CHOICE & COMPANY SUPPORT

Safety and professional boundaries

Where ordinary prompts end and qualified, authorised or emergency pathways begin.

AUTONOMY

Consent is visible in the response

Asking is only the first half of consent. Respect becomes visible when the supporter accepts no, stops persuading and changes course without punishment or withdrawal of belonging.

TRUST

Pause unexpected urgency

A call or message demanding secrecy, money, identity details or immediate action deserves a pause and an independent check through a separately known route. The app does not detect scams or provide financial advice.

READINESS

Prepare the real household plan elsewhere

Use current New Zealand Civil Defence guidance and local arrangements for water, light, warmth, information, support and evacuation. The app intentionally stores no emergency contact, medical need or household plan.

IMPORTANT LIMIT

Use professional and emergency pathways

Choice & Company does not diagnose, treat, monitor wellbeing, assess capacity or falls risk, prescribe exercise, manage medication, certify a home or venue, or provide legal or financial advice. For urgent danger or a medical emergency in New Zealand, call 111.
