Data and Privacy Requirements

October 15, 2025

Head Start programs collect, analyze, share and use data that provide key program information to management and staff, the governing body and policy council.  This information is critical to effective decision-making, governance, program administration, eligibility and recruitment, service delivery and case-management.  Because collected data includes sensitive private confidential information on children, families and staff, program regulations require appropriate privacy, confidentiality and security policies and procedures. The Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) mandate adequate data management, including privacy protection requirements in 45 C.F.R. Part 1303, Subpart C and recently adopted cybersecurity internal control standards in the Uniform Guidance. Don’t know where to start? Join Feldesman for this webinar in which we will discuss: 

  • What constitutes personally identifiable information (PII) 
  • The general rule requiring parental consent for disclosure of PII and the exceptions to that rule 
  • Important procedures to include in your data management policy, including best practices for cybersecurity internal controls 
  • Strategies for enhancing confidentiality (e.g., using data security agreements) 

Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Head Start Training Package holders. For more information on our Head Start Training Package, click here or contact us.

The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase one week after the conclusion of the live webinar.
