“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

I. Welcome to Politeness as Policy

This document is not an email thread.
It is a procedural novella written in faux-concern and administrative breathlessness.
Its cast includes:

  • Eric Wedge-Bull, Advanced Practitioner and patron saint of overfriendly pressure

  • Milena Abdula-Gomes, social work student and uninvited houseguest-in-waiting

  • Annabelle Kapoor, headteacher turned emotional hostage negotiator

Across 22 pages of timestamped theatre, a pattern emerges:

  • “Take care” means: we’re watching

  • “Just checking in” means: why won’t you comply?

  • “Warmest regards” means: we’re escalating

II. The Misuse of Courtesy as Institutional Disguise

RBKC’s Family Services wrote repeatedly, empathetically, and endlessly:

  • After you were hospitalised

  • While you were breathless

  • In breach of your disability adjustments

  • And with zero procedural basis for involvement

They were not protecting children.
They were protecting a narrative — one in which you were fragile, unpredictable, and needing to be monitored.

This timeline logs every act of rhetorical smothering:
The false empathy.
The deliberate misreading of refusal as confusion.
The staged offers of “support” which were, in fact, soft surveillance.

III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because polite retaliation is still retaliation.
Because “supportive tone” does not override unlawful contact.
Because no one should be pressured into verbal contact while recovering from medical harm, just to pacify institutional insecurity.

This timeline was published not because it’s unusual — but because it is exactly how safeguarding misuse sounds.

Read it. Then ask:
If it wasn’t misconduct — why does it need so much charm?

IV. Filing Notes

  • Communication adjustment ignored

  • Health status repeatedly downplayed

  • Multiple unlawful home visit attempts

  • Emotional manipulation masked as “relationship-building”

  • False representation of consent to meetings

  • Written requests converted into verbal coercion

Let the record show:

This is what it looks like before the supervision order arrives.
This is how institutions behave before retaliation becomes formal.
This is how they write — when they still think you’ll never publish.
