An annotated list of hostile behaviors sent to Kirsty Hornal to document the relationship between social work aggression and medically triggered harm

I. What Happened

On 13 January 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a formal written message to Westminster Children’s Services, specifically addressing social worker Kirsty Hornal, to assert boundaries regarding hostile behavior.

Rather than engage in defensive back-and-forth, Polly submitted a taxonomical breakdown of hostility — listing 16 distinct behavioral categories ranging from verbal aggression and dismissiveness to sabotage, sarcasm, and refusal to communicate. Each was cross-referenced with its psychological impact, showing how such behaviors exacerbate asthma, muscle tension dysphonia, and PTSD symptoms.

It wasn’t just an objection. It was a diagnostic framework — presented in pure composure, and mailed to the institution that caused it.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Continued verbal or tonal hostility despite disability-based written-only communication requests
Human impact: Breathing difficulty, vocal injury, panic symptoms, and post-traumatic activation
Power dynamics: The person with no voice is framed as aggressive — while the aggressors remain unnamed
Institutional failure: Refusal to understand trauma as physiological; refusal to recognise tone as violence
Unacceptable conduct: Penalising someone for resisting verbal engagement when verbal engagement is itself the harm

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because asserting medical boundaries isn’t rudeness.
Because writing down the names of hostile behaviors doesn’t make you difficult — it makes you a record-keeper.
Because when institutions pretend they don’t know why someone can’t breathe, the archive will remind them:
You knew.
You were told.
You were catalogued.

This wasn’t a complaint. It was a classification.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – failure to implement reasonable adjustments, including verbal-exempt access
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3 & 8 – degrading treatment; psychological and physiological violation of bodily autonomy
Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.3, 5.1 – failure to do no harm; failure to prevent distress
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Section 2 – emotional and respiratory health risks ignored by professionals

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that kindness must be earned through calmness when calmness is physically impossible.
We do not accept that “communication” means submission.
We do not accept that institutions can cause injury with a tone and then claim innocence with a shrug.

This wasn’t about hostility.
This was about health.
And it is now documented — with clinical precision.

Email documenting hospital bullying, asthma-related discrimination, and intent to sue for institutional neglect

Email to WCC officials and legal counsel outlining abuse in A&E settings and declaring intent to pursue legal action over repeated neglect

I. What Happened

On 24 November 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed Westminster social work leadership and her legal team in response to continued hospital bullying and misrepresentation during respiratory crises.

She highlighted that across multiple hospitals — including St Thomas’ and St Mary’s — staff blamed her for the conduct of others, dismissed her communication limitations, and categorised her as "erratic" despite clear evidence that she could not physically speak due to disability.

The message made one thing clear: the problem was not miscommunication — it was systemic contempt for asthma patients, particularly disabled mothers and their children.

Polly concluded her message with a legal warning: “I’m going to sue them. It’s child neglect.”

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Repeated denial of asthma treatment; misclassification of disability responses as behaviour
Human impact: Exacerbated respiratory symptoms, trauma to children, destabilised medical routines
Power dynamics: Disabled woman framed as “aggressive” or “erratic” for asserting need for basic medical care
Institutional failure: Failure to de-escalate, accommodate, or interpret documented respiratory limitations
Unacceptable conduct: Hospitals weaponising disbelief and making the patient responsible for clinical dysfunction

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because “I can’t argue” is not hostility — it’s breath preservation.
Because accusing a non-verbal disabled mother of aggression is not just inaccurate — it’s abusive.
Because A&E services that confuse composure with defiance are not safe for anyone with chronic illness.
Because every time a mother with asthma has to email the hospital to correct their version of her silence, something is structurally wrong.

This wasn’t a breakdown in communication.
It was a refusal to recognise silence as legitimate.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, Sections 15 & 20 – discrimination arising from disability; failure to accommodate communication limitations
Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to safeguard children's health during acute respiratory episodes
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 3 & 8 – degrading treatment; interference with family life and medical privacy
NHS Constitution, Right to Respect – right to be heard, believed, and treated without humiliation

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that medical disbelief is a diagnosis.
We do not accept that respiratory illness is treated as inconvenience.
We do not accept that child neglect can be redirected toward the mother when it originates from the institution.

This wasn’t mislabelled. It was misused.
And now, it is part of the archive — and the case law.

When the School Becomes the Threat: Safeguarding as Retaliation for Disability

⟡ “From Schoolyard to Statutory Harm: Drayton Park Escalates Disability into Risk” ⟡
A safeguarding referral made not to protect a child — but to silence a mother. The playground becomes a platform for institutional cruelty.

Filed: 22 April 2025

Formal complaint emailed to local authorities and education officials, detailing safeguarding misconduct and disability discrimination by Drayton Park Primary School (Islington LA) and associated professionals.

I. What Happened

On 22 April 2025, the claimant filed a written safeguarding complaint after Drayton Park Primary School, under the remit of Islington Local Authority, engaged in discriminatory practices that exacerbated medical harm and misused safeguarding frameworks in retaliation for lawful disability requests.

Despite clinical documentation confirming that both the parent and child suffer from severe eosinophilic asthma and other respiratory disabilities, school staff failed to accommodate their needs, dismissed medical communication, and initiated harmful safeguarding referrals rather than provide support. This email was cc’d to multiple council, legal, and medical contacts — forming a critical cross-borough evidentiary trail of systemic ableism disguised as care.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Unlawful safeguarding escalation by school authorities in response to disability adjustments
Failure to accommodate written-only communication and clinical limitations
Misuse of child protection processes to suppress a parent’s lawful advocacy
Disregard for medical documentation and the treating physician’s oversight
Cross-agency procedural misconduct involving Islington and Westminster councils

III. Why SWANK Filed It

When a school weaponises safeguarding instead of implementing a care plan, that school becomes a risk in itself. This email was archived to document a broader institutional playbook: when disabled parents demand rights, the response is not compliance — it is retaliation.

SWANK filed this document to:

Establish the evidentiary chain connecting school-level negligence to local authority overreach
Show how disability becomes pathologised through safeguarding systems
Provide a record of written, timely, good-faith complaints that were ignored or punished

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 15 (discrimination arising from disability), Section 20 (failure to make reasonable adjustments)
Children Act 1989 – Abuse of safeguarding to target families with protected characteristics
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (right to private and family life)
SEND Code of Practice – Breach of statutory duties for supporting pupils with health conditions
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) – Article 23 (children with disabilities), Article 3 (best interests of the child)

V. SWANK’s Position

What took place at Drayton Park is not “miscommunication.” It is a deliberate institutional act: dismissing medical warnings, ignoring clinical guidelines, and punishing disability visibility with safeguarding escalation. This case illustrates how school-based safeguarding channels have become a covert enforcement arm — targeting families who do not comply with ableist norms.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

Immediate investigation by Islington’s SEN and safeguarding oversight teams
Public disclosure of school safeguarding protocols and escalation criteria
Apology and corrective action to prevent further institutional harm

Email sent to WCC and RBKC officials documenting repeated NHS failures to treat respiratory emergencies, with warnings of further escalation

I. What Happened

On 23 November 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal, Director Sarah Newman, RBKC staff, legal representatives, and medical consultant Dr. Philip Reid, documenting a pattern of life-threatening neglect in London’s NHS A&E services.

In the message, Polly described how her children, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir, were repeatedly denied adequate asthma care, improperly assessed, and sent home untreated — despite clear symptoms of respiratory distress. Medical staff reportedly became defensive when questioned, failed to use basic diagnostic tools properly (e.g. misplacement of thermometers), and treated the family as suspect rather than unwell.

Rather than escalate within hospital premises, Polly administered prescribed medication at home, logged everything, and sent this dispatch to social services to pre-empt further safeguarding misuse.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: A&E refusal to follow asthma care protocols; improper temperature readings; failure to listen to lungs properly
Human impact: Delayed recovery, risk of respiratory crisis, psychological trauma from medical hostility
Power dynamics: Disabled mother blamed for child neglect while professionals ignore medical duties
Institutional failure: Ongoing NHS resistance to treating visibly ill patients; deflection of risk onto parent
Unacceptable conduct: Reversal of blame; framing respiratory protection as maternal misconduct

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the hospital staff weren’t just underperforming — they were actively hostile.
Because this wasn’t one bad night — it was a culture of antagonism toward visibly disabled families.
Because when a parent calmly administers prednisone at home to avoid another violent encounter with A&E, the institution has already failed.
Because Polly Chromatic should never have had to write this email.
And now that she did — we’re archiving it.

This document makes it clear: if Westminster continues to cite NHS authority as credible in its safeguarding frameworks, SWANK will cite this record — and demand structural accountability.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to meet the health needs of children with chronic illness
NHS Constitution, Patient Rights – right to safe, respectful, and effective care
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 3 & 8 – degrading treatment; interference with family and private life
Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – failure to provide accessible, disability-informed care in emergency settings
Common Law Duty of Care – breach by NHS A&E personnel in paediatric asthma cases

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that A&E is a battleground.
We do not accept that families should leave sicker than they arrived.
We do not accept that safeguarding frameworks can ignore NHS negligence while punishing disabled parents for intervening.

This wasn’t parental hostility.
This was medical abandonment.
And SWANK will document it — line by line, symptom by symptom, protocol by protocol.

⟡ “Sympathy Without Action Is Neglect With a Smile.” ⟡
Formal complaint to the Ombudsman documenting passive abuse by Kirsty Hornal through inaction, delay, and selective compassion

Ombudsman complaint citing systemic inaction and disability harm enabled by Kirsty Hornal’s failure to intervene despite awareness

I. What Happened

On 5 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman, targeting the passive neglect of Kirsty Hornal, a social worker within Westminster Children’s Services.

Though Hornal communicated with superficial empathy, she failed to implement any substantive protection or enforce legally mandated disability accommodations. She acknowledged harm, promised follow-ups, referenced NHS colleagues — and did nothing.

This inaction took place while Polly and her children were recovering from sewer gas poisoning, battling immunocompromising conditions, and attempting to homeschool under harassment.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Refusal to enforce adjustments despite confirmed diagnosis and stated risk
Human impact: Panic attacks, respiratory deterioration, educational disruption, retraumatisation
Power dynamics: Institutional neglect hidden behind polite tone and performative concern
Institutional failure: Staff permitted to acknowledge harm without duty to stop it
Unacceptable conduct: Tolerating medical harm under the illusion of professionalism

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because kind emails mean nothing if the harm continues.
Because silence in policy clothing is still silence.
Because Kirsty Hornal did not need to escalate to be abusive — she only had to do nothing while harm accrued.
Because this is what systemic discrimination often looks like: not malice, but inertia.
Not denial, but neglect.
Not shouting — just letting it happen.

This was the formal act of naming what the institution packaged as “support”: chronic inaction, dressed as care.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to make or enforce reasonable adjustments
Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to protect welfare through inaction
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – indirect violation of family life through unremedied harm
Ombudsman Standards, Duty of Service – failure to act on repeated, substantiated risk notifications
Social Work England Standards, 3.1, 5.1 – neglect of health needs, avoidable harm through omission

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept inaction as neutrality.
We do not accept performative kindness as compliance.
We do not accept that professionals may admit to harm — and still allow it.

This wasn’t miscommunication.
This was professional indifference.

This wasn’t benign neglect.
It was structured, delayed, and systemically enabled — and now, permanently documented.
