Formal written request for legal accommodations by a medically exempt parent facing PLO proceedings — ignored by Westminster Children’s Services in direct violation of disability law.
I. What Happened
Faced with a pre-proceedings meeting she physically could not attend without medical risk, a disabled U.S. mother submitted this written request:
A request for lawful adjustments.
A request for alternatives to verbal participation.
A request to be treated as a human being — not an obstacle.
Westminster responded by proceeding anyway.
II. What the Request Establishes
That the parent clearly and pre-emptively notified Westminster of her disabilities
That she requested alternative means of communication as permitted under law
That she invoked her rights under the Equality Act and safeguarding fairness
That the response was not accommodation — but procedural force
III. Why SWANK Filed It
Because refusal to speak is not non-cooperation when speaking risks a medical event.
Because safeguarding does not mean bulldozing disabled parents into statutory frameworks they cannot physically navigate.
And because when lawful requests are ignored, they become legal liabilities.
This isn’t a request for help.
It’s evidence.
IV. Violations Identified
Denial of Reasonable Adjustment
Discrimination Against Medically Exempt Parent
Procedural Misconduct Under PLO
Breach of Duty to Accommodate Disabilities
Abuse of Safeguarding Framework for Retaliatory Purposes
V. SWANK’s Position
This letter is not a plea. It is a record.
It confirms that Westminster was given full legal notice — and chose escalation over ethics.
It confirms that disability law was not misunderstood — it was ignored.
It confirms that when the parent spoke clearly, the institution refused to listen.
And so now, we file.
