QOCTS Safeguarding and Support Boundaries

Training support, not crisis support

1. QOCTS Role

QOCTS is a training and education platform. It supports structured learning, self-regulation, and future-readiness through protocol, scoring, reflection, and review.

2. What QOCTS Is Not

QOCTS is not emergency support, crisis service, therapy, diagnosis, medical care, mental health treatment, legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or debt advice.

3. When to Pause Training

Users should pause escalation if they experience serious distress, sleep loss, obsessive rescoring, functional deterioration, panic or crisis symptoms, coercive use by another person, or inability to safely continue.

4. What to Do

If you feel at risk or seriously distressed, contact appropriate local emergency services, crisis support, medical professionals, or trusted support people in your location. In Spain, dial 024 (línea de atención a la conducta suicida) or 112 for emergencies.

5. Support Signals

QOCTS may record burden, distress, or support signals during pilot feedback. These are learning-support indicators, not disciplinary labels.

6. Institutional Use

Institutions must not use QOCTS scores or feedback to shame, punish, coerce, rank, or exclude participants.
