This webinar, presented by Attorney Ron McGuckin, will focus on the most current legal trends and administrative issues which impact the day to day operations of the child care  program. Ron will discuss:

• social media usage and how it can affect the business’s image and legal standing
• what to include in personnel policies and the potential liability for the program and the employee
• discrimination claims and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and identify the documentation needed and recommended legal strategy to deal with these claims
• the new HHS directive  related to expulsion of children and how the American With Disabilities  Act (ADA) can impact this issue

In this webinar, you will learn:

1. how social media postings can affect the child care program’s image  and what to include in a personnel policy addressing this issue
2. about federally protected classes, understand their relationship to discrimination lawsuits, and implement strategies to help avoid these types of lawsuits
