KREASI Ketapang held a Workshop on Developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the School-level Tim Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan (TPPK) for primary schools (SD/MI) on 13–14 October 2025 in Ketapang.
The workshop aimed to strengthen the child protection ecosystem in education settings, with a focus on building the capacity of TPPK and encouraging the development of effective and integrated SOPs for responding to violence.
The main resource person, Muhammad Taufik Firdaus, emphasized that the SOP being developed is not merely an administrative document, but a technical instrument for implementing violence prevention and response in schools.
“The fundamental aspects (such as the Education System Law and the 1945 Constitution) cannot be implemented through regulations alone; it is important to understand the technical instruments for implementation,” said Taufik.
The development of the TPPK SOP was guided by several core principles, including legal certainty and accountability, non-discrimination and inclusion, as well as confidentiality and data protection.
A key focus was adopting the principle of restorative justice, a handling approach that prioritizes repair and restoring relationships, and avoids retributive responses, with the diversion process (settlement outside the court through deliberation) as a primary consideration.
During the workshop, TPPK members acting as the drafting team discussed in detail the structure of the SOP, starting from the legal basis, procedures for prevention and case handling, referral mechanisms to specialist services, and safeguards for perpetrators, victims, and witnesses.
KREASI Kalimantan Barat Program Manager, Julni Rahmawan, confirmed the successful completion of the workshop.
“Alhamdulillah, today is the last day, which means we have completed the process of drafting the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the Tim Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan (TPPK). This SOP has been finalized,” said Julni.
The workshop produced three key outcomes:
- Finalization of the TPPK SOP document: producing a draft school-level TPPK SOP, complementing the safeguarding documents that have also been finalized.
- Adoption of restorative justice: the SOP clearly adopts a restorative justice approach, avoiding traumatic retributive judicial processes.
- Advocacy for local regulation: the TPPK SOP document will be brought forward and coordinated through the district education office to be advocated as a formal local regulation in Ketapang Regency, such as a Regent Regulation (Peraturan Bupati).
Julni Rahmawan expressed hope that this document will not only be stored, but will serve as a permanent reference and an important supporting document for academic studies if the SOP is later adopted as a regional regulation.
This initiative is expected to ensure that TPPK in intervention schools can carry out their duties effectively, and to help secure recognition of TPPK responsibilities as an additional workload for teachers and education personnel.
