A Formal Complaint Regarding the Improvised Double Act of Sally Silly and Her Mother: A Study in Professional Misconduct, Disability Disregard, and Procedural Farce


🦚 A Formal Complaint Regarding the Improvised Double Act of Sally Silly and Her Mother: A Study in Professional Misconduct, Disability Disregard, and Procedural Farce

Filed under the solemn documentation of safeguarding collapse and bureaucratic absurdity.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding the Improvised Double Act of Sally Silly and Her Mother – A Study in Professional Misconduct, Disability Disregard, and Procedural Farce

🧾 Dear RBKC Complaints Department,

I write to you today not merely to lodge a formal complaint, but to invite your office — if only momentarily — to reflect on how far standards have eroded in what purports to be a functioning public service.

This particular complaint concerns Ms. Sally Silly, allegedly a social worker employed by RBKC, and — quite inexplicably — her mother, who appeared to assume the role of lead professional during an official safeguarding home visit in February 2024.

📜 Background: Disability Ignored, Protocol Abandoned

Prior to this visit, I submitted multiple written requests for written-only communication, supported by formal medical documentation.
As clearly communicated on record, I live with:

  • Eosinophilic asthma;

  • Muscle tension dysphonia;

  • The long-term effects of sewer gas exposure.

Conditions which render verbal speech during stress medically unsafe.

These reasonable adjustments were not merely overlooked.
They were entirely disregarded.

Instead, I was met with the surreal spectacle of a home visit:

  • Led not by a credentialed professional;

  • But by the unvetted, unintroduced mother of one —

  • Performing civic duty with the enthusiasm of amateur dramatics.

The visit lasted approximately five minutes, and is preserved via unedited video documentation.

During that encounter:

  • My eldest son was asked if he had any concerns. He reasonably said, "no."

  • I was pressured to speak aloud, despite pre-notified clinical barriers.

  • The visit was abruptly concluded and immediately followed by a disproportionate and retaliatory case escalation.

📚 Child Protection Conference: Falsehoods and Flippancy

At the subsequent initial child protection conference:

  • Ms. Silly’s mother (still operating without title, remit, or legal authority) falsely asserted that my family had been banned from temporary accommodation — a claim entirely unsupported and trivially disproven;

  • She also made a flippant comment on how "cute" my children were — a remark so absurdly inappropriate that it underscored the procedural collapse into farce.

Inappropriate familiarity replaced professional assessment.
Falsehoods replaced factual safeguarding evaluation.

📚 Professional Concerns

I respectfully submit the following breaches for formal review:

ConcernDescription
Failure to Respect Disability AccommodationsWritten requests for adjustments, protected under the Equality Act 2010, were flagrantly ignored.
Breach of Professional BoundariesThe unvetted presence of a social worker’s mother during a safeguarding visit obliterated professional integrity.
Unlawful Escalation and False ReportingThe case was escalated on fabricated grounds, resulting in undue emotional harm.
Inappropriate Behaviour and CommentaryRemarks about children's appearance were wholly unprofessional and contextually grotesque.

🩻 Remedy Requested

Accordingly, I request that RBKC:

  1. Initiate a full and transparent investigation into the conduct of Ms. Sally Silly and her accompanying family member;

  2. Clarify authorisation protocols, and under what possible justification a relative was permitted to attend and lead an official safeguarding visit;

  3. Confirm Ms. Silly’s professional registration status with Social Work England, and disclose whether this incident has been referred for regulatory investigation;

  4. Issue a formal written apology, acknowledging the distress caused and affirming that such a collapse of professional standards will not recur.

📜 Closing Remarks

This visit was not merely unprofessional.
It was absurd.

What was required was:

  • Care,

  • Professionalism,

  • Clarity.

What I received was:

  • Confusion,

  • Falsehood,

  • An unauthorised familial intrusion masquerading as safeguarding practice.

That such an incident could occur under the auspices of RBKC Children’s Services speaks to a profound failure of oversight, ethics, and respect for disabled parents and vulnerable children.

It is not only the incident that is shocking.
It is the silence that followed.

I trust — or at least insist — that this matter will now be treated with the seriousness it so evidently demands.

Yours,
With constitutional formality and documented indignation,
Polly
