“A week, you said. It’s been thirteen days.”
— A Mother Counting Silence as Evidence

Dearest Viewer of Dysfunctional Timelines,

On 20 July 2020, Ashley Adams-Forbes, Deputy Director of the Department of Social Development, wrote the following words to Noelle Bonneannée:

“Please give me a week to provide you with an official letter.”

Noelle, as ever, was generous in patience — but today, on 3 August 2020, she followed up. Not with anger. With precision.

📅 I. What Was Promised

A letter.
An official response.
Reports regarding her children’s ongoing cases.
A formal engagement with a detailed timeline she herself had compiled — graciously, professionally.

📭 II. What Was Delivered

Nothing.
Thirteen days of silence.
Thirteen days in which Ashley Adams-Forbes simply did not honour her own commitment.

And this from an office allegedly devoted to the well-being of children.

📌 III. What the Silence Says

When a government department asks for a week and delivers nothing in thirteen days, it is not a delay.
It is a message.

And the message is this:
We do not take your concerns seriously.
We do not believe we are accountable to you.
We do not care that you are still waiting.

🖋️ Final Note from Noelle:

“I want my concerns to be taken seriously; however, my concerns seem to be continuously ignored.”

SWANK has taken note.
The archive remembers what they hoped to forget.

“I was gasping. You were silent. And then you asked if I’d followed up.”

Personal email to Westminster Children’s Services describing exhaustion, unacknowledged communication barriers, and failure to coordinate with NHS providers during ongoing medical crises.

I. What Happened

On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a written statement to Westminster Children’s Services after weeks of institutional disengagement and safeguarding interference.

The message included:

Confirmation that the parent was physically unwell and emotionally drained
Reference to a total lack of response or coordination from WCC during repeated hospital visits
Frustration that she was expected to follow up with doctors — after having already done so in writing
A reminder that she was medically exempt from verbal communication and had provided documentation repeatedly
A sense of procedural gaslighting: “I was dying. You didn’t notice.”

The message was not a request for contact. It was a notification of harm.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster failed to respond to multiple written medical updates
That disability adjustments were again ignored, even while the parent was visibly unwell
That the burden of coordination was placed entirely on a disabled parent under stress
That safeguarding oversight occurred without support, acknowledgment, or collaboration
That the system’s silence was not benign — it was erasure

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a disabled mother is gasping for air,
and the system asks why she hasn’t followed up,
that’s not just failure —
that’s institutional mockery.

Because when they expect updates from the person they refused to accommodate,
you’re not seeing a lack of care.
You’re seeing the strategy of plausible deniability.

And because when no one replies,
the archive does.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
Failure to honour written-only communication adjustment
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
Psychological and physical distress exacerbated by institutional silence
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Refusal to engage in active safeguarding coordination with NHS teams
Care Act 2014 – Communication Duty
Failure to communicate during active medical risk scenarios

V. SWANK’s Position

We did follow up.
You just didn’t read it.

We did escalate.
You just didn’t respond.

This wasn’t neglect.
It was willful silence.

So we sent one last email —
and now, we’ve filed it.
