ForwardHead Start Risk Management
Head Start programs face new operational risks and vulnerabilities as they decide whether or not to reopen or remain virtual this fall. This one-and-a-half day risk assessment training will walk through a series of questions to assess whether a program's written policies adequately handle key risks caused by the pandemic.
On Day 1, leading Head Start attorneys will review six areas related to operations during COVID-19 and will present the reasons why and how these areas pose specific risks. Utilizing a risk assessment tool, the presenters will teach attendees how to conduct an organizational self-assessment and determine whether a policy may need an update. Following an internal review, participants will gather for a half day to discuss questions and concerns after using the tool and to examine any gaps in written policies and how to address them.
The following topics will be covered:
- Technology and Information Systems
- Training and Professional Development
- Record Keeping and Reporting
- Emergency Preparedness/Health & Safety
- Human Resource Requirements
- Fiscal Management
A choice to continue virtual operations or reopen in the fall will place a stress on Head Start management systems and services. Attend this training to become better equipped now to assess and consider policies and situations that will impact the 2020-2021 programming year.
Target Audience
- Head Start Leadership, including CEOs, COOs, CMOs
- Executive Directors / Head Start Program Directors
- CFOs, Finance Managers, and Finance Department Personnel
- Program Officers

- Understand the importance of risk mitigation using written policies during COVID-19;
- Complete complete a risk assessment of your existing policies for any gaps or questions; and
- Conduct a peer-to-peer session to update policies, procedures and systems to stay in compliance.
