“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.

Stop Expecting Us to Breathe Like You Do



🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 24 November 2024
“Therapy Is Not a Cure for Institutional Ableism”

Filed Under: Adjustment Denied · Therapy Blocked · Disability Misunderstood · Verbal Coercion · Community Exclusion · SWANK London Ltd

Dear Kirsty,

“I’d love to go to therapy but no one will provide adjustments for my disability needs…”

That is not defiance.
That is the documentation of exclusion.

Not a lack of willingness — a lack of access.
Not refusal — obstruction.
A blockade made of unacknowledged needs and verbal tyranny disguised as procedure.

“This limits my ability as well as my kids’ ability to integrate into the community at all.”

And yet, the blame lands on us—
As though exclusion were a matter of attitude, not architecture.

“You keep expecting us to behave like people who don’t have a disability, and we can’t.”

Can’t, not won’t.
That difference defines the law.
Your refusal to grasp it is not a misunderstanding. It is a violation.

“Someone needs to call the mental health practice and help them understand…”

Indeed. Because until they comprehend communication that does not rely on breath and noise,
therapy is not therapy.
It is a performative corridor of pain, lined with clinical ignorance.

You do not get to say I “declined support” when no support was ever offered in an accessible form.

⟡ When the Hospital Refuses to Treat You and Calls a Social Worker Instead ⟡
“I went to breathe. They sent police. And now I need a psychologist to recover from the psychologist they sabotaged.”

Formal written summary to Westminster staff outlining a one-year pattern of NHS neglect, racialised assumptions, police overreach, and social work retaliation.


I. What Happened

On 30 October 2024, the parent submitted an email to Westminster Children’s Services detailing an unbroken chain of trauma and procedural abuse:

  • Five asthma attacks treated as behavioural issues in A&E

  • Two hospitals that refused care while summoning social services

  • Accusations of abuse during active medical distress

  • A birthday ruined by police in a hotel room while the parent was seeking urgent care

  • Social workers who lied to a treating psychologist, blocking access to mental health support

The email is addressed to Kirsty Hornal. It does not contain legal theory. It contains testimony.

And now it contains a record.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That racial and disability profiling in NHS emergency departments triggered unnecessary safeguarding referrals

  • That the family experienced dual-agency trauma — medical dismissal followed by social work escalation

  • That psychiatric care was actively sabotaged by the institution claiming to be concerned

  • That children were directly harmed by the institutional response to their mother’s health crisis

  • That no institution — not the hospital, nor social services — acted to repair the harm caused


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you go to the hospital to get air, and leave with a social worker — you’re not being assessed.
You’re being profiled.

Because when nine police officers are sent to a hotel on your child’s birthday — it’s not support.
It’s a message.

Because when a psychologist is contacted and misled to stop her from treating you —
You are not under care.
You are under control.

This email is not just a trauma log.
It is an institutional map of harm, sent to the very people who orchestrated it.

And now, it is archived.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 19 and 20
    Discrimination by association (race), failure to implement medical and psychiatric adjustments

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Harm to children through unjustified intervention and prolonged distress

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6, 8, 14
    Degrading treatment; denial of private life, health support, and fair process

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR
    Misuse of personal data to block access to independent psychological care

  • NHS Duty of Care (Common Law + GMC Guidelines)
    Negligence in treatment during respiratory emergency, racialised escalation


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a safeguarding concern.
It was a multi-agency breakdown engineered through institutional arrogance.

This was not “confusion” between services.
It was discrimination passed between departments like liability hot-potato.

The trauma is cumulative.
The response is performative.
And the archive is permanent.

We said we couldn’t breathe.
You gave us a referral.
We sent you an email.
Now we file it.
