OPINION

PATTERSON, Judge.

¶ 1 In these consolidated appeals, we consider the scope of protective services workers' immunity for negligence claims against the State of Arizona and three individuals employed as social workers by Protective Services. We also address whether qualified immunity attaches to the social workers' activities when due process violations under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 (Supp.1996)(" § 1983") are alleged.
