“You’re not helping.
You’re harming.
And you’re using your job title to disguise it.”
— A Chronically Ill Mother Who Asked for Help and Got a Referral Instead
In this letter, Polly Chromatic directly confronts Samira Issa — the social worker who escalated a false safeguarding concern into a full Initial Child Protection Conference scheduled for 4 March 2024. The letter documents a pattern of:
Procedural breaches (including bringing her mother instead of a colleague)
Medical dismissal (despite visible disability and documented records)
Jurisdictional overreach (Noelle and her children reside in Westminster, not RBKC)
And a refusal to acknowledge even the basic communication needs of a disabled parent
📋 I. Highlights of the Letter
Polly had been exposed to toxic sewer gas in her flat and denied care by two NHS hospitals
She read the letter aloud to avoid the stress of repetition due to respiratory limitations
Samira is accused of emotional abuse as defined by the NSPCC:
Constant criticism
Micromanagement
Boundary violations
Neglect of stated health needs
Persistent hostility
🛑 II. A Refusal Framed as “Support”
“As I have shared with you previously, I am in no need of support from humans who aren’t capable of doing their own job correctly, let alone mine.”
— Polly Chromatic
She makes clear:
The conference itself is retaliatory theatre
She and her sons will attend — on their terms
She requests that Samira fill out her own mapping document in the same way Noelle has been asked to
And she cites her degrees in Psychology and Human Development, with a concentration in social justice, to frame this not just as personal harm — but as data for her research on institutional abuse

🧾 SWANK Commentary
She asked to write because she couldn’t breathe.
You pushed her to speak.
She sent medical records.
You asked questions she already answered.
She provided educational material.
You sent her to a conference.
And when she asked for space —
You called her children “at risk.”
