Formal Complaint – Sewer Gas Exposure, Respiratory Harm, and Institutional Failure to Protect a Medically Vulnerable Family

🩺 Public Health in Collapse: A Complaint

Dear Public Health Director,

This correspondence is submitted to report a sustained public health hazard and institutional negligence which, since 2023, has endangered the respiratory and psychological safety of myself and my four children — each medically documented as vulnerable.

I write not in desperation, but in precise remembrance.

I am a disabled mother, diagnosed with:

Eosinophilic asthma
Muscle tension dysphonia
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — acquired through prolonged institutional contact

All four of my children have clinically recognised asthma. Despite these clear, codeable vulnerabilities, we have been exposed — repeatedly, preventably — to the following:

⚠️ Documented Environmental Hazards

Persistent sewer gas leaks at Flat E, 37 Elgin Crescent, London W11 – acknowledged but unremedied by landlord and council
Confirmed mould, airborne contaminants, and water-damage-induced reinfection – triggering respiratory crises, collapse, and loss of consciousness
Unprotected home visits by social workers while the household was medically unwell – resulting in cross-infection and symptom escalation
Denial of written communication adjustments, worsening conditions by enforcing unsafe verbal contact against medical advice

🧾 Public Health Failures Identified

Environmental Neglect
Despite environmental reports and formal awareness, the housing authority permitted the continued occupation of an uninhabitable property by asthmatic children.
Medical Disregard
NHS and GP services failed to document or respond to severe respiratory events — including wheezing, collapse, and airway distress.
Safeguarding Theatre
Safeguarding was weaponised to deflect from environmental accountability. No infection control or protective accommodations were offered.
Medical Suppression
Social services discouraged hospital attendance and retaliated when environmental hazards were raised through legal channels.

⚖️ Jurisdictional Scope of the UKHSA

This case exemplifies systemic breach in public health protection under the following domains:

Indoor air quality oversight
Cross-infection policy during state visitation
Triage protocols for disabled and respiratory-compromised households
Environmental safeguarding blind spots in local authority frameworks

The ongoing refusal to treat environmental illness as a legitimate clinical and safeguarding concern constitutes not only negligence — but policy-level endangerment.

🎯 Relief Sought

I request the UKHSA:

To investigate the conduct of relevant local authorities and NHS bodies in relation to respiratory hazard management
To issue national guidance on sewer gas and air-quality-related asthma in children
To review infection control protocols for state personnel entering medically vulnerable homes
To classify environmental safeguarding negligence as a matter of public health urgency

Met Police Violate Disability Rights in Retraumatising Home Visit – 3 June 2025

✉️ Dispatch No. 2025-06-03-MET-DISABILITY-BREACH

Filed Under: Police Disregard, Disability Misconduct, Doorstep Theatre

To:
Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)
📧 enquiries@policeconduct.gov.uk

Subject:
Formal Complaint – Metropolitan Police Violation of Disability Adjustments (3 June 2025)

Date: 3 June 2025

Dear IOPC Complaints Team,

Consider this a formal submission to the archive of modern British institutional failure. I refer to the unjustifiable attendance of Metropolitan Police officers at my private residence on the morning of 3 June 2025—an incident so flagrant in its disregard for disability law that one wonders whether training has been entirely replaced by improvisational theatre.

The facts, which I presume will not be contested:

A clearly visible sign affixed to my door specifying no contact except in writing
A documented and longstanding communication adjustment, known to multiple agencies
Diagnosed conditions including:
- Eosinophilic Asthma
- Muscle tension dysphonia
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — the latter acquired not through random misfortune, but through sustained institutional harassment

Despite these safeguards, officers arrived uninvited, unannounced, and wholly uninformed. This intrusion followed closely on the heels of a threatening email from a local safeguarding officer — an email which had already triggered a psychological spiral requiring days of recovery. The police arrival escalated the harm into the physical realm: my hands went numb, my breathing constricted, and I was once again re-traumatised by the very systems meant to offer protection.

⚖️ Legal Grounds for IOPC Scrutiny

I am formally requesting the IOPC to log and investigate this incident on the following legal foundations:

Breach of the Equality Act 2010 – failure to honour a pre-established disability adjustment
Violation of Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 – unwarranted intrusion into private life
Institutional negligence in the handling of known clinical vulnerabilities
Re-traumatisation through coercive and unauthorised contact

For the avoidance of doubt: this was not a welfare check. It was a procedural violation, cloaked in bureaucratic indifference, carried out by uniformed agents of state harm.

The original letter to the Metropolitan Police’s Professional Standards Department is enclosed for your reference. Kindly confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a formal case reference. One must presume that even in the realm of police oversight, paperwork still counts for something.

Yours, with documented dismay,

Polly Chromatic

🛑 Formal Complaint – Discriminatory Home Visit in Breach of Disability Adjustments

🗓 Date: 3 June 2025

🖋 Dear Sir or Madam,

I write in velvet-clad fury to report a matter of no small concern: the unlawful and traumatising attendance of Metropolitan Police officers at my home on 3 June 2025, in direct response to a safeguarding report I myself had filed — concerning Ms. Kirsty Hornal of Westminster City Council.

Instead of safeguarding my family, your officers joined the breach.

⚠ 1. Breach of Disability Adjustment

I live with multiple disabling conditions, including:

Eosinophilic Asthma
Muscle Tension Dysphonia
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, induced by prolonged institutional harm

As a direct result, I require — and have repeatedly documented — a written-only communication adjustment.

This requirement was:

✔ Included in my safeguarding report
✔ Publicly displayed on my front door, which reads:

Disability Adjustment: Written Communication Only – Do Not Knock

Yet officers arrived without notice, triggering:

Numbness in my hands
Tightness in my chest
A full PTSD episode
Disruption of my children’s lawful, thriving home education

What should have been protection became re-traumatisation at the hands of the state.

⚖ 2. Violation of Legal Protections

Your conduct constitutes a breach of:

🧾 Equality Act 2010

Section 20 – Failure to make reasonable adjustments
Section 21 – Discrimination arising from disability

📜 Human Rights Act 1998

Article 8 – Right to respect for private and family life

The visit did not just fail to protect my rights — it compounded the trauma which gave rise to my original report.

✨ 3. Remedies Requested

I request, without performance but with precision:

A written apology acknowledging the breach
A guarantee that no further in-person police visits will occur without written consent
Review and reform of internal systems to ensure disability adjustments are attached to reports and respected
Formal referral of this complaint to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)

For avoidance of doubt, this incident will be included as evidence in active County Court proceedings under an N1 claim for disability discrimination and safeguarding retaliation.

Please confirm receipt and provide a case reference.

Respectfully, yet not passively,

When Safeguarding Becomes Strategy: A Shadow Report on Disabled Motherhood Under Siege in the UK

👑 SHADOW REPORT SUBMISSION

Filed with Reluctant Majesty to the United Nations Special Rapporteurs
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
and on Violence Against Women and Girls

Submitted by:
Miss Polly Chromatic
Flat 22, 2 Periwinkle Gardens, London W2
📧 complaints@swankarchive.com
🌐 www.swankarchive.com
🗓 June 2025
📂 Submission Type: Public
⚖ Legal Status: Direct witness, targeted mother, and involuntary expert in bureaucratic brutality

🎓 Statement of Purpose

This Shadow Report is submitted not merely in protest, but in documentation of a truth so banal in its cruelty it could only be authored by modern governance.

It addresses the United Kingdom’s systematic breach of its obligations under:

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

This is not a plea. It is a transcribed refusal to be erased, silenced, or procedurally harassed under the guise of “support.”

🖋 Executive Summary

I am a disabled woman and mother of four disabled children, all thriving despite the full, clumsy weight of British institutions attempting otherwise.

I was denied care, then punished for complaining.
I asked for written communication; I was given false referrals.
I submitted legal filings; I received safeguarding visits.
I parented lawfully; they called it suspicious.
I educated successfully; they called it isolating.

This submission is not a tale of neglect — it is a museum of precision, chronicling exactly how state systems convert disability and motherhood into targets of suspicion.

📉 Key Violations

1. Refusal of Reasonable Adjustments
Written-only communication, clinically mandated, legally protected — systematically denied. Bureaucrats prefer a voice they can interrupt.

2. Retaliatory Safeguarding Interference
Every formal complaint filed was met with escalated intrusion. In Britain, it seems, dissent is a safeguarding risk.

3. Medical Negligence by Design
Asthma erased. Records rewritten. Health needs editorialised to suit the social narrative.

4. Intersectional Stereotyping
A disabled white woman with Black children? Suspicion was preloaded. Gender and race weaponised via bureaucracy.

5. Silencing by Process
I was not just denied services. I was denied the right to document. Denied the right to refuse. Denied the right to speak on my terms.

When Safeguarding Becomes Surveillance: A Home Educator’s Dispatch from the Frontlines of Procedural Retaliation

🏛 Subject:

A Formal Complaint to Ofsted

On the Misuse of Safeguarding to Punish Lawful, Disabled Home Educators

Dear Ofsted,

Permit me to raise what I wish I could call an anomaly, but which appears instead to be an institutional reflex: the abuse of safeguarding frameworks to discipline disabled, law-abiding home educators for daring to conduct their affairs on their own terms.

I am the mother of four children. They are well. They are educated. They are thriving in a home education environment supported by documentation, structure, and what can only be called excellence. And yet — in 2024 and 2025 — I found myself repeatedly surveilled, summoned, and scandalised under the false banner of child protection, for no reason other than my refusal to attend verbal meetings that contravene my medical care plan.

🩺 The “Risk” They Couldn’t Find

Social workers from Westminster and RBKC escalated to CIN and CPP status, not because of risk to children — but because of risk to their authority. Specifically:

I invoked a written-only communication adjustment, clinically mandated and legally protected under the Equality Act 2010.
I declined to perform emotional compliance in person.
I refused the theatre. And for that, the curtain fell — on reason, law, and proportionality.

📚 Misuse in Costume:

Repeated safeguarding referrals despite zero evidence of neglect
Intrusive visits with no pedagogical basis
Harmful interference in learning schedules
Psychological distress induced in my children for the crime of being parented by a disabled adult who keeps immaculate notes

This is not protection. It is harassment in policy drag.

⚖️ What I Ask Of You

That Ofsted formally acknowledge the following:

That safeguarding powers have been misapplied as punitive tools
That disabled home educators face discriminatory escalation for lawful boundary-setting
That local authorities be instructed and regulated accordingly, before the idea of home education is entirely colonised by suspicion

Let this dispatch serve as both a complaint and a chronicle — of what happens when policy is used not as a shield, but as a stick.

Yours in embroidered defiance,
