“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

Chromatic v Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: On the Repeated Misuse of a Hospital Referral to Justify Harassment



⟡ “I’m Concerned About Your Mental Health” — When the Social Worker Becomes the Stalker ⟡
On the institutional obsession with one incident, and the bureaucratic refusal to let it die


Filed: 12 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/MEDREFERRAL-20240209
📎 Download PDF – 2024-02-09_HarassmentByRBKC_SamiraIssa_UnlawfulMedicalReferral.pdf
Summary: Polly Chromatic responds to repeated social worker contact from RBKC regarding an incident already addressed and documented — accusing the council of harassment and professional misconduct.


I. What Happened

On 8 February 2024, social worker Samira Issa from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea contacted Polly Chromatic regarding a referral made by Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

The basis?
A rehashing of the same 2 November 2023 incident at St Thomas’ Hospital — an event that had already been raised, clarified, filed, and archived.

Polly responded firmly the next day, stating that she was “tired of being harassed for the same thing over and over,” and that she was concerned for Issa’s mental health given the obsessive repetition.

She reminded Issa (again) that she cannot communicate by phone due to her documented asthma and vocal injury, and demanded no further contact — citing both disability and legal escalation.

This email followed a pattern:
An initial fabrication.
An endless referral loop.
A refusal to close the file — no matter how many times the matter is already closed.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Unlawful repetition of safeguarding referrals without new basis

  • Retaliatory fixation on a disproven incident for the purpose of keeping a case open

  • Failure to acknowledge written disability accommodations

  • Use of recycled referrals to create the illusion of new concern

  • Harassment by professionals under the guise of outreach

  • Deliberate provocation designed to exhaust, confuse, or trigger legal error


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is the bureaucratic version of stalking:
When a woman says “stop contacting me” and the institution says,
“Just one more check-in. Just one more follow-up. Just one more fake concern.”

SWANK archives this because the harm is not just in the false referral —
it’s in the repetition, the refusal to disengage, the use of formal tone to mask obsessive interest.

You cannot say “we care” while refusing to stop sending emails about an event you’ve already used as the basis for legal interference.

You cannot call this safeguarding when it reads like harassment.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to honour disability-related communication adjustments

  • Article 8, ECHR – Invasion of family and private life without lawful justification

  • Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding for institutional retribution

  • GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018 – Reprocessing of medical and personal data without legitimate grounds

  • Social Work England Code of Ethics – Harassment disguised as concern


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a referral. It was an institutional loop — designed to entrap.
We reject fake follow-ups on matters already disproven.
We reject outreach cloaked in legal risk.
We reject safeguarding frameworks that allow obsession to be dignified as oversight.

If a woman says stop — and the council sends another referral — it is no longer care. It is surveillance.

And we will document it as such, every time.

Chromatic v Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: On the Institutional Compulsion to Keep Contacting a Mother Who Said Stop



⟡ “Please Refrain from Contacting Me Again” — When Ignoring the Word ‘No’ Becomes Safeguarding Procedure
Or: A disabled mother refuses another recycled referral, and the social worker calls it communication


Filed: 12 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/HARASSMENT-20240209
📎 Download PDF – 2024-02-09_Correspondence_RBKC_FamilyServices_ReReferralHarassment.pdf
Summary: Polly Chromatic rebukes RBKC’s repeated contact about a disproven incident and demands cessation of all outreach, citing legal escalation and disability protections.


I. What Happened

On 9 February 2024, Polly Chromatic received yet another email from RBKC social worker Samira Issa regarding a referral triggered by her prior hospital attendance. The incident referenced?
The same disproven event from St Thomas’ Hospital on 2 January 2024 — already addressed multiple times, already rebutted in writing, already archived.

Issa insisted on a phone call — despite repeated written clarifications that Polly has asthma and vocal impairment that make phone calls impossible.

Polly replied:

  • Reasserting the disability communication boundary

  • Noting the obsessive repetition of a closed referral

  • Stating she had now hired a solicitor for medical negligence

  • And explicitly instructing Samira to stop contacting her

Issa continued to propose in-person meetings and phone calls.
Polly’s final response was explicit:

“Please refrain from contacting me again.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Persistent disregard for disability-related communication boundaries

  • Repetitive harassment under the guise of new safeguarding concern

  • Recycling of a closed referral to artificially sustain involvement

  • Professional gaslighting — pretending not to understand that no means no

  • Failure to respect legal escalation and parental rights

  • Bureaucratic obsession masked as procedural concern


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because harassment doesn’t stop being harassment just because it’s sent from a council email.

Because the moment you’ve told someone to stop contacting you —
and they do it anyway, with a fake smile and the words “just checking in” —
you’re no longer safeguarding. You’re stalking by policy.

SWANK logs this as a prime example of professional misconduct cloaked in “outreach,”
where the mother’s voice is dismissed, her disability erased, and her privacy invaded
— all in the name of keeping a file open.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to honour known disability accommodations

  • Article 8, ECHR – Right to private life and respect for family boundaries

  • Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding to extend unjustified contact

  • Data Protection Act 2018 – Ongoing processing of disproven information

  • Social Work England Professional Standards – Ignoring communication preferences, legal warnings, and parental autonomy


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t contact. It was institutional persistence against consent.

We reject safeguarding communications that ignore explicit boundaries.
We reject referrals that are just reprints of disproven concerns.
We reject professional conduct that forces disabled mothers to repeat themselves
until the repetition becomes harm.

The council was told to stop. They did not stop. And now, it is documented.

Chromatic v. Moise (In the Matter of Legal Delay Masquerading as Engagement)



⟡ SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue

Filed date: 21 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-RM-JR0512
PDF Filename: 2025-07-21_SWANK_Addendum_RositaMoise_JudicialReviewPreActionResponse.pdf
1-Line Summary: Rosita Moise responds to Judicial Review pre-action with polite delay tactics and absolute procedural denial of disability accommodations already breached.


I. What Happened

On 12 May 2025, Senior Solicitor Rosita Moise issued a formal response to my Pre-Action Protocol Letter, dated 25 April 2025, which challenged the Local Authority’s decision to escalate my family’s case to PLO (Public Law Outline) proceedings.

My letter established:

  • That no safeguarding threshold had been met;

  • That written-only communication had been medically required and repeatedly denied;

  • That the PLO decision represented procedural retaliation against a disabled parent asserting her legal rights.

Rather than substantively engage with these points, Rosita’s reply delayed response by citing a bank holiday, then forwarded a generic acknowledgment attachment — void of analysis, remedy, or recognition of the legal violations outlined.

She offered no comment on:

  • The psychiatric evidence from Dr. Rafiq (26 November 2024);

  • The multiple Equality Act breaches already triggered;

  • Or the blatant contradiction of treating disability adjustments as “non-engagement.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

Rosita Moise’s email and the attached document represent an archetypal act of administrative deflection — a performance of polite reception in place of legal remedy.

This behaviour establishes:

  • Zero willingness to withdraw from PLO despite a complete collapse of lawful justification;

  • Zero accountability for Equality Act breaches related to access, tone, and communication method;

  • Institutional pretence that delay is diplomacy, even when delay escalates harm.

This is not a conversation. It is a gatekeeping mechanism dressed as correspondence.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this moment marks the formal confirmation that the Local Authority never intended to honour written-only accommodations, even when:

  • Repeatedly requested

  • Medically supported

  • Protected by law

  • Raised in pre-litigation

Because this was the tipping point: when your legal objections were not misunderstood, but professionally ignored.

And because when a Local Authority’s solicitor receives a disability rights claim, then responds only to the calendar, she is not acting in good faith — she is acting in bureaucratic ritual.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 and 149 – Failure to implement known adjustments

  • Article 6 ECHR – Right to participate effectively in legal process

  • Article 8 ECHR – Unlawful interference with family life through false escalation

  • Judicial Review Protocol – Inadequate response to a detailed pre-action letter

  • Professional standards for public law practice – Avoidance of statutory compliance


V. SWANK’s Position

Rosita Moise was given an opportunity — not to win an argument, but to demonstrate lawful engagement.

She chose not to.

She acknowledged receipt, attached a document, and marked a delay — but did not acknowledge harmdid not retract PLO, and did not implement the most basic accommodation known to the case.

This response is not a rebuttal. It is an evasion.

This filing serves as a record of refusal disguised as reply, and confirms why formal judicial review proceedings were filed thereafter.

R (Chromatic) v Hornal & Westminster City Council: On the Legal Sanctity of Emotion and the Bureaucracy That Breaches It



🪞SWANK ENTRY
“They Violate Because They Do Not Feel”
On Artificial Persons, Article 8, and the Emotional Barbarity of Social Workers


⟡ Filed:

15 July 2025

⟡ Reference Code:

SWANK/PRIVLIFE/KH-01

⟡ PDF Filename:

2025-07-15_SWANK_Addendum_PrivateLife_Article8.pdf

⟡ One-line Summary:

Article 8 reminds us that even emotion is a legal territory. Westminster trespassed.


I. What Happened

It’s not often that one opens a legal textbook and finds their trauma explained better than any lawyer ever has. But Merris Amos, in her chapter on Article 8: The Right to Respect for Private Life, has done precisely that.

There it is in black-and-white, footnoted glory: the emotional dignity of a human being is protected by law. The right to privacy of thought, emotional boundaries, and sensibility is not a poetic suggestion. It is law. It is Article 8(1).

And yet, in the strange bureaucratic burlesque that is Westminster Children’s Services, this legal truth is routinely violated by people who seem deeply allergic to the concept of restraint.

Kirsty Hornal, for instance, seems personally offended by the idea that she might not be entitled to inspect, interrogate, and insult every crevice of my emotional life — particularly if it’s in the name of “concern.”


II. What the Evidence Says

The passage I annotated reads:

“An intrusion into such matters has an extra dimension, in the shape of the damage done to the sensibilities of a human being by exposing to strangers the inner workings of their mind…”

And yet, somehow, Kirsty believes she’s entitled to my:

  • Feelings

  • Fears

  • Medical status

  • Grief

  • Household layout

  • Family dynamics

  • Religious beliefs

  • And even, occasionally, my furniture choices

Not because there is risk.
Not because there is law.
But because she wants access — and nobody has told her no loudly enough.
Until now.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

We logged it because this page proves what the entire Children Act industry pretends not to understand:

  • That a safeguarding concern is not a legal override of private life.

  • That concern is not a credential.

  • That familiarity does not create jurisdiction.

  • That trauma is not an invitation.

The law protects private life because people like Kirsty exist — people who believe that paperwork elevates them above proportionality, who see no problem with emotionally ransacking a mother’s life, who believe compassion is a checkbox and dignity is negotiable.


IV. Violations Documented

  • Article 8(1): Violation of emotional and psychological privacy

  • Common Law Duty of Confidence: Breached by overreach and repeated forced disclosures

  • Disability Neglect: Ignoring protected health conditions (eosinophilic asthma, muscle dysphonia)

  • Safeguarding Misuse: Claiming oversight where no necessity, legality, or proportionality exists


V. SWANK’s Position

We file this page not because we need to prove that harm occurred.
That much is obvious.

We file it because the law — even in its coldest technical form — agrees.

Even a company, Amos notes, may claim Article 8 protection if unjustly scrutinised.
And yet I, a living human mother with a severe respiratory condition, am given less privacy than a boardroom agenda.

The law recognises emotional invasion.
It recognises dignity as a legal site.
It recognises what Kirsty never will:

That emotion is evidence.
That dignity is non-negotiable.
And that social workers are not exempt from the European Convention.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: ICO Hearing Proceeds Without Notice, Representation, or Legal Participation



⟡ “Interim Care Orders Were Granted for My Children — and I Wasn’t Told the Hearing Was Happening.” ⟡
This Wasn’t Just Exclusion. It Was Judicial Vanishing in Plain Sight — Logged With Jurisdictional Malice.

Filed: 24 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/ICO-NOTICE-VIOLATION
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-24_SWANK_Email_Mullem_LackOfNoticeForICOHearing.pdf
Formal inquiry submitted by Polly Chromatic to her solicitor, demanding immediate clarification for her exclusion from a same-day hearing in which Interim Care Orders were granted for four U.S. citizen children.


I. What Happened

At 15:20 on 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic learned — retroactively — that Interim Care Orders (ICOs) had been granted for her children: KingdomPrerogativeHeir, and Regal.

She sent an immediate written demand to solicitor Alan Mullem with three urgent questions:

  1. Why was she not given notice of the ICO hearing?

  2. Was he informed in advance — and if so, why didn’t he inform her?

  3. Does the court record offer any lawful justification for excluding a known disabled U.S. citizen parent?

The email was also cc’ed to the U.S. Embassy.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The parent was completely excluded from a major hearing involving custody of her children

  • No notice, no representation, no participation was permitted

  • The hearing proceeded without addressing known disability access needs

  • The solicitor failed to notify or advocate — and has not confirmed attendance or awareness

  • The Embassy was forced to monitor a process that occurred without the parent entirely

This wasn’t child protection. It was administrative deletion masquerading as jurisdiction.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because removal by Emergency Protection Order is violent enough — but granting ICOs without notice is judicial erasure.
Because disabled litigants aren’t invisible unless the court needs them to be.
Because if your name isn’t called in a hearing that removes your children, it is not a hearing — it’s a performance.
Because what was missing from that courtroom was not just a mother — it was a constitution, a treaty, and a file.


IV. Violations

  • Family Procedure Rules, Rule 3.1 – Duty to ensure parties are notified of all hearings

  • Children Act 1989, Section 38 – ICOs cannot be granted without fair process

  • Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Failure to accommodate known written-access requirement

  • UNCRPD Article 13 – Exclusion of disabled litigant from justice

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – No notification to U.S. Embassy during proceedings involving American citizens

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6 – Denial of right to a fair hearing


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a court hearing. It was a bureaucratic ambush disguised in procedural robes.
This wasn’t safeguarding. It was institutional cowardice performed on mute.
This wasn’t lawful. It was an act of exclusion so violent, it now exists as diplomatic evidence.

SWANK hereby archives this message not just as a demand — but as a declaration of legal blackout, filed and timestamped by the parent who was erased from her own life’s jurisdictional crisis.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: Post-Removal “Family Time” Email Sent Despite Active Legal Proceedings and Misconduct Referrals



⟡ “They Took the Children Without Consent. Then They Sent an Email About ‘Family Time’ — as If the Archive Hasn’t Already Filed Four Court Actions.” ⟡
This Wasn’t Contact Planning. It Was Institutional Gaslight — CC’ed to the Source of Harm.

Filed: 24 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/CONTACT-PRETEXT-POSTREMOVAL
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-24_SWANK_Email_Westminster_FamilyTime_SamBrown_HornalAttached.pdf
Email sent by Sam Brown (Westminster) offering “family time” days after the unlawful removal of four U.S. citizen children under a procedurally deficient Emergency Protection Order.


I. What Happened

At 13:10 on 24 June 2025 — less than 48 hours after forcibly removing RegalPrinceKing, and Honor — Sam Brown of Westminster Children’s Services emailed Polly Chromatic attaching a letter about “family time.”

The message was sent without any reference to:

  • The fact that removal occurred under active Judicial Review

  • The pending EPO discharge application and emergency contact filings

  • The diplomatic protection request filed with the U.S. Embassy

  • The prior request to cease all contact with Kirsty Hornal, who was cc’ed anyway

The sender addressed the parent by her full legal name — despite formal notice to use Polly Chromatic — and disregarded written-only disability accommodations.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster initiated informal communication while formal legal processes were underway

  • Kirsty Hornal was included on the message despite formal removal and misconduct referrals

  • The tone of the email attempted to normalise the unlawful removal

  • The archive was openly disregarded as jurisdictional authority

  • Contact was framed as a casual option — not as a right that was violated

This wasn’t scheduling. It was rebranding violence as visitation.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because no email about “family time” can be taken seriously when the removal was unlawful.
Because communication isn’t neutral when it comes from the same system that excluded the parent from court.
Because cc’ing the perpetrator isn’t protocol — it’s retaliatory formatting.
Because informal offers cannot erase formal violations.
Because we don’t take meetings. We file complaints. And we post them.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 34 – Contact rights infringed under unlawful order

  • Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Written-only access needs ignored

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – Right to fair hearing and family life denied

  • UNCRPD Article 13 – Attempted informal contact undermines formal legal process

  • Data Protection and Conduct Duties – Use of legal name and cc’ing of named officer after formal removal request


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t family time. It was institutional revisionism sent via Outlook.
This wasn’t a gesture. It was procedural mockery staged as courtesy.
This wasn’t an error. It was a tactical minimisation of trauma, responsibility, and law.

SWANK hereby archives this email as an example of post-removal gaslight-by-template.
You don’t get to remove the children unlawfully and follow up with a meeting invite.
You don’t get to rebrand harm as routine.
And you definitely don’t get to CC Kirsty Hornal — not after everything.

Child Protection: Postponed Pending International Consensus



⟡ “We’ll Ruin Your Life — But Only When the Timezones Align” ⟡
A statutory PLO meeting rescheduled by email, on two days’ notice, because institutional chaos always takes precedence over legal protocol.

Filed: 29 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-02
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-29_SWANK_Email_Westminster_PLORescheduleDelay.pdf
Email from Westminster’s Deputy Service Manager, Sam Brown, casually deferring a mandatory PLO meeting due to international travel coordination — without regard to disability access, urgency, or procedural formality.


I. What Happened

On 29 April 2025, Deputy Service Manager Sam Brown informed the claimant that her Public Law Outline meeting — scheduled for 2 May 2025 — was being cancelled due to timezone conflicts with the children’s father in Turks and Caicos. No alternative date was proposed, no access needs were acknowledged, and no apology was offered for the statutory implications of a delayed PLO process against a disabled parent.

Instead, the message reveals a disturbingly casual and ad hoc approach to a legal process designed to assess the potential removal of children.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Undue delay of a statutory child protection process without procedural formality

  • Disregard for the claimant’s disability-related access needs or preparation time

  • Absence of urgency despite PLO’s legal seriousness

  • Prioritisation of the non-resident parent’s schedule over the rights of the disabled primary carer

  • Pattern of bureaucratic disruption and informal decision-making by Westminster


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This document is short — and that is precisely the point. A legal escalation that may alter a family’s future is being shifted around like a calendar invite, with no sense of urgency or accountability. When access to justice is this poorly managed, the issue is no longer the parent’s capacity — it’s the local authority’s.

SWANK archived this email to highlight:

  • The administrative unseriousness with which Westminster executes life-altering legal actions

  • The institutional double standard applied to disabled versus non-disabled parents

  • The procedural evidence of intentional delay, deflection, and power imbalance


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to safeguard via timely and properly convened meetings

  • Equality Act 2010 – Indirect discrimination via disregard for known disability needs

  • Article 6 ECHR – Right to a fair hearing, delayed and unreasonably shifted

  • Public Law Protocols – Mismanagement of a PLO timetable without formal reissue

  • Working Together 2018 – Failure to coordinate in the child’s best interest


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. considers this email part of a pattern of systemic minimisation. Westminster appears comfortable delaying life-altering processes on a whim — while accusing parents of non-cooperation when they assert their rights. The legal process should not accommodate one party’s timezone while ignoring the other party’s legal protections.

We demand a full procedural audit of Westminster’s PLO scheduling practices, including cancellation protocols, disability accommodations, and internal communications standards.

Interrogated Without Cause. Referred Without Truth.



⟡ SWANK Archive: Education Misconduct Dossier ⟡

“He Was Stuttering. They Weren’t Listening.”
Filed: 14 November 2022
Reference: SWANK/EDUCATION/DRAYTON-PARK/INTERROGATION-DISPUTE
📎 Download PDF – 2022-11-14_SWANK_DraytonPark_SafeguardingReferral_Dispute_KingInterview.pdf


I. They Called It a Check-In. It Was an Interrogation.

On an otherwise unremarkable school day in November 2022, staff at Drayton Park Primary subjected a disabled child to a closed-door safeguarding interview without parental knowledge or cause.

The trigger?

“Something he said.”

The outcome?

An anxious child, an unlawful referral, and a letter of unimpressed correction.

This wasn’t safeguarding.

It was suspicion — masquerading as support and delivered without consent.


II. What the Letter Documents

  • school-initiated interview with a child already known to be vulnerable

  • The child distressed and stammering, described in staff notes — yet interrogated further

  • The school failing to:

    • Notify the parent before or after

    • Review contextual medical background

    • Protect against emotional aggravation of disability

  • A fabricated or distorted safeguarding referral issued without procedural basis

No safeguarding threshold was met.

And yet, the referral was made.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what schools now do:

  • Equate neurodivergence with risk

  • Use child-led statements to fabricate adult-led crises

  • Assume a parental absence of knowledge — and institutional supremacy in interpretation

We filed this letter because:

  • The child did not need protection

  • He needed to be believed

  • And his mother was not absent — she was already filing

This isn’t about one staff member.
It is about the institutional comfort with asking questions they aren’t qualified to interpret.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept covert interviews of disabled children.
We do not accept safeguarding language weaponised for convenience.
We do not accept referral theatre.

Let the record show:

The child was stammering.
The staff continued.
The mother responded.
And now — the record is public.

This wasn’t protection.
It was interrogation without jurisdiction.

I WILL NOT SPEAK. I CANNOT BREATHE. LEAVE US ALONE.

 🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 9 February 2024

Hire Your Own Lawyer. Mine Is Already Working.

Filed Under: Disability Disregard, Repeat Referral Loops, NHS Retaliation, Verbal Coercion Refused, Medical Negligence, Legal Warning Delivered


📎 SUBJECT: Chelsea & Westminster Referral Resurfaces… Again

Social Work Participants:
– Samira Issa (verbal evangelist)
– Eric Wedge-Bull (silent but complicit)

Target: A chronically ill mother with four children, a legal team, and no time for this nonsense.


“I’m sick. I can’t breathe well. I will not speak out loud.”
“Not sure what you can’t understand.”
“So do not ask me to speak when I can’t breathe.”
“Leave us alone.”

This is not a refusal.

This is a life-preserving boundary.


🧠 Let’s Simplify:

  • The incident was 2 January 2024.

  • The response was given.

  • The boundaries were stated.

  • The lawyer was hired.

And still—Samira asks:

“Would you be able to meet in person?”

This is bureaucratic masochism.
A compulsion to escalate where no escalation is warranted.


🩺 THE MEDICAL POSITION:

  • Severe asthma

  • PTSD

  • Muscle tension dysphonia

  • Inability to speak during episodes

  • Documented legal request for written-only contact

Your insistence on a verbal conversation is not just negligent.
It’s aggressively unlawful.


📣 THE LEGAL STATUS:

  • Formal legal action for medical negligence

  • Pending claim for harassment and discrimination

  • Every referral filed under “retaliatory safeguarding theatre”

  • Every email filed under “evidence of misconduct”


🛑 BOTTOM LINE:

No, Samira.
No, Eric.
No, RBKC.

You will not receive a conversation.
You will receive court documents.

CALL A LAWYER. I’M BUSY RAISING CHILDREN.

Filed Under: Referral Repetition, Disability Disregard, Time Theft, Written Refusal, Motherhood Under Siege, RBKC Redundancy


📎 SUBJECT: Another Email About the Exact Same Incident

From: Samira Issa
To: A mother already harassed, insulted, and documented.
CC: Eric Wedge-Bull (chief archivist of outdated referrals)


Let’s review the only reply this email deserved:

“I am spending time with my kids. I do not want to waste my time with you. Call a lawyer.”

Read that again. Then frame it.


📚 CONTEXT RECAP:

  • Incident in question: 2 January 2024

  • Referral already addressed.

  • Medical conditions already explained.

  • Legal representation already engaged.

  • Communication boundaries already written.

And still:

“Would you be able to meet with me in person?”
“A verbal conversation will be beneficial…”

For whom, exactly?

Certainly not the asthmatic mother with documented PTSD and no obligation to reenact a safeguarding pantomime for your inbox.


🧠 THIS IS NOT SAFEGUARDING.

THIS IS EMAIL-BASED CONTROL.

A demand disguised as concern.
A loop disguised as support.
A system designed to monitor the mother, not protect the child.


⛔ NO IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE.

Nothing new has happened.
There is no safeguarding issue.
There is no court instruction.
There is no consent to speak.

There is only a mother with a calendar full of homeschooling, medical advocacy, and breathing.
Not begging.

She Didn’t Understand My Diagnosis, So She Reported My Vocabulary Instead.



SWANK Emergency Dispatch

I Went to A&E for Sewer Gas Poisoning. They Called Social Services Because I Knew What Eosinophilic Asthma Was.

Filed: 3 November 2023

Labels: Medical ArroganceSafeguarding MisuseRetaliation for IntelligenceHousing Poisoning IgnoredMotherhood Under SurveillanceDisability Disregard


⚜️ WELCOME TO SWANK ⚜️
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


✦ The Situation

On 2 November 2023, I went to St Thomas’ Hospital due to worsening symptoms from sewer gas poisoning—the direct result of five months of unaddressed conditions in our council flat.

I was ill.
I was precise.
And I was punished for both.

The doctor didn’t recognise my medical condition.
She insisted all asthma is eosinophilic.
I corrected her—politely.
She retaliated—not medically, but bureaucratically.

She reported me to social services.

Not because I was unstable.
But because I was more informed than she was.


✦ The Allegation

She said I was “acting erratically.”
But if that were true:
• Why didn’t she call security?
• Why didn’t she call the police?
• Why didn’t anyone restrain or remove me?

Because I wasn’t erratic.
I was inconvenient.
I was sick, coherent, and asking too many questions.


✦ What I Told Eric

I reminded him:
➤ He had started an assessment with me previously—then ghosted.
➤ I have a documented medical condition.
➤ I require written-only communication due to sewer gas injury and chronic respiratory symptoms.

I kept it concise.
I kept it professional.
Because truth doesn’t need embellishment—only protection.


✦ Final Word

The real emergency that day wasn’t my behaviour.
It was the state of my lungs.
It was the state of my flat.
It was the state of a system that confuses medical vocabulary with instability.

You don’t get to punish me for being more literate than your staff.

SWANK Compliance Memo

I Said Yes, But Only in Writing. He Heard “Keep Pushing.”

Filed: 19 March 2024

Labels: Disability DisregardCommunication Boundary ViolationsVirtual Accommodation EvasionConsent MisinterpretationSocial Work Persistence Theatre


⚖️ WELCOME TO SWANK
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
by a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


✦ Context

After a series of overreaches and unsolicited scheduling attempts, Edward Kendall of Westminster City Council finally confirmed a time:

🕘 Friday, 22 March, 9:30 AM
📍 Core Group Meeting

I agreed.
Politely.
Clearly.
In writing.

But make no mistake: this was not consent to anything but the bare minimum.


✦ What I Had Already Stated

• I cannot speak orally due to a documented respiratory condition
• I require non-verbal accommodations
• I prefer virtual meetings
• My schedule is already full with my children's education
• Communication must be via email


✦ What Edward Tried Anyway

He continued to suggest:
➤ An in-person home visit
➤ A dual-purpose meeting to “also meet the children”
➤ A plan to “type to one another” during the meeting—
as if typing is an innovative accommodation rather than exactly what I already asked for via email.


✦ SWANK Translation:

He took:

“Please don’t make me speak. I’ll email you everything you need.”

And turned it into:

“Let me show up anyway and try to multitask the meeting with a surprise home observation.”

No thank you.


✦ Final Word

This is not partnership.
It’s performative flexibility wrapped in polite paternalism.

You can’t violate medical boundaries and call it compassion.
You can’t ignore documented communication adjustments and call it "efficient planning."

My health is not a scheduling inconvenience.
It’s a legal boundary.
And I already gave you the answer—in writing.

✸ WELCOME TO SWANK
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


✦ The Exchange

On 18 March 2024, I responded to an email from Edward Kendall, a Senior Practitioner with Westminster’s North West Social Work Team, regarding yet another manufactured meeting under the guise of child protection.

Let me be clear:
already stated—repeatedly—that I cannot speak out loud due to a respiratory disability.
already confirmed that I prefer written communication.
already offered a time, place, and format that worked for my health and my children’s schedule.


✦ My Response

I confirmed we had a prior commitment:
❖ Romeo’s class that afternoon
I suggested a more suitable alternative:
❖ Tomorrow at 4pm to meet the children
I stated my legal adjustment needs:
❖ Virtual meeting preferred
❖ No verbal speech required
❖ Written response only to avoid lung stress

I even provided my number and clarified that email is always best.


✦ Their Response?

Despite my clear message, Edward continued to propose in-person visitsoral meetings, and drop-ins, demonstrating a complete lack of regard for:
— My respiratory condition
— My communication boundaries
— My previously submitted complaints
— The principle of informed consent


✦ The Pattern is Clear

When a mother documents everything,
the state pretends it wasn’t said.

When a mother says she can’t speak,
they ask her to talk louder.

When a mother sets a time,
they knock when they want.


✦ Final Word

Accommodations are not a courtesy.
They are a legal requirement.
My lungs are not a debate.
My children’s routine is not a variable.
And your refusal to respond in kind is the real safeguarding concern.

Your Email Has Been Filed — In a Folder Marked Irrelevant



⟡ “We’re Not Instructed”—So We’ll Just File It Ourselves ⟡
The Folder Where Urgency Goes to Die: Blackfords LLP and the Misclassification of Crisis as Inconvenience

Filed: 3 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/BLACKFORDS/EMAIL-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-03_Email_Blackfords_NotInstructed_Response_EvidenceNotice.pdf
Solicitor email confirming receipt of N1 claim but disclaiming professional obligation due to lack of instruction.


I. What Happened

On 3 March 2025, following the formal submission of an N1 civil claim against NHS defendants, Polly Chromatic(operating through SWANK London Ltd.) emailed solicitor Simon O’Meara of Blackfords LLP, notifying him of the court filing and associated evidence uploads.

His reply, though courteous, clarified that Blackfords was not instructed — and that her emails were now diverted to a separate folder due to volume. She was additionally asked not to copy in another solicitor “so as to avoid confusion.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • ⚖️ Procedural Breach: Treating legal correspondence regarding an active court claim as administratively negligible.

  • 😷 Human Impact: Undermines communication adjustments for disabled claimants — especially those with written-only capacity.

  • 📉 Power Dynamics: Declining involvement post-filing destabilizes vulnerable litigants and conceals disengagement behind “procedure.”

  • 🚨 Institutional Failure: Legal professionals’ inbox filtering becomes an opaque mechanism for abandoning duty.

  • 🚫 Unacceptable: Redirecting urgent legal documentation to a dead folder — while citing “volume” — is not a defensible practice.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This interaction is a textbook case of administrative deflection as reputational management: polite in tone, but indifferent in effect.

In a field where timing, clarity, and protection matter most, this kind of “we’re not instructed” response is not neutral — it’s structurally dangerous.

SWANK logged this because it illustrates the passive mechanics of abandonment, particularly for medically vulnerable claimants operating alone.

This is not legal disengagement. It is legal filtration — and SWANK documents every filter.


IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t courtesy.
It was institutional airbrushing of accountability.

⟡ We do not accept filing systems that bury urgency under admin volume.
⟡ We do not accept legal disengagement dressed as politeness.
⟡ We will document every folder marked “not our problem.”

Regulation 9 Invoked to Protect the Accused — Not the Harmed



⟡ “Too Late to Investigate — But Not Too Late to Archive.” ⟡
RBKC Formally Refuses to Investigate Complaint Against Eric Wedge-Bull and Brett Troyan, Citing Regulation 9

Filed: 27 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/EMAIL-07
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-27_SWANK_Email_RBKC_Regulation9Refusal_WedgeBull_Troyan.pdf
Summary: RBKC cites Regulation 9 to reject a formal complaint against social workers Eric Wedge-Bull and Brett Troyan, despite medical barriers and previously denied closure.


I. What Happened

On 23 May 2025, you submitted a formal complaint regarding misconduct by Eric Wedge-Bull and Brett Troyan. RBKC responded on 27 May 2025, stating that:

– The matters occurred more than 12 months ago
– The case is therefore “out of time” under Regulation 9
– You failed (allegedly) to justify why the complaint was not submitted sooner
– No further investigation will be undertaken
– They acknowledge you’ve copied in the Local Government Ombudsman

RBKC’s response does not acknowledge your previously submitted complaints, your lack of consent to closure, or your disability-based communication barriers.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

• RBKC is invoking Regulation 9 as a shield, despite prior contact and known barriers
• Procedural timelines are used to erase misconduct, not to protect complainants
• Safeguarding professionals remain uninvestigated due to bureaucratic thresholds
• There is no attempt to address retaliationharassment, or discriminatory behaviour
• You are referred to the LGSCO — effectively forced to escalate because of administrative avoidance


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when institutions say “too late,” they’re not talking about the harm — they’re talking about the paperwork.
Because Regulation 9 is meant to protect administrators, not survivors.
Because procedural fencing should never override disability access, trauma timelines, or prior mismanagement.

SWANK documents every refusal disguised as a rule — and every silence built on timing.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that Regulation 9 can be used to silence retaliatory complaints.
We do not accept that prior submission without consent to closure can be erased.
We do not accept that safeguarding failures become acceptable after 365 days.

This wasn’t a time limit. It was an institutional escape hatch.
And SWANK will record every refusal that dared to call itself lawful.
