The Email Where I Gave Them Everything — And They Gave Me Nothing.

⟡ “I Asked for Air. She Sent Me a Compliment.” ⟡
An email thread between Polly Chromatic and Westminster safeguarding officer Kirsty Hornal, requesting CP conference rescheduling and child inclusion due to disability and medical recovery. The parent is articulate, medically transparent, and legally correct. The reply deflects racism, sidesteps disability, and closes with a comment about dinosaur costumes. The archive makes a note. Westminster didn’t.

Thread includes direct medical disclosures, a rescheduling request due to breathing difficulties and psychiatric harm, and the child’s right to attend. The reply ignores legal access requirements, rejects racism as personal perception, and closes with performative warmth. Full cross-agency CC list: NHS, RBKC, legal counsel, and private mental health providers.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic sent an email to Kirsty Hornal. It included:

A clear and clinically supported disability disclosure
A request to reschedule a CP conference due to:
• Respiratory difficulty
• Emotional trauma
• Psychiatric recovery
A request for Regal (the child) to be present
A reminder that communication needed to be written only
Copies to:
• Simon O'Meara (Blackfords LLP)
• Dr Philip Reid (NHS)
• RBKC safeguarding lead
• Westminster management (Sarah Newman, Fiona Dias-Saxena)

Kirsty Hornal replied:

“I must say I don’t think I’ve acted in a racist manner.”
Made no procedural reference to child inclusion or disability rights
Closed with:
“Ending on a positive, the dinosaur photos made me smile.”

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was public relations dressed in pastel empathy.

II. What the Email Thread Establishes

That the parent made lawful, clear, written requests
That disability was explicitly disclosed and medical oversight was provided
That institutional responses ignored both the substance and the statute
That safeguarding was reframed as a tone issue, not a procedural harm
That child welfare was treated as a logistical inconvenience rather than a right

The parent said, “I can’t speak because you hurt me.”
The system replied, “But your tone could improve.”

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because racism doesn’t need to call you names. It just needs to reframe your collapse as overreaction. Because disability doesn’t disappear when it’s ignored — it escalates. And because when you reschedule your trauma around their timetable, and they still don’t hear you, the archive takes over.

SWANK archived this because:

It’s a thread of recorded refusal under a smile
It shows patterned deflection and minimisation of harm
It captures a final attempt to engage before total procedural withdrawal
It proves medical status was available, ignored, and overwritten with warmth

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 –
• Section 20: Adjustment refusal for communication and scheduling
• Section 26: Institutional responses as psychological harm
• Section 27: Retaliatory posture in denying claims of racism or bias
Children Act 1989 –
• Child exclusion from CP process without lawful rationale
• Procedural obstruction of parental input based on medical condition
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 8: Medical and emotional integrity of the family not protected
• Article 14: Racism denied, disability ignored — intersectional discrimination
Social Work England Code –
• Failure to reflect on practice (Standard 6.4)
• Communication that masks harm with tone (Standard 3.4)
• Misuse of authority to frame concern as attitude (Standard 5.1)

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to deny racism by saying you don’t think it happened. You don’t get to bypass a disability clause because the photos were cute. You don’t get to reframe trauma as communication failure when the record shows you were copied in. And you don’t get to pretend this is care — it’s just coordination theatre.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this thread as a performative safeguarding exchange, an example of recorded procedural failure, and a final documented offer of cooperation — archived before silence became necessity.

I Sent Them My Diagnosis. They Sent Me a Compliment.

⟡ “I Sent a Medical Update. She Sent a Smile.” ⟡
A detailed correspondence between Polly Chromatic and WCC safeguarding leadership coordinating a CP conference, explaining disability access needs, medical trauma, and systemic racism. The parent is direct, precise, and courteous. The reply is warm, evasive, and casually defensive. The archive doesn’t forget what the smiles are hiding.

Safeguarding email exchange in which the parent explains verbal communication barriers, confirms psychiatric support, and requests coordination in writing. Kirsty Hornal replies by deflecting racism claims, ignoring medical content, and thanking the parent for dinosaur costumes. The tone is kind. The substance is policy denial.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic emailed WCC’s safeguarding team with the following:

Confirmed a scheduled psychiatric assessment due to prior institutional harm
Restated verbal disability and request for written communication
Asked for coordination of the Child Protection conference via email due to illness
Cited ongoing medical recovery and trauma impacts
Repeated her standard disability footer, asking for respect of nonverbal formats

Kirsty Hornal replied:

To say she doesn’t “think [she] acted in a racist manner”
To reframe the coordination email as a matter of tone
To ignore the psychiatric evidence entirely
To end with:
“Ending on a positive: the dinosaur photos made me smile.”

A trauma disclosure received a compliment.
A clinical update received a smile.
And a disability notice was politely erased.

II. What the Email Establishes

That verbal contact limitations were restated before any escalation
That Westminster received formal psychiatric context and acknowledged none of it
That the safeguarding lead repositioned systemic critique as a personal slight
That medical realities were overwritten by cheer
That the parent was procedurally consistent, legally coherent, and emotionally transparent

This wasn’t communication. It was narrative suppression with emojis.

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because medical trauma isn’t resolved with compliments. Because psychiatric support is not a tone issue. And because when a parent shows you their diagnosis and their schedule and their boundary — and you smile back like they sent you a thank-you card — the archive steps in and tells the truth.

SWANK archived this because:

It contains a documented refusal to engage with disability content
It marks a deflection of racism as structural concern → personal denial
It captures the conversion of diagnosis into pleasantry
It proves parental attempts to engage are misfiled as tone problems

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 –
• Section 20: Disability adjustment request bypassed
• Section 27: Continued pressuring despite medical documentation
• Section 149: Public authority failure to acknowledge stated disability
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 3: Emotional harm through consistent institutional minimisation
• Article 14: Disability and racial bias denied through emotional redirection
Children Act 1989 –
• Safeguarding coordination failed to adjust for parental illness or diagnosis
Social Work England Code of Ethics –
• Personalisation of structural critique (“I don’t think I was racist”)
• No safeguarding reflection on trauma caused by prior CP interventions

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to reply to a psychiatric assessment with a compliment. You don’t get to call a boundary “a tone.” You don’t get to make safeguarding decisions while refusing to read medical text. And you definitely don’t get to overwrite trauma with dinosaur jokes.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this document as a performative deflection archive entry — where the parent did everything right, and the institution replied like it was PR rehearsal.

They Said “We Understand” — Then Came Anyway.

Disability adjustment request and CP conference deferral submitted to Westminster Children’s Services. Includes direct acknowledgment of written-only protocol and institutional illness.

I. What Happened

On 4 November 2024, the parent formally emailed Westminster Children’s Services to request:

A rescheduling of a child protection conference due to illness (parent and child)
Recognition of disability-related limits on verbal communication
Time to obtain a psychological assessment following trauma caused by state involvement

Despite acknowledging the child’s hospital visit, the parent’s throat condition, and a documented disability adjustment, the response from Kirsty Hornal:

Reaffirmed that fortnightly visits would continue anyway
Dismissed the impact of social services on the family’s health
Suggested she would “speak to the GP surgery” instead of respecting written-only limits
Closed the message by complimenting the family’s Halloween costumes

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster staff acknowledged a parent’s disability while actively ignoring its impact
That verbal communication was repeatedly pressured despite documented respiratory restrictions
That trauma and illness were used as scheduling factors — not as grounds for meaningful procedural accommodation
That safeguarding protocol was being pursued in parallel with informal, invalidating correspondence
That requests to delay the CP conference due to emergency illness were met with administrative minimisation

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you request a disability adjustment and the institution responds with:

“Until then, fortnightly visits will continue…”

— you’re not having a conversation.
You’re being procedurally managed.

This email is not about rescheduling.
It is about retaliation disguised as routine.

The polite tone doesn’t soften the reality:
Kirsty Hornal was fully aware of the medical and psychiatric conditions involved — and continued protocol without modification.
The adjustment was acknowledged, but never respected.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
Failure to implement written-only adjustments for a respiratory disability
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Procedural disregard for child welfare during confirmed illness
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
Unlawful intrusion into private life while acknowledging medical harm
Data Protection Act 2018
Use of medical disclosures to justify continued contact without consent

V. SWANK’s Position

This was not concern.
This was continuity without consent.

This was not a delay in scheduling.
It was an institutional decision to press forward — regardless of health.

You can’t ignore a disability and cite it in your email.
You can’t say “we understand” and then escalate anyway.
You can’t call it safeguarding if the harm is coming from you.

So now we call it what it is:
Logged.
