“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.
