The Impact of the Integration of Child Protection Policies on Student Well-Being

The study assessed the integration of child protection policies in public schools in Valencia City for 2024-2025, focusing on awareness, implementation effectiveness, responsiveness, training support, collaboration among stakeholders, and its impact on student well-being across several dimensions. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study gathered data from selected schools in the Valencia City Division. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the extent of policy integration and student well-being, while correlation and regression analyses were conducted to examine relationships between variables. The correlation analysis indicated no statistically significant relationship between overall policy integration and student well-being. However, awareness of child protection policies positively correlated with well-being, indicating informed students feel safer. Teacher training had no significant effect, emphasizing the need for active student engagement and stronger community collaboration to achieve better outcomes. These findings suggest that while child protection policies contribute to a structured and safe learning environment, other factors substantially shape student well-being. The study recommends prioritizing student awareness initiatives, enhancing stakeholder collaboration, and exploring holistic approaches to improving student welfare. Future research may consider additional factors influencing student well-being beyond policy implementation.
