Racial Identity Isn’t Optional. Ignoring It Is a Violation.

A formal email to Westminster and RBKC officials, copied to NHS, the Metropolitan Police, and Social Work England, documenting concerns around racism, misrepresentation of the children’s father, and systemic refusal to accommodate cultural or language needs.

---

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic issued this email to over twelve institutional contacts after repeated efforts to schedule a PLO meeting devolved into racial mischaracterisation and disregard for the father’s linguistic and cultural identity.

The email included:

• Concern over how her children’s non-white background was erased

• Objection to forced English-only communication despite known barriers

• Complaint about the refusal to provide cultural or linguistic accommodations

• A formal cc to Social Work England and the Metropolitan Police

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Institutional refusal to acknowledge ethnic and linguistic needs

• Systemic misrepresentation of the father’s role and origin

• Hostile, mono-cultural framing of a cross-cultural household

• Patterned sidelining of both parent and paternal identity

• Multi-agency record of escalation, sent to medical and legal oversight bodies

---

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because saying “he’s not white, he’s not English, and you’re ignoring that” is not inappropriate — it’s the only honest thing left to say.
Because when a mother documents the erasure of her children’s identity, and no one replies —
that silence becomes part of the record.

---

IV. Violations

• Equality Act 2010: racial discrimination and cultural exclusion

• Human Rights Act: interference with private and family life

• Language Access breach: failure to offer translation or accommodate

• Ethical misconduct under Social Work England’s framework

• Institutional gaslighting of lived ethnic identity

---

V. SWANK’s Position

Polly Chromatic was never asking for special treatment.
She was asking that her children’s origins not be deleted for bureaucratic convenience.
This letter proves the request was made —
and the silence was deliberate.

CHILDHOOD INTERRUPTED: A TEN-YEAR LESSON IN HOW TO UNLEARN TRUST

📘 THIS ISN’T A CASE. THIS IS A CLASSROOM.

“It’s been very disruptive to homeschooling to have social workers disrupting our day for ten years for no reason…”

This is not child protection.
This is pedagogical vandalism.
You have not observed—you have interfered.
Ten years of unsanctioned intrusion is not diligence. It is dysfunction, draped in lanyards.

---

⏱ MISSED APPOINTMENTS. MISSED CHILDHOOD.

“…and all the no shows are irritating to us all.”

You no-show.
You reschedule.
You forget.
And yet you call it professionalism.

A child learns something from every encounter.
Yours have taught mine that time doesn’t matter, and promises are ornamental.

---

📎 STILL NOT VERBAL. STILL NOT YOUR PROBLEM?

“Please Note: I cannot speak verbally. Please email only. I do not own a phone.”

This is not an aesthetic preference.
It is a medical mandate.
Failure to comply is not inconvenience—it’s discrimination.

You cannot assess when you refuse to listen.
You cannot safeguard when your presence endangers the lesson plan.

I’M NOT AVOIDING THERAPY. YOU’RE AVOIDING ACCESS.

🩺 THE STATEMENT THEY RECEIVED—AND STILL REFUSED TO UNDERSTAND:

“I’d love to go to therapy but no one will provide adjustments for my disability needs...”
“It is not our problem. It is your community’s problem.”
“You keep expecting us to behave like people who don’t have a disability—and we can’t.”
“Someone needs to call the mental health practice and explain that I can’t explain everything verbally.”

You didn’t misunderstand.
You simply didn’t care to translate accommodation into action.

---

🧠 FOR THOSE ALLERGIC TO DIGNITY, HERE’S A TRANSLATION:

I asked for therapy.
You offered a trapdoor lined with expectations.

I required written communication.
You insisted on performance.

I named the exclusion.
You punished the diagnosis.

This is not “non-engagement.”
It’s exclusion, dressed up in procedural couture.

---

📎 ACCESS STATEMENT (IGNORED, AS EVER):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

Your refusal is now formal.
Your evasion is now archived.

💬 THE MESSAGE YOU RECEIVED—AND STILL FAILED TO DECODE:

“I’d love to go to therapy but no one will provide adjustments for my disability needs, and this limits my ability as well as my kids’ ability to integrate into the community at all.”
“It is not our problem. It is your community’s problem.”
“You keep expecting us to behave like people who don’t have a disability—and we can’t.”
“I think someone needs to call the mental health practice and help them understand that I can’t explain everything verbally, since they couldn’t understand when I told them, apparently.”

---

🧠 TRANSLATED FOR THE VERBALLY DEPENDENT, ACCESS-ILLITERATE PROFESSIONALS:

I requested therapy with adjustments.
You offered verbal performance instead.
I disclosed my communication needs.
You pathologised my precision.
I named exclusion.
You escalated it.

---

🗣 ACCESS STATEMENT—STILL UNREAD, STILL UNMET:

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

You offer assessments with no access.
You offer support with no structure.
And then you call us “noncompliant.”

---

📎 CLOSING NOTE FOR FUTURE TRIBUNALS:

This isn’t therapy avoidance.
It’s documentation of access denial masquerading as care.
Your system resents the quiet.
Mine will publish it.

✉️ THE EMAIL THAT WAS “TOO MUCH” FOR PROFESSIONALS:

“I’m having a hard time reading written communication from anyone because I’m met with rejection so often and it’s traumatising and heartbreaking for me.”
“Such as the mental health centre and psychologist and police responding by telling me to stop emailing them when I’m trying to explain my perspective in the best way I can without compromising my ability to talk and breathe.”
“I can’t explain all of this verbally repeatedly and I can’t email each person and explain it repeatedly either because I have four kids to homeschool and care for and I have to also work.”
“I have to be as efficient as possible.”

This is not a tantrum.
It is a compressed survival dispatch.

🧠 INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSES, TRANSLATED:

🙉 “Please stop emailing us.”
🙈 “We’re too overwhelmed to read.”
🙊 “Just talk to us—never mind your lungs.”

---

🧬 ACCESS STATEMENT (WHICH YOU CONTINUE TO VIOLATE):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

If email causes you stress,
you should not be in public service.
Because disability access is not a lifestyle request—
it is a legal right.

---

📝 FINAL NOTE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF Inbox Fragility:

I write to preserve breath.
You recoil from formatting.
I email to streamline survival.
You call it excessive.

If you cannot cope with correspondence,
step away from other people’s lives.
