This educational protocol provides general safety, documentation, and survivor-support guidance. It does not create an attorney-client, therapist-client, investigator-client, or confidential professional relationship. Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed when disclosure is required by law, when a child or vulnerable person may be endangered, or when an immediate threat of serious harm exists. Oklahoma Child Wellbeing is not an emergency-response agency, law-enforcement agency, legal services provider, or substitute for licensed medical, mental-health, domestic-violence, or legal assistance. In an emergency, call 911 or the appropriate local emergency service.
