Description
The influence of child protection as a child friendly school benchmark on the management outcome in public primary schools has been of interest. Schools in Makueni County (Kenya) have had a share of reported cases of child insecurity with children having been physically violated within the school community; sometimes with corporal punishment cases by teachers to an alarming level. Therefore, in a study, a population of about 45,102 and a sample of 402 respondents provided data in a mixed methods triangulation research design which was collected in a survey method. The study findings established that, schools partially put in place and managed child protection measures as an important benchmark to strengthen management outcomes in CFS. Results from the study determined that there were established rules for visitors to identify themselves (82.1%), rules not to allow people under the influence of illicit drugs at school (85.5%), rules against bullying and corporal punishment (91.8%), not to allow pits in the school compound (65.5%) and buildings at school to be earthquake resistance (27.9%).
