The Status of the Anti – Bullying Policy of MSU – LNCAT Campus: Basis for an Intervention Plan

The study sought to find out the status of the anti – bullying policy of MSU – LNCAT campus. Specifically, this study answered the questions; what are the profiles of the respondents in terms of age, gender and length of service; what is the status of the anti – bullying policy of the campus in terms of types of bullying inside the campus, and school strategies; and is there a need for an intervention program? It used the descriptive-survey method of research. A questionnaire was the primary tool used in gathering data. The respondents of the study were the Junior High School Department employees. In analyzing the data that were gathered, the frequency count and simple percentage were used to determine the profiles and observations of the respondents.
The results disclosed that majority of the respondents revealed that the social bullying, verbal bullying, and physical bullying existed in the campus. Moreover, majority of the respondents confirmed that the school organized strategies such as promote students’ awareness of their rights; establish and enforce clear and fair rules on bullying and involve students, teachers and parents in the school response; encourage bystanders to take immediate action, such as speaking up and reporting the incident; and provide a means for students to report bullying confidentially. Then, it suggested that the Anti-Bullying Policy of the campus had to be strengthened. The faculty had to be educated on the Anti – Bullying Methods to prevent the existing bullying in the campus. The level of awareness of the stakeholders had to be increased to stop bullying. And an intervention program was highly recommended to address the existing bullying.
