Professionals versus volunteers

The community draws an explicit line between matters for trained professionals and matters volunteers can hold: clinically dangerous behaviour, medical emergencies, and legal processes are referred out, and the community maintains a list of external resources for situations beyond its capacity, expertise, medical, or legal scope. The community does not take responsibility it cannot competently carry.

Deliberately left open — The resource list itself is to be compiled (feeds SYN-047).
