(a) The provision of family preservation services to a family shall constitute a reasonable effort by the Department of Human Services to prevent the removal of a child from the child's home, provided that the family has received timely access to other services from the department for which the family is eligible.
(b) Acceptance of family preservation services shall not be considered an admission of any allegation that initiated the investigation of the family, nor shall refusal of family preservation services be considered as evidence in any proceeding except when the issue is whether the department has made reasonable efforts to prevent removal of a child.
(c) No family preservation services program shall compel any family member to engage in any activity or refrain from any activity that is not reasonably related to remedying a condition or conditions that gave rise or that could reasonably give rise to any finding of child abuse, neglect, or dependency.
