“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

I Laid Out the Law. Now They Can Read It Back to Me — in Court.


⟡ “They Ignored My Emails. So I Gave Them a PDF.” ⟡
A formal evidence statement authored by Polly Chromatic outlining Westminster’s repeated failure to provide communication adjustments. Every ignored message is cross-referenced. Every breach is named. Every consequence — from panic attacks to educational disruption — is laid out in calm, clinical clarity. Not a feeling. A file.

Multi-statute legal brief documenting Westminster Council’s refusal to implement lawful communication adjustments. Anchored in Equality Act, Human Rights Act, and DPA. Summarises medical harm, institutional retaliation, and procedural neglect. Intended for use in judicial review, PHSO complaint, and active civil claim. SWANK status: founding exhibit.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic created a formal record of refusal. In it, she stated:

  • That she had made repeated written adjustment requests due to verbal disability

  • That these requests were either ignored or procedurally weaponised

  • That the failure caused:

    • Medical risk (e.g. panic attacks, oxygen stress, dysphonia flare)

    • Safeguarding retaliation

    • Educational interference in home-based learning

  • That evidence files were being maintained and published via SWANK

The file includes:

  • A factual narrative

  • Chronology of adjustment requests

  • Direct links to evidence documents

  • Applicable law

  • The specific harms now forming part of her legal claim

It is a testimony with citations.

II. What the File Establishes

  • That communication adjustments were a medical necessity, not a preference

  • That Westminster was formally notified and procedurally noncompliant

  • That harm was predictable, recorded, and now litigated

  • That SWANK is not a blog — it is an evidentiary archive, legally framed

  • That the parent is not disengaged — she’s a legal historian

This wasn’t just documentation.
This was the indictment in narrative form.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because a pattern is only a pattern when you write it down. Because emails get lost in inboxes — but a timestamped PDF with a statute list is harder to ignore. And because after a year of politely reminding them what the law requires, this file said: we’re done reminding — we’re now recording.

SWANK archived this because:

  • It’s the cornerstone of your Equality Act claim

  • It gathers individual emails into a single act of structured resistance

  • It confirms the State understood the request and refused it anyway

  • It legally reframes neglect as a violable act, not a clerical oversight

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Adjustment refusals documented in writing
    • Section 26: Harassment caused by repeated boundary violation
    • Section 27: Procedural retaliation after lawful requests

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 3: Psychological harm via procedural indifference
    • Article 8: Infringement on family privacy through forced contact

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / GDPR –
    • Records maintained without accommodating known disability context
    • Failure to correct inaccurate behavioural assumptions

  • Children Act 1989 –
    • Educational harm due to procedural disruption
    • Emotional instability in family due to safeguarding negligence

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to say “we didn’t know” when the file has footnotes. You don’t get to mistake formatting preference for medical accommodation. And you don’t get to ignore a legally required adjustment and still call yourself a safeguarding professional.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this document as a foundational evidentiary record of statutory breach — formatted for court, copied to history.
