⟡ “I Told Them I Couldn’t Speak. They All Replied with Silence.” ⟡
A single email sent to over a dozen professionals — safeguarding officers, solicitors, doctors, and educators — disclosing respiratory disability, post-court exacerbation, and the need for vocal rest. It wasn’t contested. It wasn’t accommodated. It was ignored.

An interagency disability notice explaining the impact of eosinophilic asthma, muscle dysphonia, and procedural hostility. Sent directly by the parent. Recipients included safeguarding, GPs, legal professionals, and school. None acted to protect or adapt.
I. What Happened
On 12 January 2025, Polly Chromatic issued an email to:
Westminster Children’s Services
RBKC Children’s Services
General Practitioners (Dr Reid and others)
Solicitors (including Glen)
School staff
Safeguarding leads and court-related professionals
The message explained:
A post-court respiratory collapse
The need for vocal rest to avoid further harm
The physical toll of state hostility
The clinical difference between social misunderstanding and medical consequence
She wasn’t requesting special treatment.
She was issuing a clinical stop notice — and sending it to every agency in play.
Not one created a plan.
Not one paused action.
Not one acknowledged what was medically explained.
II. What the Email Establishes
That all major actors received a direct disability disclosure
That the need for verbal silence was clearly expressed
That medical diagnoses were named, contextualised, and grounded in lived experience
That the parent was not just compliant — she was medically explicit and legally generous
That institutional silence wasn’t about misunderstanding — it was about refusal
III. Why SWANK Filed It
Because when every agency receives a disability notice and no one adjusts their behaviour, the problem isn’t lack of clarity — it’s a collective act of procedural negligence.
SWANK archived this because:
It disproves claims of ambiguity, resistance, or refusal to engage
It shows the parent anticipated risk and disclosed medical need across all sectors
It reveals the state-wide inability to accommodate or even respond
This isn’t absence of care — it’s institutional immunity to harm.

V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t one worker’s oversight. It was a coordinated failure to hear what had already been written down. You don’t get to say “we didn’t know” when the email was sent to everyone. And you don’t get to claim care while watching someone choke on your silence.
SWANK London Ltd. recognises this message as a system-wide disability disclosure — and a simultaneous, collective failure to respond.
