Summary: Formal Equality & Safeguarding Notice establishing Westminster’s duty to permit medical devices and monitoring for a child diagnosed with Eosinophilic Asthma.
I. What Happened
On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a written Equality & Safeguarding Notice to Westminster City Council, clarifying the non-negotiable legality of her son King’s peak-flow monitoring and medical identification bracelet.
The letter followed reports that local authority staff or agents had discouraged or obstructed these basic medical safeguards.
The Notice sets out, with clinical and statutory precision, why breathing is not a policy variable.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That Eosinophilic Asthma is a chronic autoimmune disorder, not an allergy nor an attitude.
• That routine peak-flow readings are a clinical duty, not a parental indulgence.
• That obstructing a medical bracelet constitutes preventable risk creation.
• That Westminster, once notified of such risk, becomes the sole custodian of liability.
• That statutory compliance is not a courtesy — it is a respiratory necessity.
• That the Council’s recurring confusion between management preference and medical practice requires immediate therapeutic intervention (preferably via training, not litigation).
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because a government that can complicate the wearing of a medical bracelet cannot be trusted with air.
Because negligence, when written in the language of procedure, still strangles.
Because this archive is both respirator and record — a ventilator for truth in the stagnant ward of municipal reasoning.
SWANK logged it to immortalise the absurdity of institutions debating lung function as though it were a matter of opinion.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Children Act 1989 – ss.17 & 47: Welfare and safeguarding duties
• Equality Act 2010 – ss.6, 20, 149 & Schedules 2 & 13: Disability definition, reasonable adjustments, anticipatory duty
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8: Right to private and family life, bodily integrity
• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – General duty of care
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) – National standard for promoting health and preventing deterioration
• NHS England Severe Asthma Framework (2023) – Mandatory monitoring for severe eosinophilic asthma
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not “parental over-caution.”
This is the anatomy of lawful care, recited for the benefit of those who mistake obstruction for professionalism.
SWANK rejects the institutional hobby of redefining disability accommodation as inconvenience.
We reject the belief that a bureaucratic chair can outweigh a child’s lungs.
We document each inhalation Westminster attempts to regulate — not for sentiment, but for statute.

Every breath indexed. Every statute oxygenated. Every indifference ventilated into record.
Because evidence deserves elegance — and negligence deserves publication.
