The Day They Decided My Medical Boundaries Were Optional.

⟡ “We’re Sick. We’re Disabled. They Scheduled a Visit.” ⟡
A six-page email chain between Polly Chromatic and Westminster Council’s Rachel Pullen. The parent requests verbal adjustments, defers a visit due to illness, and objects to strangers entering her home. Rachel ignores every clause, demands a fixed date, and slides Kirsty Hornal into the reply thread. This wasn’t negotiation. It was a prelude to procedural harm.

Thread documenting Westminster Council’s refusal to reschedule a safeguarding visit despite documented disability and illness. The parent objects to non-consensual home access and cites child trauma risk. The reply ignores every adjustment request and pre-assigns Kirsty Hornal. The chain marks the moment polite email became procedural violence.

I. What Happened

Between 20–24 September 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed Rachel Pullen. She said:

“We are sick with a virus… please don’t come tomorrow.”
“I have a disability that affects verbal speech. I prefer email.”
“I will not allow new workers around my children.”
“Your visits are creating medical harm and psychological danger.”
“This is not paranoia. This is procedural trauma from prior experiences.”

Rachel Pullen replied:

“We will definitely need to visit next Tuesday at 3:30pm.”
“We can’t keep rescheduling…”
Introduced: Kirsty Hornal
Ignored: all disability disclosures
Reframed: refusal of strangers as resistance, not protection

The reply was polite.
The result was coercive.

II. What the Email Thread Establishes

That written disability and medical concerns were raised clearly
That procedural inflexibility was prioritised over child and parental safety
That WCC refused to acknowledge past trauma or legal rights
That verbal communication boundaries were once again ignored
That a known safeguarding escalator (Hornal) was inserted mid-thread as a tactic

This wasn’t about the child.
It was about control and non-compliance correction.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because no safeguarding officer should insist on entering a sick home to meet a disabled parent who’s already told you — in writing — that your visits are unsafe. Because “we’re unwell” should not trigger an escalation. And because when they say you were uncooperative, this file says: No. You were medically reasonable. They were procedurally retaliatory.

SWANK archived this because:

It documents written refusal of disability adjustment
It confirms intentional scheduling despite stated harm
It contains preemptive rejection of new personnel
It marks the pretextual re-entry of Kirsty Hornal — against stated boundaries

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 –
• Section 20: No adjustment for illness or communication disability
• Section 26: Emotional harm via procedural inflexibility
• Section 27: Escalation in response to medical boundary
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 8: Interference in private and family life through unnecessary visitation
• Article 3: Cruel and degrading treatment via disregard of parental illness and vulnerability
Children Act 1989 –
• Misuse of safeguarding authority to force unnecessary contact
• Increased psychological risk to child via forced reentry of known harmful worker

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to ignore illness because your calendar is full. You don’t get to call parental protection paranoia. And you absolutely don’t get to assign Kirsty Hornal when the parent has already declared her a procedural threat — on record. What Rachel Pullen wrote was civil. What she enforced was institutional aggression.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this document as a safeguarding retaliation trigger chain, and a record of disability boundary override by Westminster staff.

⟡ They Called It “Support.” She Called Her Lawyer. ⟡
When Westminster attempts another doorstep disruption, the reply is written, timestamped, and legally unimpressed.

A formal legal notice declining further CIN (Child in Need) visits, citing medical exemption, multiple police reports, and active litigation against Westminster.

I. What Happened

Despite being under formal legal complaint, repeated police reporting, and active disability protections, Westminster sent yet another CIN visit demand.
The mother — already medically exempt from verbal interaction — responded in writing.
She documented the refusal.
She cited legal obligations.
She reminded them that “support” doesn’t override law.

II. What the Email Establishes

That the CIN visit request was made in full knowledge of the mother’s medical restrictions
That Westminster was already under formal legal scrutiny at the time
That the refusal was legally grounded, clearly worded, and archived for evidentiary purposes
That further contact would be treated as harassment

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because CIN plans are not get-out-of-jail-free cards for abusive institutions.
Because “refusing help” is not a crime — especially when the “help” comes with legal threats, policy breaches, and coercion.
And because silence is not consent when you’re being threatened in writing.

IV. Violations Identified

Continued Harassment Despite Medical and Legal Notice
Disability Discrimination Through Procedural Pressure
Retaliatory CIN Escalation During Active Litigation
Abuse of Child in Need Framework as a Control Mechanism
Procedural Malice in Disregard of Active Complaints

V. SWANK’s Position

There is no law that requires a disabled parent to open the door to their abusers.
There is no statute that says “child in need” means “mother under siege.”
And there is no future in which Westminster pretends this didn’t happen.
The refusal was lawful.
The pressure was not.

When Support Becomes a Symptom: A Disabled Parent’s Refusal to Inhale Any More Institutional Harm

⟡ “Irresponsibility Disgusts Me.” ⟡
A refusal issued from exhaustion. A boundary made clinical. A diagnosis of institutional collapse.

A direct statement from Polly Chromatic to Westminster Children’s Services, RBKC, safeguarding officers, legal advisors, and NHS professionals, outlining the health consequences and emotional harm of ongoing institutional contact.

I. What Happened
On 2 February 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a direct message to local authorities and their legal affiliates after repeated unwanted communication escalated asthma symptoms, triggered panic attacks, and further destabilised her health. The message does not ask for understanding. It issues refusal — legally, medically, and emotionally. It clarifies that institutional failure is not abstract. It is daily, clinical, and lived.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Ongoing contact is causing measurable respiratory harm
Emotional distress is not incidental — it is the result of sustained professional intrusion
Social workers have refused accountability while demanding emotional labour
Contact is not harmless when disability is known and ignored
The author’s disgust is not rhetorical — it is based in pattern, evidence, and exhaustion

III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because disgust is not the problem — irresponsibility is.
Because this wasn’t a misstep — it was the latest in a series of procedural violations framed as concern.
Because the refusal was not an emotional outburst.
It was a boundary delivered in plain language, to people who have spent years pretending not to hear.

This was not a meltdown.
It was a message.
And now it’s archived.

IV. Violations

❍ Equality Act 2010 – Ignoring known disability accommodations, including verbal exemption
❍ Article 8 ECHR – Disruption of private life and bodily autonomy via state intrusion
❍ Medical Harm – Aggravation of asthma and trauma symptoms through unwanted contact
❍ Safeguarding Misconduct – Repeated engagement without cause or benefit
❍ Negligence in Professional Conduct – Social work as performance, not responsibility

V. SWANK’s Position
This was not dramatic.
This was forensic refusal from a disabled person documenting harm in real time.

The emotional cost was always medical.
The medical cost is now documented.
The names are known.
The silence is noted.

Polly Chromatic has nothing more to explain.
The archive will handle it from here.
