leaders and guidance advocates: download the forms, submit your reports, and make every entry count. Your role in this process could be the very thing that prevents the next case of violence, abuse, or neglect from being ignored.
