Summary (1 line): Written communication demanded as lawful adjustment; refusal is discrimination and procedural collapse.
I. What Happened
I suffer from eosinophilic asthma and sewer gas–induced dysphonia. Extended verbal communication causes acute pain, strain, and respiratory risk. Despite this, Westminster insisted on spoken-only interaction, dismissing my lawful written submissions as “non-engagement.”
II. What the Addendum Establishes
Medical Limitation Ignored
Documented disability aggravated by hostile demands.
Legal Duties Breached
Refusal of reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010.
Procedural Unsafety
Article 6 ECHR fair trial rights undermined by inaccessible procedure.
Children’s Rights Compromised
When I am misrepresented as disengaged, my children’s voices are filtered through inaccurate records, breaching Article 12 UNCRC.
III. Consequences
Disability aggravated; recovery obstructed.
Participation misrepresented; written engagement distorted into “refusal.”
Proceedings rendered unsafe and discriminatory.
Children’s welfare compromised by falsified records of parental engagement.
IV. Legal and Doctrinal Violations
Children Act 1989 – welfare principle breached; parental voice excluded.
Equality Act 2010 – s.20–21 reasonable adjustments ignored; s.26 harassment; s.149 Public Sector Equality Duty disregarded.
ECHR – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (family life) infringed.
UNCRC, Article 12 – child’s right to be heard undermined.
UNCRPD, Articles 2 and 5 – refusal of disability accommodation.
Case Law Ignored:
Re B-S (2013) – proportionality and evidence-based procedure required.
Re G (2003) – fairness requires genuine opportunity to participate.
A v UK (1998) – unjustified interference with family life breaches Article 8.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not safeguarding. It is institutional harassment masquerading as engagement: lawful written submissions erased, disability aggravated, children’s rights distorted.
Closing Declaration
The Mirror Court declares: Westminster confused disability with defiance, accommodation with avoidance. Written communication is lawful engagement, not non-engagement. Their refusal of reasonable adjustments is hereby archived as discrimination and procedural collapse.
