THE ART OF NOT LISTENING: Social Work as a Performance of Deafness
Filed Under: Disability Discrimination, Verbal Coercion, Retaliatory Safeguarding, Email Theatre, Reasonable Adjustment Violations, Medico-Legal Escalation
Dear Samira Issa,
You have now contacted me three times regarding the same incident. The same. Let us say it in a larger font for the bureaucrats at the back:
I HAVE ALREADY RESPONDED.
And yet — despite a documented, medically mandated refusal to speak on the phone due to asthma, PTSD, and muscle tension dysphonia, you wrote:
“Would you be able to meet with me in person? A verbal conversation will be beneficial…”
Bene-ficial.
To whom, exactly?
Because it is certainly not beneficial to me, a mother with a breathing condition so severe that it has hospitalised me. Nor is it lawful, moral, or in compliance with Equality Act 2010 standards.
Let Us Clarify the Hierarchy of Needs:
Breathing > Bureaucracy
Safety > Surveillance
Written Adjustments > Forced Conversation
You do not get to override disability law to suit your referral performance metrics.
You are not an agent of support. You are an agent of repetition.
This is harassment.
This is a violation.
This is legal evidence.
Your refusal to acknowledge written instructions is no longer merely inappropriate. It is institutional negligence. And worse — it is part of a pattern. The same hospital. The same incident. The same referral. Again. Again. Again.
I do not need help.
I need you to stop pretending not to understand.
So, let me be emphatically, typographically clear:
NO.
I will not speak on the phone.
NO.
I will not come to your office.
NO.
I will not engage with a safeguarding system that is, in practice, a loop of psychological abuse.
I have now retained legal counsel.
Expect a formal action regarding:
Medical negligence
Disability discrimination
Institutional harassment under the guise of “concern”
Until then, refrain from contacting me outside of strictly written, legal correspondence.
If you require clarification, please re-read the above. In fact, re-read this entire dispatch aloud in your office — and then ask yourself why social work has become the front desk of systemic trauma.
