(Recorded Webinar) Head Start Negative Findings

Duration: 80 minutes
Recorded On: 11/20/2019

The number of deficiency findings for Head Start programs has been on the rise in recent years. In fact, it's rare for programs to undergo monitoring reviews and come away with no findings.

Unfortunately, in this era of additional scrutiny and consequences, every finding counts. Failure to correct findings of non-compliance will result in deficiencies and failure to correct deficiencies can result in the termination of your program. So, what do you do if you receive a monitoring report with deficiencies or non-compliances? 

FTLF has helped many programs respond to monitoring findings over the years. On this webinar, we will share our strategies and best practices for how to:

  • Review and analyze the final report
  • Draft a proper response
  • Develop a plan to address any findings of non-compliance or deficiencies
  • Improve internal processes to prevent future findings

Target Audience

  • Executive Directors
  • Head Start Directors
  • Senior management and staff
  • Any new program personnel who will be involved in the monitoring process

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be better able to:

  • Analyze your monitoring report and understand any negative findings
  • Strengthen your Quality Improvement Plans in response to identified deficiencies or findings of non-compliance
  • Identify strategies to document and “prove up” your compliance to address negative findings

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
