Re: Initial Response to ... Circuit Court of Appeals Decision in Doe v. Heck
This decision relates to the authority of child protective services caseworkers to conduct child abuse and neglect assessments on private property.
We will be issuing a more formal response to the decision in the near future, but I would like to provide you with our initial responses and suggested actions county agencies can take in the meantime.
