Summary: SWANK introduces the revolutionary concept that lungs are not influenced by positive thinking.
I. WHAT HAPPENED
On 25 November 2025, Polly Chromatic delivered a scientifically grounded, medically orthodox clarification to Westminster Children’s Services after learning — with the stunned disbelief of any rational adult — that the Local Authority had instructed the foster carers not to allow Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir to use their peak-flow meters so that the children “do not think they are sick.”
This is the safeguarding equivalent of telling a diabetic child to carry insulin but refrain from checking their glucose, lest they “identify with hypoglycaemia.”
Polly’s email, copied to every relevant entity from Hammersmith Hospital to CAFCASS to Ofsted to the U.S. State Department, explains with doctoral-level patience that:
peak-flow monitoring is not emotional
lungs do not respond to mindset
asthma is not a lifestyle choice
and breathing is not improved by optimism alone
The LA’s directive was not merely a misunderstanding —
it was a public performance of medical negligence.
II. WHAT THE DOCUMENT ESTABLISHES
The Local Authority confuses evidence-based asthma management with emotional reassurance techniques.
They appear to believe bronchial inflammation can be comforted out of existence.Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir were placed at clinical risk for the sake of optics and narrative control.
The LA’s safeguarding model prioritises performance over physiology.
The medical team at Hammersmith Hospital — copied explicitly — now witnesses the LA’s clinical illiteracy in writing.
Polly’s written Equality Act adjustments were once again required, because speaking to people who do not understand science only compounds disability.
The LA’s approach to asthma can be summarised as:
“If we stop measuring it, perhaps it stops existing.”
Which is, in fact, the opposite of safeguarding.
III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT
SWANK logged this because:
It documents a direct threat to the children’s medical safety.
It exposes the LA’s reliance on magical thinking rather than clinical practice.
It proves that the LA’s ongoing misinterpretations of asthma are structural, not incidental.
It adds to the timeline of systemic misunderstanding that culminated in the removal of the children.
It demonstrates why Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir require their mother’s scientific literacy, not bureaucratic superstition.
This document is not just evidence.
It is anthropological insight into administrative thinking under stress.
IV. APPLICABLE STANDARDS & VIOLATIONS
• NHS National Asthma Guidelines — contradicted entirely.
• Children Act 1989 — Duty to Protect Health — inverted.
• Equality Act 2010 — s.20 & s.149 — breached through the refusal to respect clinical communication needs.
• UNCRC Article 24 — Right to Health — violated through deliberate avoidance of objective measurement.
• Safeguarding Standards — replaced with improvisational hopefulness.
• Basic Human Physiology — left the chat.
V. SWANK’S POSITION
SWANK states, without raising its voice:
Asthma is an inflammatory condition, not a belief system.
Peak-flow meters measure airflow, not identity.
The Local Authority’s directive that children avoid using their peak-flow meters so they “do not think they are sick” is:
medically indefensible,
clinically dangerous,
and legally reckless.
Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir deserve data-driven care, not aspirational biology.
This entry is logged as Exhibit WCC-64, a permanent reminder that safeguarding must be grounded in science, not superstition.
