Q: I am a IHSS WORKER.i provide in home services..such as cleaning cooking. Shopping. Can cps stop me from working .
A:
As an IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) worker in California, your ability to work should generally not be affected by Child Protective Services (CPS) unless there are specific concerns or allegations related to your conduct or ability to provide safe and effective care. CPS involvement typically arises from concerns about the welfare of a child, so if your work as an IHSS provider is separate from any issues CPS might be investigating, it shouldn't impact your job.
However, if CPS has concerns directly related to your interactions with children, either in your professional capacity or personal life, this could potentially impact your ability to continue working in roles that involve caring for others, especially if these concerns lead to legal action or findings against you.
If you are facing an investigation or action by CPS that you believe is impacting your work unjustifiably, it's advisable to consult with an attorney. They can help you understand your rights and options, and provide guidance on how to address the situation effectively. Remember, each situation is unique, and getting tailored legal advice is important in navigating these complexities.
