Safe Spaces in Action: DepEd XI Establishes LRP Desks and Learner Support Centers for 2026 DAVRAA

Prioritizing the holistic well-being of student-athletes, DepEd Region XI has officially established Learner Rights and Protection (LRP) Desks and Learner Support Centers throughout the 2026 DAVRAA Meet. These Support Centers serve as a vital Safe Space, offering athletes a sanctuary where they can rest, play, read, and access professional counseling after the physical and mental demands of competition. To ensure comprehensive coverage, LRP Desks are stationed at every billeting quarter in close coordination with Provincial Government Agencies, facilitating 24/7 assistance and advocacy.

This initiative is backed by rigorous, ongoing monitoring of all playing venues and quarters across every division. A key component of this oversight is the identification and documentation of Best Practices from each division, creating a collaborative knowledge base that can be shared region-wide for future adoption. By bridging immediate support with long-term systemic improvement, DepEd XI ensures that the environment remains secure, supportive, and conducive to the peak performance and mental health of every learner-athlete.
