CAATCRCC Head Start Family Service Workers act as an Advocate for Head Start families. Family Service Workers determine the needs of families through a comprehensive family development plan. The FSW can then provide referrals for counseling, food, clothing, and housing through local agencies in the county providing these services.
When families have multiple needs they will be able to address the needs of families through case management services. This will help maximize and maintain family strengths while supporting areas of need or concerns through a goal setting system. Head Start staff cannot succeed without the committed involvement of the local community. The advantages of partnership are reciprocal.
Confidentiality: Head Start does not release information about a child or the child’s family unless parents first provide their written consent. Head Start Staff will exercise the utmost discretion and respect for a parent’s privacy.
Recruiting children and determining eligibility is based on community and family needs, as stated by Head Start guidelines.
