    It depends on the law in your local jurisdiction. In most places, any adult on the property is presumed to have authority from you to let someone into your house.

    Think of it this way -- if someone was staying at your home and let a friend in to watch TV, you couldn't have the friend charged with trespassing.

    If the child protective services person had a search warrant, then the person who let them in had no option.

    You also need to talk to a lawyer. If you're being investigated and you're trying to hang your defense on whether or not this person was allowed to let an investigator into your house, you've lost before you even start.
