“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

She Had Low Oxygen. I Had Evidence. They Had Attitude.



⟡ She Couldn’t Breathe. They Didn’t Believe Us. ⟡

Formal complaint to NHS and WCC regarding mistreatment at St Mary’s A&E, including refusal to acknowledge Heir’s medical distress and dismissal of parent’s documented history.


I. What Happened

On the evening of 21 November 2024, the parent brought her daughter Heir to St Mary’s Hospital A&E following GP guidance to seek immediate medical attention for dangerously low oxygen levels.

Upon arrival:

  • An intake nurse recorded oxygen at 97% with condescension, after hearing the child’s history

  • Oxygen soon dropped to 95%, triggering agreement to wait

  • The attending A&E doctor dismissed the parent's records and interrupted her repeatedly while she attempted to explain

  • The doctor openly stated: “I don’t believe you”

  • A second doctor, less defensive, eventually agreed to evaluate Honor properly

The parent emailed both Dr Philip Reid and Kirsty Hornal immediately after the encounter — noting the hospital’s ongoing pattern of hostility and medical dismissal toward her and her children.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That a parent followed clinical advice and was met with suspicion, interruption, and disbelief

  • That the child's oxygen was dangerously low earlier that same day, and was treated as inconvenient rather than urgent

  • That medical records were dismissed out of hand, and legitimate concern was treated as defiance

  • That the parent, visibly disabled, was forced to speak over a doctor in order to protect her child

  • That the NHS continues to treat trauma-exposed, disabled mothers as adversaries, not patients


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a doctor says “I don’t believe you” to a mother in A&E, that’s not miscommunication — that’s institutional contempt.

Because when you explain that your child has low oxygen and bring physical records, and the system responds with hostilitydoubt, and delay,
you are no longer seeking treatment. You are documenting negligence.

This wasn’t a misread.
This was routine abuse of clinical power —
and this time, it’s archived.


IV. Violations

  • NHS Code of Conduct – Duty of Care
    Failure to deliver respectful, responsive emergency care

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
    Degrading treatment of disabled parent; interference with health and family life

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Dismissal of verbal disability and medical advocacy

  • GMC Guidelines – Patient-Centred Care
    Ignored documentation; hostile tone; refusal to hear clinical history

  • Children Act 1989
    Failure to treat a child in respiratory distress during an active safeguarding plan


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a triage error.
It was clinical misconduct.

We didn’t bring assumptions.
We brought a record.

They didn’t treat her.
They disbelieved her.

And now they are archived — not because they failed to help,
but because they actively chose not to.

Polly Chromatic Forwards Refusal Notice and Police Report to Blackfords and Merali Beedle After Sending to Westminster and RBKC

Filed: 18 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-07
📎 Download PDF – 2025-02-18_SWANK_EmailChain_Blackfords_RefusalNotice_PoliceReport_Kirsty.pdf
Summary: Email chain confirming legal service of refusal notice and police complaint regarding Kirsty Hornal to solicitors and safeguarding personnel across multiple boroughs.


I. What Happened

On 18 February 2025 at 09:50 AM, Polly Chromatic forwarded the following documents:

– Her Formal Refusal to Cooperate Notice
– A police report against Kirsty Hornal

These were sent to:

  • Simon O'Meara (Blackfords)

  • Laura Savage (Merali Beedle)

  • Sarah Newman (Westminster)

  • Samira Issa, Glen Peache, Rhiannon Hodgson, and others at RBKC

  • NHS contact Philip Reid

  • Additional cc to government accounts

The forwarding email clearly references attachment of both files and provides full service trail.


II. What the Record Establishes

• The refusal notice and police complaint were formally submitted and disseminated
• Kirsty Hornal was under active police complaint before issuing any PLO letter
• Legal counsel (Blackfords, Merali Beedle) was in the loop — ensuring chain of custody
• Safeguarding leads and borough management received documentation
• Timeline confirms retaliation occurred after formal legal notification


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because retaliation isn't just unethical — it's traceable.
Because every email sent before the PLO becomes a defence against its legality.
Because legal counsel receipt makes the silence louder.

SWANK logs the moment legal and safeguarding systems were told — and did nothing.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that PLOs can be issued against police complainants.
We do not accept that silence after notice equals innocence.
We do not accept that the archive has no memory.

This wasn’t just an email. It was a legal marker — and they ignored it.

You Called It Non-Engagement. It Was a Disability Adjustment.



⟡ She Ignored My Disability. Then She Called It Non-Engagement. ⟡
“The adjustment wasn’t optional. The harm wasn’t accidental.”

Filed: 4 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/FORMAL-03
📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-04_SWANK_FormalComplaint_WCC_KirstyHornal_DisabilityNeglect_TraumaExacerbation.pdf
A formal complaint to Westminster Children’s Services detailing social worker Kirsty Hornal’s refusal to honour disability adjustments and the resulting psychological harm.


I. What Happened

On 4 March 2025, a formal complaint was submitted to Westminster Children’s Services against Kirsty Hornal, outlining:

  • Multiple breaches of a written communication adjustment previously agreed due to the parent’s respiratory and psychological disability

  • Repeated demands for phone contact and verbal engagement, despite clinical contraindication

  • Escalation of safeguarding measures when written boundaries were enforced

  • A refusal to process disability as legally binding, instead framing it as “non-compliance” or avoidance

  • The cumulative harm this pattern caused — including panic, re-traumatisation, and medical exacerbation

The complaint was submitted after months of clear pattern behaviour, warning letters, and ignored requests for lawful procedure.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster knowingly violated a reasonable adjustment obligation

  • That social worker Kirsty Hornal continued to escalate contact and frame written-only communication as obstruction

  • That written preferences were ignored even during periods of hospitalisation, oxygen distress, and clinical trauma

  • That the safeguarding process was used as leverage rather than protection

  • That the parent was punished for asserting rights already granted under law


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a public authority agrees you don’t have to speak — and then punishes you for not speaking —
that’s not confusion. That’s entrapment.

Because when a disability protocol becomes a liability in their eyes,
you’re not a parent under review.
You’re a system they want to discredit.

And because when all of this is written — and still ignored —
we don’t follow up.
We file it.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 and 27
    Denial of reasonable adjustments; retaliatory escalation following enforcement

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3, 6 and 8
    Psychological harm, denial of fair process, interference in family and private life

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Abuse of safeguarding frameworks to override disability protections

  • Care Act 2014 – Statutory Duties
    Failure to assess and accommodate complex disability needs

  • UNCRPD – Article 21
    Right to communicate in a manner accessible to the individual


V. SWANK’s Position

We didn’t fail to engage.
You failed to comply.

We weren’t obstructive.
We were medically protected.

This was not safeguarding.
It was institutional retaliation with a paper trail.

Now you’re on ours.

⟡ We’re Sick. You’re Still Coming. And Now It’s a Matter of Record. ⟡
“You think our home is a revolving door. We think this email is admissible.”

Filed: 24 September 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAILS-03
📎 Download PDF – 2024-09-24_SWANK_EmailObjection_WCC_HarassmentDuringIllness_FamilyPrivacyBreach.pdf
Formal written objection to Westminster social workers entering a sick household, breaching medical boundaries and family privacy despite clear requests.


I. What Happened

On 24 September 2024, a disabled parent wrote to Westminster Children’s Services, objecting to an unrelenting pattern of home visits — despite the family being visibly ill, medically compromised, and mid-relocation.

The email requested:

  • Cancellation of the upcoming visit

  • An end to new workers entering the home

  • Respect for the household’s health, safety, and privacy

It followed repeated boundary violations, including:

  • A former social worker re-entering the home after being explicitly barred

  • Exposure of sick children to strangers during active illness

  • Dismissal of the parent’s respiratory and psychiatric conditions

Despite the clarity of the objection, the visits continued — and the disregard was logged.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster proceeded with intrusive visits during active illness and crisis

  • That previous boundary-setting was ignored, including the rejection of specific staff

  • That privacy and safety concerns regarding unknown individuals were dismissed

  • That verbal disability adjustments were not respected despite explicit reminders

  • That a pattern of procedural harassment was unfolding under the guise of routine “concern”


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because asking not to be harassed while sick should not be controversial.
Because objecting to new strangers entering the home should not be ignored.
Because a request to “please don’t come tomorrow, we’re ill” should never be met with continued surveillance.

This isn’t social work.
It’s soft-intrusion under state authority — the appearance of concern masking the persistence of control.

You bring cameras to court.
We bring email headers.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
    Failure to acknowledge respiratory disability and respect written-only communication

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Inappropriate use of statutory powers during health vulnerability

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
    Breach of private and family life, despite direct withdrawal of consent

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR
    Continued presence of unauthorised individuals in the private home of a disabled person and minor children


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a visit.
It was intrusion.

This was not “business as usual.”
It was documented resistance to consent.

We were sick. We said no.
And Westminster said, “We’re coming anyway.”

Now we say:
You were warned. Now you’re recorded.
