“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

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.
