“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

⟡ The Doctor Laughed. The Social Worker Watched. And Then They Said It Didn’t Happen. ⟡
When disbelief isn’t clinical — it’s coordinated.

An email submitted to multiple agencies detailing real-time discrimination against a disabled parent by NHS and safeguarding actors — while witnesses remained silent.

I. What Happened

At St Mary’s Hospital, a disabled mother was subjected to verbal disbelief, medical bullying, and complete dismissal of her daughter's documented diagnoses.
Instead of clinical care, she received gaslighting.
Instead of social work support, she received silence.
Kirsty Hornal and Sarah Newman were included in the communication — not one intervened.
This is the mother’s own account, sent the same day. Timestamps do not lie.

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That a medical incident of discrimination and disbelief occurred in a public institution

  • That multiple safeguarding officials were made aware of it in writing

  • That no corrective or safeguarding measures were taken in response

  • That disability rights were treated as optional, not legal

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because documentation is our defence against selective memory.
Because when witnesses ignore, they become participants.
And because no one should be mocked for struggling to breathe — especially not in front of professionals.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Disability Discrimination in a Medical Setting

  • Failure of Duty to Protect by Safeguarding Officials

  • Medical Negligence in Emergency Context

  • Retaliatory Disbelief of Documented Illness

  • Institutional Silence in the Face of Abuse

V. SWANK’s Position

This was not an isolated incident — it was a convergence.
Medical negligence, social worker indifference, and complete institutional alignment.
The mother spoke — in writing, immediately, and with witnesses.
They chose to ignore it.
We chose to publish it.

The Year They Didn’t Answer: And the Email That Stopped Playing Along


⟡ “I’m Not Responding to Emails Since No One Responded to Mine for a Full Year” ⟡
A Documented Silence That Became Policy — and Proof of Why Disabled Withdrawal Is Not Consent

Forwarded email confirming social worker no-show, followed by withdrawal of communication due to institutional silence. Sent to legal, medical, and social services professionals.

I. What Happened

On 13 January 2025, Polly Chromatic re-sent her earlier “no-show” notification — this time attaching a declaration of procedural withdrawal. She stated she would no longer be responding to emails due to a year of being ignored.

This was not sent in isolation. The recipients included:

  • Legal representative Laura Savage

  • Social worker Kirsty Hornal

  • NHS GP Philip Reid

  • Solicitor Simon O’Meara

The message was factual, non-theatrical, and strategically precise: she was not refusing support — she was refusing to perform availability for people who never answered.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Written withdrawal of consent for participation in a non-reciprocal system

  • Disability neglect framed as ongoing (not situational)

  • Cross-agency nonresponse as trauma catalyst

  • Failure to acknowledge distress even after medical escalation

  • State-of-health update deliberately ignored by those charged with monitoring welfare

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because silence from a disabled person is often treated as compliance — especially when it's been provoked by a year of professional indifference.

This email is the textual equivalent of a door closing in slow motion. Not because of defiance, but because of exhaustion.

SWANK logs it as proof that disabled withdrawal is often misrepresented as disengagement, when it is in fact a boundary — one shaped by recordable abandonment.

IV. SWANK’s Position

This was not non-engagement. It was legal trauma management.

We do not accept that silence, when caused by institutional apathy, voids a person’s rights.
We do not accept that failing to respond for twelve months qualifies professionals to claim “unreachable.”
We will document every refusal that began as a plea — and every professional silence that sculpted retreat into recordable harm.

The Risk Was Medical. The Refusal Was Historical.


⟡ We Stayed Home. Because the Last Time, the Hospital Refused to Help. ⟡
“She chose a nebuliser over an emergency room. I didn’t blame her.”

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC-NHS/EMAILS-10
📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailUpdate_WCC-NHS_HonorHomeTreatment_PriorHospitalHarm.pdf
Medical update submitted to Westminster and NHS documenting home treatment for Honor’s respiratory distress following previous hospital-based trauma and institutional refusal to act.

I. What Happened

On the morning of 21 November 2024, the parent emailed both Westminster Children’s Services and GP Dr Philip Reid to confirm:

  • Her daughter Honor was undergoing albuterol nebuliser treatments at home

  • Oxygen levels remained low but within watchable range

  • The parent was monitoring the situation and would escalate to hospital if needed

  • Honor refused to go to A&E — citing trauma from previous visits where she and her mother were dismissed despite medical crisis

The message reiterated that this is exactly what had happened to the parent previously:
six months of untreated respiratory failure while being accused of non-compliance.

So this time, the family stayed home.
And this time, the system still stayed silent.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the child’s oxygen levels were being actively managed with medical oversight

  • That the family had previously experienced institutional dismissal at hospital and feared repeat trauma

  • That the NHS was informed, as was the safeguarding authority

  • That no response, support, or safeguarding review followed

  • That refusal to seek care was a rational response to institutional harm, not neglect

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a child refuses to go to the hospital because she remembers how it felt to be disbelieved,
you don’t have a clinical problem —
you have an institutional injury.

Because when you choose to treat at home not out of defiance but out of trauma,
you are not refusing care —
you are refusing harm.

And when you warn them in writing and they say nothing,
they’re not documenting risk.
They’re demonstrating it.

IV. Violations

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
    Exposure to degrading treatment and interference with bodily autonomy and family protection

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to respect disability-based limits on hospital care and verbal communication

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Inaction following explicit notification of a child in medical distress

  • NHS Safeguarding and Risk Protocols
    Failure to respond to declared medical harm avoidance and home-based mitigation

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a wellness update.
It was an institutional indictment.

We didn’t stay home because it was safe.
We stayed home because they made the alternative worse.

So we wrote it down.
And now — we filed it.
