WINs PROTOCOLS
I. Implementation of WINs PROTOCOLS
The terms of the most recent Deped Order No. 10 s. 2016 applied to the
implementation of different activities recommendations for personal health
care and environmental sanitation through a set of standards for proper
and correct health practices in schools.
1. Set up available hand washing facilities with soap at the entrance of schools
(tippy taps, buckets with taps, group washing facilities) with sufficient water
taps that allow physical distance so that children, teachers, staff and visitors
can wash hands before entering school. Make sure that toilets have functional
handwashing facilities with soap and water.
2.Ensure water is available for handwashing, drinking, and other uses. If
inconsistent or inadequate water supply is a concern for the school, increase
the water storage capacity with the help of the community or ask children to
bring a bottle of water from home, if possible.
3.Calculate the need and ensure sufficient supply for consumable resources,
including: soap (bar or liquid), hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol
concentration, only if contextually relevant) and sodium hypochlorite for
cleaning/disinfecting (household bleach with the appropriate dilusion),
sponges, brooms and buckets, and protective equipment such as face
masks and gloves for cleaners.
4.Ensure regular cleaning and disinfecting according to national guidelines and
global recommendations. Calculate the time needed, ensure that staff for
cleaning and disinfecting is available and uses gloves and face masks.
Involve the Parents Teacher Association, community members and students
as needed and appropriate for cleaning. Ensure handwashing stations and
toilet facilities are usable and clean.
5.Ensure bins are located in classrooms, in toilet blocks and at strategic
locations on school grounds and are safely emptied daily using waste
management system.
6.Make sure children adhere to physical distancing as recommended by
national guidelines. Possible options are: Assign children to specific shifts,
stagger the beginning and end of the school days as well as during breaks,
create space between desks and paint or tape lines on the floor to
demonstrate physical distance at places where students line up or gather
(e.g., in front of toilets or washing stations).
7.Assign staff member(s) — teachers and staff like cleaners, guards, gardeners
or older students, community members and WASH clubs, etc. — to oversee
handwashing stations and toilets (availability of water and soap,
maintenance issues, handwashing behavior and compliance of rules for
physical distancing etc.).
8.Organize orientation for all teachers, non-teaching staff and community
members on WASH in Schools and Covid-19 and ensure that everyone
understands their specific role. Ensure teachers orient the learners, by using
age-appropriate hygiene promotion materials.
9.Introduce and ensure the use of checklists (including: date, time when
checked, name of responsible person) for teachers and non-teaching staff to
ensure routines are implemented daily. Specifically, introduce checklists for:
> School entrance (handwashing behavior, handwashing stations, water and
soap availability) > Classrooms (cleaning & disinfection protocol) > Toilets
and waste management
10. Establish a culture of hygiene in school and encourage hygiene behavior
change in the community. Emphasize that all teaching and non-teaching staff
are part of a team working to address pandemic preparedness and response
and make sure that education can move on and schools are clean and safe
places. Recognize individual WASH champions in school and community.
