“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.

We Asked to Reschedule. They Treated It Like Consent.



⟡ “We’re Sick, I Can’t Speak, and You’re Still Coming?” ⟡
“It’s not just harassment if I have to reschedule it myself.”

Email requesting the rescheduling of a child protection visit due to active illness and respiratory disability. Westminster proceeded regardless.


I. What Happened

On 24 September 2024, the parent submitted a written request to Westminster Children’s Services asking for a planned visit to be rescheduled due to:

  • An ongoing viral illness affecting the entire household

  • A well-documented respiratory disability impacting the parent's ability to speak

  • The continued arrival of new, unauthorised individuals in the home without consent

The tone was civil. The legal grounds were clear. The request was made in writing.

It was ignored.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster received a lawful request for written communication and visit rescheduling under medical duress

  • That they had already been made aware of the parent’s verbal disability — and proceeded to demand in-person interaction

  • That strangers continued to be sent into the home despite a formal objection

  • That illness, trauma, and relocation were treated as inconveniences — not as grounds for pause

  • That this was not a missed procedural step. It was enforcement by attrition.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you have to reschedule your own safeguarding visit due to illness, and they show up anyway —
that’s not support. It’s escalation.

Because when you explain that you cannot speak due to a documented medical condition, and they continue showing up unannounced —
that’s not oversight. It’s harassment.

And when you write it all down, politely, and it’s still ignored —
you stop asking for accommodation.
You start filing records.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to implement reasonable adjustments for a known verbal and respiratory disability

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Procedural refusal to reschedule safeguarding visits during a medical crisis

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
    Unlawful interference with private and family life during illness

  • Care Act 2014 (Statutory Guidance)
    Failure to respect a disabled parent’s expressed limits in light of documented vulnerability


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t just procedural overreach.
It was targeted persistence.

We didn’t say no.
We said: “We are sick. Please come later.”

You came anyway.

So now we say:
This wasn’t protection. It was refusal to disengage.
And now — it’s evidence.

You Had the File. You Asked for a Phone Call Anyway.



⟡ She Couldn’t Breathe. Neither Could I. And They Still Asked Me to Call. ⟡
“The GP called. I responded in writing. The social worker asked for a phone call.”

Filed: 21 November 2024

Written response confirming verbal communication disability and coordinating emergency care for Honor. Safeguarding staff ignored the adjustment and requested a phone call anyway.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, during an active respiratory emergency affecting both the parent and her daughter Honor, the parent:

  • Notified Kirsty Hornal and Dr Philip Reid that Heir’s oxygen levels remained dangerously low

  • Reaffirmed that verbal disability protocols were in place and that all communication must remain written-only

  • Coordinated via email with the GP

  • Declined a phone call requested by social services, citing her well-documented respiratory and psychiatric conditions

Despite knowing that the parent could not speak — and had already provided both a medical file and written updates— social services still attempted to escalate the interaction by demanding voice contact.

The email served as both a medical update and a formal refusal to breach the Equality Act.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster Children’s Services knowingly disregarded a written disability adjustment during a respiratory emergency

  • That the NHS GP was able to comply with written-only communication, but the social worker chose not to

  • That the verbal communication request was neither urgent nor legally necessary

  • That this occurred while Heir’s oxygen levels were being monitored and the parent was physically unable to speak

  • That the safeguarding framework continues to prioritise procedural dominance over legal compliance


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when your child is having breathing trouble and so are you — and someone asks you to call them anyway —
you’re not dealing with care. You’re dealing with control.

Because when the GP understands your limits and still responds in writing,
but the social worker doesn’t —
you’re no longer dealing with miscommunication. You’re dealing with defiance.

This isn’t failure to understand.
It’s refusal to comply.

So we complied with the law.
They didn’t.
And now we have the email.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Repeated failure to honour medically documented written-only adjustment

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
    Interference with bodily integrity and private family life during illness

  • Care Act 2014 – Statutory Safeguarding Guidance
    Ignored communication needs of disabled parent during acute care episode

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Failure to engage appropriately during an active emergency involving a minor


V. SWANK’s Position

We weren’t trying to avoid contact.
We were trying to breathe.

We didn’t refuse support.
We refused harassment masked as protocol.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
It was disregard, repeated in real time.

And now — it’s logged.
And published.

Justice for Sale: £1.1 Million in Disability Damages from the Crown



⟡ The Court That Required My Voice — and Ignored My Lungs ⟡

Filed: 1 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/JCIO/2025-DISABILITY-BREACH
📎 Download PDF — 2025-05-01_SWANK_JCIO_EvidenceBundle_CrownCourt_DisabilityViolation_TrialInjustice_£1.1MClaim.pdf


I. Justice for Sale: £1.1 Million in Disability Damages from the Crown

This submission to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) documents:

  • A Crown Court’s refusal to accommodate a written-only disability adjustment

  • Procedural disregard for respiratory collapse risk and trauma diagnoses

  • Institutional coercion masquerading as “trial preparation”

  • Psychological injury and litigation obstruction caused by enforced verbal exposure

The court didn’t need my voice.
It demanded it anyway — and then called that justice.


II. No Adjustment. No Participation. No Justice.

The evidence includes:

  • Chronology of denied accommodations

  • Emails confirming prior clinical documentation

  • Failed judicial oversight

  • Legal exclusion triggered not by law, but by ablist expectation

This wasn’t access to justice.
It was gatekeeping through phonics — in violation of statute, ethics, and human dignity.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because the courtroom is not exempt from law.
Because written-only adjustments are not “preferences” — they are medically grounded legal instruments.
Because when a court demands speech from a disabled claimant, it is no longer a tribunal — it is an engine of exclusion in robes.

Let the record show:

  • The risk was declared

  • The adjustment was dismissed

  • The exclusion was deliberate

  • And SWANK — filed it for £1.1 million

This isn’t contempt of court.
It’s contempt by court — and we returned it in evidence format.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not permit judicial architecture to disguise procedural abuse.
We do not accept that justice must be spoken aloud.
We do not allow the judiciary to reject medical truth without valuation.

Let the record show:

The courtroom wasn’t safe.
The judge ignored the file.
The law was breached.
And SWANK — filed every syllable in PDF.

This isn’t reformable.
It’s an archive of trial injustice, priced at £1.1 million, sealed in breath and refusal.







Why I Had to Request a Letter That Should Have Written Itself



⟡ The Letter I Shouldn’t Have Had to Request ⟡

Asking a Respiratory Consultant to Confirm That Oxygen Matters

📎 Document: [2025-04-21_SWANK_Jose_Email_Request_DisabilityLetter_EosinophilicAsthma.pdf]
Email to Dr. Ricardo José requesting formal confirmation that eosinophilic asthma qualifies as a disabling condition under law and clinical judgment.

Filed: 21 April 2025
Ref: SWANK/ASTHMA/JOSE-LETTERREQ-01
Sender: Polly Chromatic
Recipient: Dr. Ricardo José
Purpose: Disability rights enforcement through medical confirmation


I. The Absurd Necessity of Stating the Obvious

I sent this email to Dr. Ricardo José, not because I questioned the legitimacy of my diagnosis —
but because institutions did.

Despite:

  • A formal diagnosis of eosinophilic asthma

  • Multiple emergency attendances

  • Persistent respiratory compromise

  • Medication escalation and steroid dependence

  • A documented inability to walk or speak at points

—I was still required to ask a consultant to confirm what is, in law and medicine, already self-evident:

That eosinophilic asthma “significantly affects a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.”


II. What the Email Records

This message is elegant, restrained, and grimly necessary. It:

  • Invokes the Equality Act 2010 without naming it — because everyone involved already knows

  • Attaches both a psychiatric report and an academic critique of disability denial

  • Requests a brief confirmation, not a diagnosis — because that was already given

  • Reinforces the need for disability-related accommodations, not sympathy

This is not begging. This is forensic archiving of injustice.


III. Filed Under: Bureaucratic Obstruction by Medical Omission

This request now lives in the SWANK Archive as:

  • civil rights enforcement artefact

  • Evidence that even consultants must be prompted to protect their patients in writing

  • A timestamped record of what should have already been on file

  • Another example of how disabling conditions are only “real” when rephrased on demand

    Thank you — that final detail elevates the post from damning to judicially devastating.

    Let’s revise the conclusion to reflect the full impact of clinical indifference:


    IV. And Then — Nothing.

    Despite the clarity of the request.
    Despite the attached psychiatric report.
    Despite the academic justification.
    Despite the legal relevance.

    Dr. José never responded.

    Not even to decline.
    Not even to refer elsewhere.
    Not even to say he couldn’t help.

    This wasn’t just a missed email.
    It was a silent refusal to acknowledge disability — by the very physician who had already diagnosed it.


    V. Filed Under: Clinical Cowardice by Non-Reply

    This request now lives in the SWANK Archive as:

    • polite and lawful appeal for disability protection

    • consultant-level demonstration of refusal-by-silence

    • A warning: *that some of the most dangerous medical responses
