DCF Central Registry: Permanent Impact on Employment

DCF investigations can lead to being placed on the DCF Central Registry. If, after an investigation, the DCF substantiates that there was neglect or abuse committed, you have the right to a substantiation hearing. At this administrative hearing, the DCF could substantiate the findings and also place you on the DCF Central Registry.

Placement on the DCF Central Registry creates many problems. You would become ineligible for employment in child care, education or health care. You could lose current employment over this status. You may even lose custody or visitation with your children. We can provide strong representation for you at this administrative hearing. We will seek to get allegations dropped and keep you off the DCF Central Registry.

Foster Care Licensure

As a foster parent, your main concern is being there for your children and being able to provide them with the care they deserve. The ability to do this is threatened if you are investigated by the DCF. For example, a child may have been removed from your home because they had difficulties and required special attention elsewhere. This can automatically trigger a DCF investigation as well as notification of foster care license suspension. You have a right to an administrative hearing. We can represent you and advocate for your rights and seek to maintain your licensure.
