Summary
When Child Protective Services opens a case, the agency must hand the parent a short guide and two easy‑to‑read rights sheets. The sheets explain privacy, home entry, consent, fairness, communication aids, how to access files, appeal decisions and other protections. The goal is to make the CPS process clearer and protect families' legal rights.
