“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

Polly Chromatic v Westminster: Ofsted Complaint Over Strategic Safeguarding Misuse


⟡ “Safeguarding Was Claimed. No Danger Was Present. And Yet Four Children Were Removed.” ⟡

Complaint submitted to Ofsted regarding Westminster Council’s disproportionate and discriminatory misuse of safeguarding powers.

I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to Ofsted regarding Westminster Council’s safeguarding conduct. Within 48 hours of submitting a criminal referral against Westminster officials, her four U.S. citizen children were removed from her care with no warning, no order, and no opportunity to respond. The alleged rationale was “safeguarding” — yet no emergency existed, no EPO was presented, and no accommodations were provided for her disability. This complaint demands an urgent investigation into whether safeguarding authority was weaponised to pre-empt scrutiny and suppress public exposure.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The children were removed with no visible legal foundation

  • The parent was excluded despite documented communication needs

  • The action followed closely on the heels of a formal criminal complaint

  • “Safeguarding” was invoked to justify total institutional erasure

  • Ofsted, as regulator, is required to examine how this power was authorised and misused

This was not a protective intervention. It was a retaliatory repackaging of enforcement as welfare.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when safeguarding becomes synonymous with disappearance, the term must be retired.
Because no mother should file a complaint one day and lose her children the next.
Because this archive doesn’t wait for reviews — it issues them in real time.
Because if Ofsted cannot distinguish protection from punishment, its role must be redefined.
Because no state body should get to say, “we acted in the child’s best interest,” while erasing the child’s parent from the record.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 31 – Removal without lawful threshold or due process

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20–29 – Discrimination against disabled parent through procedural exclusion

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 and 8 – Right to fair hearing and family life

  • Working Together to Safeguard Children (Statutory Guidance) – Noncompliance with multi-agency standards

  • UNCRC Articles 3, 9, 12 – Removal without consultation, participation, or justification

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was institutional reprisal styled as concern.
This wasn’t assessment. It was an automated abuse of statutory power.
This wasn’t oversight. It was a collapse of the very framework that claims to protect.

SWANK does not recognise “safeguarding” where there is no procedural integrity, no parental access, and no lawful mandate.
We archive this event as a critical failure — not of policy, but of ethics.
