# §1303.30. Grant recipient responsibility and accountability.


A grant recipient is accountable for the services its delegate agencies provide. The grant recipient supports, oversees and ensures delegate agencies provide high-quality services to children and families and meet all applicable Head Start requirements. The grant recipient can only terminate a delegate agency if the grant recipient shows cause why termination is necessary and provides a process for delegate agencies to appeal termination decisions. The grant recipient retains legal responsibility and authority and bears financial accountability for the program when services are provided by delegate agencies.
