“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

You Got the Email Before the Collapse. You Just Didn’t Want It to Be Real.


⟡ “It Hurts to Speak. But You Still Expect a Performance.” ⟡
An exhausted but deliberate message from Polly Chromatic to Westminster safeguarding officer Kirsty Hornal and legal counsel Simon O’Meara and Laura Savage. The email is short. Calm. And clear: the parent is in medical crisis. Speech is physically painful. Alternative access options (sign language, email) are proposed. The implication is simple: if you continue to escalate after this, it’s no longer negligence. It’s malice.

Message sent to Westminster safeguarding and legal teams during an acute episode of respiratory and verbal disability. Asks for space, minimal contact, and recognition of communication limits. Suggests use of sign language or email. Reinforces that talking causes harm. Does not accuse. Does not plead. Merely informs — and makes the record complete.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic sent an email that said:

  • “It hurts too much to talk.”

  • “I feel very sick when I try to speak.”

  • “I know sign language and would rather do that.”

  • “If I have to speak… it could make me pass out.”

She wrote it while struggling to breathe.
She sent it to:

  • Kirsty Hornal

  • Simon O’Meara

  • Laura Savage
    And blind-copied a trusted witness.

No request for sympathy.
Just clarity.
And evidence.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That verbal communication was medically unsafe

  • That WCC and legal professionals were formally notified

  • That accommodation alternatives were proposed

  • That silence or verbal withdrawal were not avoidance — they were clinical necessity

  • That this message forms part of the “collapse-to-record” sequence

It is the medical moment before the archive went fully non-verbal.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because safeguarding doesn’t mean forcing speech from someone choking. Because access doesn’t mean waiting until it’s convenient for you to care. And because when the system keeps calling meetings you can’t attend, and asking questions you’re not well enough to answer — the only ethical response is a written record that proves they knew.

SWANK archived this because:

  • It is your clearest post-verbal disability notice

  • It introduces alternative access options that were ignored

  • It shows your condition in real time — not theory

  • It is an intake-ready exhibit for clinical negligence and safeguarding retaliation claims

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Refusal to adjust procedure when speech is unsafe
    • Section 27: Re-triggering harm through contact after boundary

  • Children Act 1989 –
    • Procedural misuse of CP systems when parent is medically incapacitated

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 3: Psychological and physical harm via procedural aggression
    • Article 8: Violation of family life through unsafe demands

  • SWE / Legal Ethics –
    • Expecting verbal performance from a known disabled parent = misconduct

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to say she was uncooperative when she said: “I’ll use sign language.” You don’t get to treat breathing difficulty like non-engagement. And you definitely don’t get to keep convening meetings when the parent is telling you: “This is making me pass out.”

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this email as a clinical disengagement record, verbal accommodation request, and legal notification of post-verbal communication limits.
