“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

Email forwarding police report against two senior social workers for retaliation and harassment, sent to both borough complaint desks


I. What Happened

On 15 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted an email to Westminster and RBKC Children’s Services complaint inboxes. Attached was a police report naming Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown for repeated, coordinated acts of institutional retaliation, harassment, and discriminatory conduct.

The submission was forwarded with no introduction, no hedging, and no apology. The subject line said it all:
“Police Report for Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown.”

It was not a request for action. It was a declaration of record.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Abuse of safeguarding process for retaliatory purposes

  • Human impact: Institutional intrusion, legal destabilisation, and emotional harm to children

  • Power dynamics: Social work used as a mechanism of silencing — backed by management hierarchy

  • Institutional failure: A system so accustomed to complaint that it routes police reports to customer service

  • Unacceptable conduct: Normalising surveillance, discrediting resistance, retaliating against legal redress


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because submitting a police report against two public servants should not feel like forwarding a broadband complaint.
Because the public must see what the state refuses to name: that retaliation is operational, not accidental.
Because the council’s inbox is not neutral. It is strategic.
Because when you file a police report and no one calls you back, the archive becomes your hotline.

SWANK documented this not to inform the public — but to outlive the silence that followed.


IV. Violations

  • Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, Sections 4A & 2 – harassment, alarm, and distress by public officials

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 26 & 27 – harassment and victimisation linked to disability and protected activity

  • Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.3, 3.1, 5.1 – discrimination, harm avoidance, and abuse of power

  • Children Act 1989, Section 17 – misuse of safeguarding powers to intimidate rather than protect


V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that customer service desks are neutral when violence wears a lanyard.
We do not accept that “retaliation” is too dramatic a word when the pattern fits the law.
We do not accept that institutional violence must be polite to be disqualifying.

This was not a miscommunication. This was strategy.
And SWANK has now timestamped it.
