“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

Chromatic v. Westminster City Council – Misrepresentation, Retaliation, and the Misuse of Professional Authority in Child Welfare



SWANK LONDON LTD – EVIDENTIARY CATALOGUE ENTRY
Filed: 10 August 2025
Ref: WCC/RBKC/RETALIATION/2025-08-10
Filename: 2025-08-10_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_FalseStatementsRetaliation.pdf
Summary: Formal demand for cessation of harmful conduct, false statements, and retaliatory behaviour towards children in care.


On the Peril of Reckless Words in the Hands of Unfit Guardians


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic issued a formal notice to Westminster Children’s Services after discovering that her child, Regal, had documented in his journal a statement allegedly made by social worker Kirsty Hornal: that she possessed videos of the mother threatening to kill herself. The journal was originally shared by Regal to show his maths work — the disclosure emerged upon review, prompting independent reporting of the abuse.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  1. The statement, if made, constitutes emotional abuse and a clear safeguarding violation.

  2. Westminster’s conduct towards the children is hostile, humiliating, and intimidatory.

  3. False narratives and retaliatory behaviour are being deployed as behavioural control tactics.

  4. The children are being subjected to instructions that are unlawful, unreasonable, and harmful.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a child’s academic work becomes a vessel for abuse disclosures, it demonstrates not only the courage of the child but the failure of the institution. SWANK London Ltd. records this not merely as misconduct, but as evidence of systemic unsuitability for child guardianship.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, s.31 – Emotional harm to children.

  • Working Together to Safeguard Children – Breach of statutory safeguarding duties.

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life absent lawful basis.

  • Public Sector Equality Duty – Failure to respect dignity and avoid discriminatory treatment.


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster’s conduct reflects a conflation of authority with impunity. The children are under no lawful obligation to submit to instructions that are unlawful, unethical, or harmful — nor is any member of the public. Professional bias dressed as safeguarding is a dangerous masquerade, and SWANK London Ltd. will continue to catalogue each breach until such practices are eradicated.


Final Paragraph – SWANK’s Legal-Aesthetic Authority
If Westminster’s working assumption is that all behaviour springs from hate, the error lies not in the children’s conduct but in the warped lens of those charged with their care. SWANK London Ltd. will hold the record until the narrative is reclaimed by truth.

Chromatic v. Westminster City Council & Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea – On the Legal and Ethical Requirements of Professional Competence in Child Welfare



SWANK LONDON LTD – EVIDENTIARY CATALOGUE ENTRY
Filed: 10 August 2025
Ref: WCC+RBKC/PC-CONDUCT/2025-08-10
Filename: 2025-08-10_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_RBKC_ProfessionalConductObjection.pdf
Summary: Formal objection to Westminster and RBKC’s professional conduct, with demand for immediate lawful, dignified treatment of children in care.


On the Unacceptability of Ignorance in Positions of Authority


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic issued a formal written objection to Westminster and RBKC Children’s Services, citing systemic deficiencies in training, professional will, and adherence to statutory safeguarding obligations. The letter challenges the competence and conduct of named social workers and senior managers, highlighting the disparity between lawful child welfare duties and the behaviour observed in practice.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  1. The respondents’ conduct fails to meet even the baseline standards of lawful safeguarding practice.

  2. There is a demonstrable absence of professional rigour, respect for dignity, and adherence to statutory obligations.

  3. The sustained hostility towards the complainant and her children is incompatible with lawful, ethical public service.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the preservation of dignity in child welfare work is not optional, and the spectacle of institutional actors attempting to perform it without preparation, skill, or self-awareness is both dangerous and absurd. This is not merely a failure of training; it is a collapse of professional legitimacy.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

  • Working Together to Safeguard Children (Statutory Guidance) – Non-compliance with statutory duties.

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life absent lawful justification.

  • Public Service Ethical Standards – Breach of professional conduct and impartiality.


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster and RBKC’s conduct represents an unambiguous deviation from lawful and ethical safeguarding standards. SWANK London Ltd. demands immediate remedial action, the cessation of hostility towards the complainant’s children, and the replacement of unfit personnel with individuals capable of lawful, trauma-informed practice.


Final Paragraph – SWANK’s Legal-Aesthetic Authority
One may forgive ignorance in the untrained, the uninitiated, or the unassuming. But when it resides in those appointed to guard the welfare of children, it is neither forgivable nor survivable as policy. SWANK London Ltd. will continue to hold the mirror high until the reflection is either corrected or removed.

On the Utter Absurdity of Allowing the Unfit to Judge the Fit



SWANK LONDON LTD – EVIDENTIARY CATALOGUE ENTRY
Filed: 8 August 2025
Ref: WCC/CP-EVAL/2025-08-08
Filename: 2025-08-08_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_ConnectedPersonsEvaluation.pdf
Summary: Formal condemnation of Westminster’s connected persons evaluation process as procedurally compromised, biased, and ethically bankrupt.


Chromatic v. Westminster City Council – On the Lawful Irrelevance of Biased Connected Persons Evaluations


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic submitted a formal written notice to Westminster Children’s Services condemning the ongoing connected persons evaluation. The notice identifies the central flaw: the evaluators themselves — having a record of procedural breaches, safeguarding misuse, and demonstrable unfitness — are permitted to dictate life-altering decisions for children.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  1. The process is structurally unsound, undermined from inception by unqualified and biased decision-makers.

  2. There is no lawful threshold analysis or best interests determination guiding the outcome.

  3. Arbitrary gatekeeping supplants lawful evaluation, exposing children to continued harm.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because permitting the professionally unfit to determine the fates of children is not simply incompetent — it is procedurally void and morally grotesque. This is not “assessment”; it is administrative cosplay with real-world casualties.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to apply lawful threshold and best interests criteria.

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life absent lawful justification.

  • Public Law Principles – Bias, procedural impropriety, and irrationality.


V. SWANK’s Position

The connected persons evaluation, as conducted by Westminster, is neither credible nor lawful. Its outcome is pre-tainted by the demonstrable misconduct and bias of its architects. SWANK London Ltd. asserts that this process should be disregarded in its entirety and replaced with an evaluation conducted by neutral, qualified professionals under judicial oversight.


Final Paragraph – SWANK’s Legal-Aesthetic Authority
It is not merely improper to let those with a history of safeguarding malpractice dictate the placement of children — it is an act of institutional self-parody. Westminster may dress bias in the robes of procedure, but SWANK will ensure the court, the press, and the public see it for what it is: a farce too dangerous to be left standing.

In re: Murphy (WCC) – Coercive Suppression of Child Voice and Emotional Abuse Allegations



SWANK LONDON LTD

Filed: 8 August 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/ETHICS/MURPHY-ABUSE-2025
PDF Filename: 2025-08-08_SWANK_Letter_Murphy_EmotionalAbuseAndSuppression.pdf
One-Line Summary: Formal notice to Westminster’s Mr. Murphy regarding emotional abuse, coercion, and suppression of child voice.


From the Bench of the Mirror Court

In re: The Matter of Mr. Murphy’s Credential-Shy Coercion v. The Voice of the Child


I. What Happened

During supervised contact, my children disclosed that Mr. Murphy — operating under Westminster Children’s Services — has:

  • Discouraged them from expressing their wishes;

  • Threatened them with separation for speaking openly about their experiences; and

  • Attempted to dissuade them from disclosing concerns about their foster placement.

This behaviour was neither accidental nor incidental. It was deliberate, patterned, and wholly incompatible with lawful safeguarding practice.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

Mr. Murphy’s conduct constitutes:

  • Emotional abuse under Children Act 1989, s.31;

  • A breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 12;

  • Potential criminality under the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and Misfeasance in Public Office; and

  • A direct violation of Article 8 ECHR – the right to private and family life.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK London Ltd. is committed to archiving instances of procedural malpractice, safeguarding misuse, and the weaponisation of authority against children’s voices. This case exemplifies all three.


IV. Violations

  1. Suppression of Child Voice – An unlawful silencing of the very individuals the system purports to protect.

  2. Use of Threats as Behaviour Management – A safeguarding abomination.

  3. Failure to Uphold Professional Standards – No evidence of relevant training in child psychology or trauma-informed care.


V. SWANK’s Position

The Mirror Court is unimpressed by Mr. Murphy’s apparent reluctance to operate within the confines of law, ethics, and basic decency. A 48-hour written response has been demanded, including:

  • Proof of safeguarding qualifications;

  • Evidence of formal training in child psychology and trauma-informed care;

  • A plan to permanently end the suppression of lawful communication by my children.

Failure to respond will be treated as a refusal, preserved in the evidentiary record, and escalated to court and oversight bodies — with the U.S. Consulate already on copy.
