Subject:
Formal Complaint – Metropolitan Police Violation of Disability Adjustments (3 June 2025)
Date: 3 June 2025
Dear IOPC Complaints Team,
Consider this a formal submission to the archive of modern British institutional failure. I refer to the unjustifiable attendance of Metropolitan Police officers at my private residence on the morning of 3 June 2025—an incident so flagrant in its disregard for disability law that one wonders whether training has been entirely replaced by improvisational theatre.
The facts, which I presume will not be contested:
A clearly visible sign affixed to my door specifying no contact except in writing
A documented and longstanding communication adjustment, known to multiple agencies
Diagnosed conditions including:
Eosinophilic Asthma
Muscle tension dysphonia
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — the latter acquired not through random misfortune, but through sustained institutional harassment
Despite these safeguards, officers arrived uninvited, unannounced, and wholly uninformed. This intrusion followed closely on the heels of a threatening email from a local safeguarding officer — an email which had already triggered a psychological spiral requiring days of recovery. The police arrival escalated the harm into the physical realm: my hands went numb, my breathing constricted, and I was once again re-traumatised by the very systems meant to offer protection.
⚖️ Legal Grounds for IOPC Scrutiny
I am formally requesting the IOPC to log and investigate this incident on the following legal foundations:
Breach of the Equality Act 2010 – failure to honour a pre-established disability adjustment
Violation of Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 – unwarranted intrusion into private life
Institutional negligence in the handling of known clinical vulnerabilities
Re-traumatisation through coercive and unauthorised contact
For the avoidance of doubt: this was not a welfare check. It was a procedural violation, cloaked in bureaucratic indifference, carried out by uniformed agents of state harm.
The original letter to the Metropolitan Police’s Professional Standards Department is enclosed for your reference. Kindly confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a formal case reference. One must presume that even in the realm of police oversight, paperwork still counts for something.
Yours, with documented dismay,
Polly Chromatic
