SOAR Demonstration Grant Participant Training Feedback Form Clean 3.15.23

OMB Number: 0970-XXXX

Expiration Date: XX/XX/XXXX

SOAR Demonstration Grant Program recipients are required to implement SOAR trainings, including SOAR Online and SOAR for Organizations, for staff at relevant levels and divisions, including at a minimum frontline and support staff most likely to encounter an individual who has experienced trafficking; mid-level and senior management responsible for approving changes in policies and protocols and resources to support implementation; and staff who oversee procurement and external partners, across the prime’s organization.

The SOAR Demonstration Program has three implementation phases. The first phase requires prime recipient staff to complete and participate in relevant SOAR training provided by the Office on Trafficking in Persons’ National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC). The second phase requires prime recipients to leverage the SOAR foundational training content and staff knowledge to develop and implement plans for increasing organizational and community capacity to identify and serve individuals impacted by human trafficking and begin providing comprehensive case management services to clients in-house and/or through subrecipients. In the final phase of the program, prime recipients must develop the capacity to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of human trafficking protocols, policies, and procedures when serving clients or patients in clinical settings who have experienced human trafficking and plan for the overall organizational sustainability to continue improving identification, providing trauma-informed, person-centered, culturally and linguistically appropriate services, and referring clients or patients to case management services with the community continuum of care

SOAR training feedback from prime recipient staff (trained during the first implementation phase) will be obtained through the NHTTAC Evaluation Package (OMB Number: OMB: 0970-0519). Likewise, if SOAR Demonstration Grant Program award recipients elect to train subrecipients and external partners (third implementation phase) through NHTTAC, feedback from those participants will also be obtained through the NHTTAC Evaluation Package. However, SOAR Demonstration Grant Program recipients are permitted to develop their own specialized SOAR-trainings specific to their local context to build and strengthen strategic partnerships and may conduct these trainings external to NHTTAC. Post-training feedback from these participants will be obtained through this collection form.

The questions in this form are intended to gauge participants’ perceptions of the SOAR training content.
