I. A Meeting Called "Support" That Won’t Allow Witnesses

The exchange begins with yet another overreach.
Samira Issa, Social Worker at RBKC, confirms:

• A mapping meeting on 1 March

• An ICPC conference on 4 March

• Her refusal to allow the meeting to be recorded, threatening to terminate the session if recording is suspected

She cloaks this refusal in faux empathy:

“We appreciate this may be frustrating, but we do not believe that recording contributes to productive conversations.”

Translation: we want to be free to rewrite your words.

II. Noelle’s Response: Decisive, Calm, Devastating

At 21:27, Noelle responds with a field manual in integrity:

“Recording is a great tool for improving the productiveness of communication.”
“My children and I use recordings as a tool to pinpoint areas of improvement in our own behaviour and communication.”

She doesn’t argue.
She models a standard—one the social workers cannot meet.

“Humans who strive to be their best see the value in recording discussions… and don’t see it as a barrier.”

This is not a reply. It is a diagnosis of their fear of accuracy.

—

III. Samira’s Logic Breaks Under Its Own Weight

Despite calling the meeting “supportive”, she:

• Refuses children’s presence

• Refuses written clarity about concerns

• Refuses to be recorded

• Insists on writing a report based on what only she heard

That is a trap disguised as help.

I. A Mapping Meeting with No Map—and No Witness

On 28 February 2024, Samira Issa emails Polly Chromatic confirming:

• The Initial Child Protection Conference on 4 March

• A “mapping meeting” on 1 March at 11am

• That she “does not agree to be recorded” and will terminate the meeting if recording is suspected

• She claims recordings are unproductive, but insists her own summary of the meeting—not the conversation itself—will be shared.

That is not safeguarding.
That is narrative control.

II. Polly’s Response: A Masterpiece in Professional Elegance

At 21:27, Polly replies to Samira, Glen Peache, Sarah Newman, Eric Wedge-Bull, and Rhiannon Hodgson:

“Recording is a great tool for improving the productiveness of communication.”
“My children and I use recordings as a tool to pinpoint areas of improvement in our own behaviour and communication.”
“Humans who strive to be their best see the value in recording discussions for the purpose of improving productivity and don’t see it as a barrier.”

This is not just a refusal.
It is a pedagogical declaration—a communication philosophy that exposes the institutional aversion to self-reflection.

---

III. What They Said, and What They Feared

Samira writes:

“We appreciate this may be frustrating, but we do not believe that recording contributes to productive conversations.”

But the truth is:
They don’t want to be held to what they actually said.
They want the power to rewrite meetings in their own tone—without your version, your memory, or your defence.

You Want a Meeting About My Children—but Refuse to Be Recorded Doing It

It’s Not a Mapping Session. It’s a Scripted Confessional for the Accused Parent.

I. The Mapping Request Wrapped in Pseudo-Therapy
Samira Issa (RBKC Social Worker) writes on 27 February 2024, inviting Noelle to a “mapping meeting” on 1 March at Malton Road Hub.

She frames it as support:

“The purpose of this is to gather your views and feelings in regards to the wellbeing of your children...”

But embedded beneath this faux-therapy language is an unstated demand: submit to verbal vulnerability without evidence of safety or trust.

II. Noelle Responds the Next Morning—with Documentation, Not Emotion

At 10:31am on 28 February, she replies with:

• A medical letter showing current health condition

• A statement of care from Royal Brompton Hospital

• A direct instruction:

  “If you wanted my current medical records... the best way to communicate is to ask directly.”

This is not a mother seeking approval. It is an administrative rebuke in health literacy prose.

III. The System Responds: No Recordings, No Accountability

At 16:42, Samira writes:

“We do not agree to be recorded... and if we have the sense this [is] being recorded we will terminate the meeting.”

Let’s be clear:

• They will not state their concerns

• They do not want their voices archived

• They only want your testimony, not their own documented process

That is power imbalance by design.

—

IV. When Mapping Becomes Performance

Samira ends by thanking Noelle for her records from 2016—ignoring that her medical issues are ongoing.
She states:

“I hope [your concern about lack of clarity] is something we can clarify in the mapping meeting.”

Translation:
We’ll tell you the charges when you show up. Privately. Off the record.
