Email from Kirsty Hornal (WCC) casually cancelling a scheduled PLO meeting — without justification, replacement date, or regard for procedural integrity.

I. What Happened

On 1 May 2025, Kirsty Hornal of Westminster Children’s Services sent an email cancelling a scheduled Public Law Outline (PLO) meeting. The reason? None provided. The replacement date? “Please look out for further notification.” This message was issued less than 48 hours before the statutory meeting and included no reference to the family’s medical accommodations, legal status, or the implications of delay on safeguarding.

It is a shining example of how public authorities exercise complete indifference when it is their own procedural duties on the line — while punishing families for the slightest deviation from expectations.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Disregard for legal obligations under the Children Act and PLO guidance

• Sudden cancellation of a mandatory child protection meeting

• Absence of explanation or rescheduling protocol

• Ongoing evidence of administrative retaliation and emotional destabilisation

• Institutional mismanagement during active legal escalation

III. Why SWANK Filed It

In most jurisdictions, a meeting this critical — one that may lead to child removal or court proceedings — would require notice, documentation, and written reasons. In Westminster, apparently, it can be cancelled with less than two lines of text. This document confirms what other records have already shown: the authority's misuse of process is not reactive — it is routine.

SWANK archived this document to:

• Expose Westminster’s pattern of PLO disruption, delay, and informalism

• Demonstrate how administrative instability is used to psychologically destabilise families

• Reinforce the evidentiary trail for judicial review, ombudsman filings, and public accountability

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989 – Failure to ensure procedural fairness in child protection planning

• Public Law Outline Protocol – Undue delay and lack of documentation

• Equality Act 2010 – Ignoring written-communication adjustments

• Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (private/family life)

• Social Work England Professional Standards – Breach of integrity, clarity, and reliability

V. SWANK’s Position

The PLO process is not a social calendar. It is a legally codified pathway through which families are threatened with court intervention — often without cause. Cancelling these meetings without notice, documentation, or rationale is not just negligent. It is institutionally violent.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for immediate intervention by oversight bodies to investigate the cancellation patterns within Westminster Children’s Services — particularly those linked to families asserting disability rights or resisting procedural abuse.
