“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.

The Refusal to Read Is Institutional

A Multi-Agency Notification of Disability That Was Met With Silence — and Then Retaliation

Multi-recipient disability disclosure covering panic disorder, eosinophilic asthma, and muscle dysphonia, sent as written-only adjustment notice and medical accommodation request.


I. What Happened

On 10 January 2025, Polly Chromatic (then using her legal name) sent multiple formal notifications of disability to representatives at RBKC and Westminster Children’s Services, including Glen Peache, Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and others.

These notices were sent via email, citing documented medical conditions — eosinophilic asthmamuscle dysphonia, and panic disorder — alongside clear communication adjustment requests. The messages explicitly stated that verbal contact was not possible and that email-only interactions were essential for health and safety.

Despite being copied to solicitors, school contacts, and a GP, no adjustment was made, and the retaliation escalated.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • πŸ“› Procedural Breach: Multiple agencies failed to respond to disability notifications as formal medical adjustments under the Equality Act 2010.

  • πŸ’₯ Human Impact: Ongoing panic attacks, vocal strain, and exacerbation of chronic respiratory illness due to forced verbal interaction and procedural hostility.

  • πŸ”‡ Power Dynamics: The refusal to accommodate written-only communication undermined legal capacity, dignity, and access.

  • πŸ› Institutional Failure: The messages were treated as ignorable personal disclosures, not statutory triggers for safeguarding the sender’s rights.

  • ❌ Unacceptable: Treating medical information from a vulnerable parent as optional reading — and then escalating safeguarding procedures based on their distress.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This is the moment every subsequent abuse of process became premeditated.

The agencies involved had full, detailed, medically grounded knowledge of Polly Chromatic’s conditions — and chose to ignore it. This email thread is the prima facie evidence of system-wide dereliction: a refusal to understand, adapt, or comply.

It also demonstrates how “reasonable adjustment” is treated as a courtesy, not a legal requirement.
SWANK logs it because it is proof that everything that followed — including court manipulation, voice strain, and retaliatory safeguarding — was done in writing, after being warned.


IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a failure to notice.
It was a decision to dehumanise through silence.

⟡ We do not accept that a parent’s health notice should be read as an inconvenience.
⟡ We do not accept that trauma is “too long to read.”
⟡ We will document every unread email that preceded your unlawful escalation.

When Care Became Coordination — and the Patient Wasn't Invited

I. One Hour in Harley Street, Then the Floor Fell Out

Before I found Dr Rafiq, I sat — barely breathing — in the polished stillness of a Harley Street office, speaking to Dr Liz White.

I explained the trauma.
The pattern of harassment.
The physical toll of stress-induced asthma.
And the panic that came every time a letter or knock signaled another institutional ambush.

She listened.
She nodded.
She looked sympathetic.

Then she called Edward Kendall, my social worker — without my consent, without warning, without delay.

And he told her something I had never been told:
That the reason for social services involvement was “domestic violence.”

It wasn’t written in any referral.
No one had informed me.
She found out before I did.

Then — having acquired a narrative from the state, not the patient — Dr White ended the relationship.

She refused to treat me.
No follow-up. No continuity. Just a link to anxiety worksheets and a distant suggestion that someone else might help.


II. What the Document Proves

  • That I sought support in good faith

  • That my oxygen levels had fallen to 44%, yet the hospital claimed “intoxication”

  • That my children (then 12 and 14) were falsely described as “left alone”

  • That my ex-partner lives thousands of miles away — yet I alone was targeted

  • That Dr White responded not with care, but with escalation and exit

And after all this?

I didn’t just feel dismissed.

I experienced severe panic attacks — episodes so intense they left me debilitated for days.
The betrayal was not abstract. It was physiological.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because psychological betrayal wears credentials.
Because therapeutic abandonment isn’t always brutal — sometimes, it’s clinically polite.
Because what looks like neutrality can be devastatingly aligned.

We filed this because:

  • Seeking help should not lead to state surveillance

  • Panic should not be rewarded with procedural ghosting

  • And psychologists should not quietly reinforce the system the patient came to escape

Let the record show:

She did not mishear.
She did not misunderstand.
She simply made a call — and walked away.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept consultants who outsource discomfort to social services.
We do not accept “support” that dissolves upon contact with real institutional critique.
We do not accept silence as an appropriate clinical conclusion to distress.

Let the record show:

The panic was real.
The abandonment was professional.
And SWANK — is what remains when the clinician leaves.

This wasn’t care.
It was clinical cowardice in a cashmere wrap —
and we are thankful to Dr White,
not for the help, but for the honesty of her exit.
