<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Prevention and Handling of Violence Team (Tim Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan/TPPK) in addressing violence within educational institutions in Bengkulu City. The research is grounded in the increasing incidence of violence against children in schools, as reported by the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) and the SIMFONI-PPA system, which recorded more than 800 cases in 2023 and continued to increase in 2024. The government responded to this condition through Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Permendikbudristek) Number 46 of 2023, which mandates the establishment of TPPK in every school; however, its implementation has not yet been fully optimal. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and questionnaires administered to school principals, guidance and counseling teachers, and junior high school students in Bengkulu City. The data were further strengthened through interviews with the Bengkulu City Education Office and the PUPA Bengkulu Foundation. The findings indicate that TPPK has been established in approximately 80% of public schools and 40% of private schools. Although the institutional structure complies with regulatory provisions, the implementation of duties and coordination remain constrained by limited training and human resource capacity. Overall, the effectiveness of TPPK is categorized as moderately effective but not yet optimal, indicating the need for capacity strengthening, secure reporting systems, and enhanced multi-stakeholder collaboration.]]>
