Wed 3rd August, 2022 Wanda Reynolds sent her final email to me, acknowledging my many questions. I never heard from her again after this, at least not directly.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for this, I will try and have a read tomorrow. As you can imagine I have come back to a lot of emails so I haven't got through everything yet so helpful to have it at the top of my inbox.
Kind Regards

Wanda Reynolds was a CAMHS General Manager but I hadn’t been so easy to manage. I imagined, at the time, that she was inconvenienced by my persistence, perhaps taken aback by my tenacity, my unwavering resolve to uncover the truth. She wasn’t aware that I was possibly on the autistic spectrum and hadn’t accounted for my autism justice sensitivity. Autistic Justice Sensitivity ‘refers to a heightened sense of fairness, equity, and inclusion, coupled with a strong need to address and correct injustices. In essence, it means being extremely attuned to when something is not fair or right.’ - https://www.simplypsychology.org/autism-justice-sensitivity.html. I had smelled a rat as far back as January and February of 2022 and now I knew there was a whole barrel of them. A more charitable perspective would suggest that Wanda Reynolds had been disingenuous throughout all of her correspondence with me. I would go further and categorically accuse Wanda Reynolds of blatant dishonesty, of having lied.
There are many types of lies typically used by people who want to deceive others and Wanda Reynolds was guilty of indulging in more than a few of these types. She was predominantly guilty of lying by omission. When we want to hide the truth about something we can resort to lying by omission which means that we are not necessarily expressing false information but deliberately failing to say something we know to be true. Wanda Reynolds had deliberately hidden the facts in order to craft a narrative. She originally reported to me by way of letter, emailed to me on the 23rd March 2022,

Dear Mr Stock,
Thank you for your emails and letters, as I mentioned in the email yesterday these have been sent to me as your daughters' case have now been closed to the service.
I can see from your letters and emails that you had an in-depth therapeutic relationship with Sally Mungall - Art Therapist at Basingstoke CAMHS. This was to support you in the parenting of your daughter who was also receiving psychotherapy from Mark Birbeck Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. My understanding from reading the notes and discussion was that the work ended with yourself in 16.12.21 and there was a final meeting between Mark, Meg, yourself and Sally on 13.1.22. I appreciate that in your final session you discussed the return of your art work and you agreed with Sally that you would make contact when you felt ready. Unfortunately, whilst this was agreed with Sally we are unable to facilitate a further appointment to hand the art work over as Meg is now closed to our service. We know that endings and transitions can be difficult and do recognise the importance of the work that you did with Sally and would be keen for you to have your art back If you wish. We can organise for it to be delivered to your home or you could come into the clinic at a pre-arranged time and the Team Manager would be able to give this to you.
I can see in your letter and emails that you developed a strong level of trust and attachment to Sally and I can read that you are distressed that the promise of a further appointment has not happened. Unfortunately, this should not have been offered and we are unable to facilitate this. I have spoken with Sally and she is now aware that this cannot be facilitated. I would like to recommend some services that can support you at this difficult time.
Your GP will be able to offer you support.
111 offer MH support to both adults and young people and have Mental Health Nurses within the service.
I understand that you have been referred to the Adult Mental Health Team and I understand that you can contact them on 01256 316300 should you feel that this would be helpful.
Kind Regards
Wanda Reynolds
General Manager’
This is but one example out of many disingenuous, deceptive and manipulative tactics used by Wanda Reynolds that ultimately found their way into my medical records. I eventually raised a ‘fitness to practice’ complaint against Wanda Reynolds with her regulatory body, Social Work England citing all such examples and will publish those findings here in due course.
Wanda Reynolds deliberately withheld the truth then and continued to withold the truth from me and from colleagues in other mental health services in and around the Basingstoke area. She allowed, even facillitated, gross misrepresentation of me. Her lies about me continued long after the 3rd of August, 2022. She represented a political situation in such a way as to protect her clinical colleagues while disadvantaging and hurting me. I now recognise this for what it was. In plain speak, Wanda Reynolds adopted the role of a SPIN DOCTOR.
In public relations, spin is a form of propaganda, achieved through knowingly circulating a biased interpretation of an event. By purposely spreading such prejudiced interpretations Wanda Reynolds effectively becomes a spin doctor, positively framing individual clinicians while negatively framing me. It is my belief that she purposely sought to preserve the reputational integrity of staff and the wider Trust while hiding the very real conspiracy designed to misrepresent me as a liability, risk and eventual monster.
Wanda Reynolds was at the heart of that conspiracy.
