✏️ A Public Service Announcement (Disguised as a Lecture)

Somewhere between your safeguarding theatre and the false allegations you mistook for duties, you misplaced your ethical foundations.
Not to worry. I’ve curated a syllabus.

🧭 THE LOST CURRICULUM — AN ETHICAL SKELETON KEY

1. Honesty & Transparency
– State your actions plainly. Conceal nothing you’d penalise in others.
→ Impact: Public trust. Currently absent.

2. Fairness & Justice
– No vendettas. No tokenism. No procedural show trials.
→ Impact: Legitimacy, if you remember what that feels like.

3. Respect for Persons
– Interrupting disabled parents mid-breath? Not noble.
→ Impact: Credibility, faintly possible.

4. Accountability
– Stand behind your own paperwork. No ghostwriters in lanyards.
→ Impact: Consequence, at last.

5. Altruism
– Helping someone while punishing their tone? That’s not altruism. That’s performance.
→ Impact: Actual support.

6. Confidentiality
– Private data is not a whisper network.
→ Impact: One less FOI on your desk.

7. Courage
– Write the truth, even if it contradicts your strategy.
→ Impact: Heroism, albeit unfamiliar.

8. Humility
– Try: “We were wrong.” It won’t kill you.
→ Impact: Professional rebirth.

9. Environmental Responsibility
– Stop triggering asthma in medically fragile homes.
→ Impact: Breathable air. Imagine.

10. Professional Integrity
– No falsified notes. No weaponised minutes. No polished lies.
→ Impact: Legal documents that don’t read like satire.

✨ Ten Patterns of Ethical Behaviour for the Value-Deficient Professional

You claimed to need training.
I obliged.
Here lies the unsolicited induction course from your most persistent accountability specialist.

1. Honesty & Transparency
Admit fault. Name truth. Disclose what matters.
🕳 If you’re redacting to self-protect, you’ve already disqualified yourself from service.

2. Fairness & Justice
Equal treatment ≠ equal failure.
📉 Cease targeting whistleblowers while coddling incompetence.

3. Respect for Others
Particularly the disabled. Especially the unafraid.
🎧 Try silence. It’s less oppressive than your standard interruptions.

4. Accountability
Forwarding isn't accountability. Nor is “noted.”
🧾 If you can't carry the consequences, don't issue the decisions.

5. Altruism
Policy compliance is not compassion.
💸 Being paid to care is not the same as caring.

6. Confidentiality
Stop broadcasting family names in mixed-email chains.
🔒 You’re not in reception gossip. You’re in statutory breach.

7. Courage
Draft the real minutes. Submit the real report.
🎙 Integrity is not conditional on office consensus.

8. Humility
Learning is not beneath you. Though perhaps ethics are.
🥀 If you've never said sorry, you're overdue.

9. Environmental Responsibility
Respiratory harm counts too.
🌫 If your visit induces breathlessness, you are not delivering support—you are delivering trauma.

10. Professional Integrity
Post-complaint edits are not policy—they're pathology.
📚 Start showing up like you're human, not rehearsed.

TEN YEARS OF HARASSMENT IS NOT “HELP.” IT’S A MEDICAL CONDITION.

🩻 Ten Years of This, and You’re Still Calling It “Safeguarding”?

“It’s been ten years of this non-stop… many social workers who all have no reason to be bothering us for years on end…”

What you refer to as “protocol,” my lungs experience as injury.
This is not intervention—it is industrialised harassment with a laminated badge.

🗣 You Broke My Voice. You Diagnosed Me After.

“I have acquired PTSD and MUSCLE DYSPHONIA in addition to my already existing EOSINOPHILIC ASTHMA…”

The condition is cumulative.
The proof is biopsychological.
The damage is systemic—and the perpetrator is procedural.

🤡 Who Accuses a White Mother of Mixed Children of Racism?

“It’s also very suspicious to me that anyone would accuse me of child abuse and/or racism.”

No, it’s not just offensive.
It’s a tactic.
And it’s exactly what institutional racism looks like when disguised as safeguarding.

🏛 I No Longer Recognise the Crown as a Serious Entity.

“I’m not able to take the UK government seriously anymore…”

When the institutions begin to parody themselves, the refusal to comply is not rebellion—it’s discernment.

I’d Love to Talk—If It Didn’t Mean Surveillance, Misinterpretation, and Collapse.

WHEN SILENCE IS SAFETY: PANIC, ABANDONMENT, AND THE PRICE OF TELLING THE TRUTH

📩 Your “Concern” Has Consequences

“If I do talk to anyone about any of this, they call social workers on me or abandon me completely—or both.”

This is not disclosure. This is entrapment.
You’ve institutionalised the fear of honesty.
You’ve turned expression into risk management.
What you call support, I now interpret as threat.

🧠 Panic Isn’t Just a Feeling. It’s a Systemic Outcome.

“The panic attacks happen because I start feeling so alone, misunderstood, and attacked... it causes panic about my health.”

The root of panic is not irrationality.
It is institutional abandonment in a loop.
Your culture of misinterpretation creates the very symptoms you then pathologise.

Every “concerned” response is another unrequested escalation.

🗣 I Like Talking. I Just Can’t Survive It.

“I enjoy talking :/ … but emails and texts make me feel panicked now…”

Imagine liking to sing—
And choking on every lyric because the room is full of people who hate your voice.
That’s what you've built: a climate where communication is lethal.
I don’t avoid people. I avoid collapse.

CHILDHOOD INTERRUPTED: A TEN-YEAR LESSON IN HOW TO UNLEARN TRUST

📘 THIS ISN’T A CASE. THIS IS A CLASSROOM.

“It’s been very disruptive to homeschooling to have social workers disrupting our day for ten years for no reason…”

This is not child protection.
This is pedagogical vandalism.
You have not observed—you have interfered.
Ten years of unsanctioned intrusion is not diligence. It is dysfunction, draped in lanyards.

⏱ MISSED APPOINTMENTS. MISSED CHILDHOOD.

“…and all the no shows are irritating to us all.”

You no-show.
You reschedule.
You forget.
And yet you call it professionalism.

A child learns something from every encounter.
Yours have taught mine that time doesn’t matter, and promises are ornamental.

📎 STILL NOT VERBAL. STILL NOT YOUR PROBLEM?

“Please Note: I cannot speak verbally. Please email only. I do not own a phone.”

This is not an aesthetic preference.
It is a medical mandate.
Failure to comply is not inconvenience—it’s discrimination.

You cannot assess when you refuse to listen.
You cannot safeguard when your presence endangers the lesson plan.
