Increasing protections for child welfare workers.

This bill increases protections for child welfare workers by making assault against them a class C felony. It also allows child welfare workers to request a second trained individual, such as a law enforcement officer or another child welfare worker, to accompany them on visits to private homes if they have concerns about potential violence. Additionally, the bill requires ongoing training for child welfare workers to include de-escalation strategies.
