Data Management and Privacy Challenges

September 18, 2019

Collecting and analyzing data about your program can be a critical tool to help you:

  • Choose which activities and initiatives to prioritize
  • Provide key program information to your Governing Board and Policy Council
  • Communicate your achievements and value to the community

However, when collecting data, Head Start programs must be sure to protect the privacy and confidentiality of child records and any personally identifiable information (PII).

All grantees must have a data management policy. The Office of Head Start (OHS) stresses that this policy must comply with the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS), including the privacy protection requirements in 45 C.F.R. Part 1303, Subpart C. Don’t know where to start? On this webinar, FTLF will discuss:

  • What constitutes personally identifiable information (PII)
  • Common exceptions to the general rule that you must have parental consent to disclose data with PII
  • Important procedures to include in your data management policy
  • Best practices for ensuring confidentiality (e.g., using data security agreements)

Although non-compliance or deficiency findings for data management and privacy are not currently as common as findings in other areas, enforcement priorities do shift and it’s important to be prepared.

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.
