“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

Misuse of Power. Misuse of Process. Complaint Filed.

I. When the Procedure Is the Threat, the Badge Is Secondary.

This formal complaint, addressed to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), concerns the Metropolitan Police’s calculated abuse of safeguarding procedure — not to protect, but to destabilise.

The complainant?
A disabled mother with a written-only adjustment and a legal archive.
The context?
A history of documented institutional harm and lawful complaints already filed.

And yet — they escalated.

This wasn’t a mistake.

It was a tactic in plainclothes format.

II. What the Complaint Documents

  • Use of safeguarding language to bypass legal thresholds

  • In-person police attendance in violation of a documented written-only communication adjustment

  • Clear evidence of:

    • Procedural overreach

    • Retaliatory escalation

    • Administrative harassment disguised as liaison

  • Violations of:

    • Article 6 (Fair Process)

    • Article 8 (Family and Private Life)

    • Article 14 (Discrimination)

    • Equality Act 2010 (Disability Discrimination & Victimisation)

This was not public protection.

It was institutional messaging, delivered through procedural misuse.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because there is a point where safeguarding is no longer a tool of care.
It becomes a weapon of discipline — wielded against those who file, refuse, or remember too much.

We filed this because:

  • Written-only adjustments are not optional.

  • Disability rights are not “courtesies.”

  • Police action without lawful trigger is not care — it is coercion by process.

Let the record show:

  • There was no emergency.

  • There was no proportionality.

  • There was only escalation — and now, there is complaint.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept safeguarding used as social punishment.
We do not permit law enforcement to operate as an instrument of complaint deterrence.
We do not redact misconduct merely because it arrives with a badge.

Let the record show:

Procedure was misused.
Disability was ignored.
Rights were breached.
And SWANK has filed the consequence.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
This wasn’t enforcement.
This was retaliation dressed in compliance.
