“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

Rafiq v Retaliation: On the Withholding of Exculpatory Psychiatry in State-Led Disputes

⟡ “Psychiatrically Well, Legally Targeted” ⟡

Official rebuttal to unsubstantiated mental health and substance misuse allegations.


I. What Happened

In November 2024, at the request of Westminster Children’s Services, a psychiatric assessment of the Applicant, Polly Chromatic, was conducted by Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Irfan Rafiq. This assessment unequivocally confirmed that she:
• Does not use alcohol or drugs
• Has no mental illness
• Presents no high-risk behaviour
• Requires written communication due to medical conditions

Despite this, on 15 April 2025, social worker Kirsty Hornal introduced mental health allegations during a PLO meeting — after the Applicant filed a £23 million civil claim and just days before submitting her Judicial Review.

The PLO was mysteriously cancelled weeks later. No new psychiatric report was cited. No correction issued.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

• False or abandoned mental health concerns were deployed to justify procedural escalation.
• These claims were not based on evidence or updated assessments.
• The existing psychiatric report contradicted every claim made in the April PLO.
• These tactics followed protected legal filings — revealing a retaliatory sequence.
• The misrepresentation of health records and withholding of exculpatory evidence breaches statutory duty.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK London Ltd considers the strategic deployment of disproven mental health concerns to be emblematic of a broader institutional failure — one in which vulnerable litigants are mischaracterised in order to silence or discredit lawful resistance.

That the psychiatric report in question was commissioned by Westminster, and then apparently ignored, demonstrates an intent to distort truth rather than discover it.

This is not safeguarding.
This is administrative defamation in legal costume.


IV. Violations

• Data Misrepresentation and Withholding – Breach of statutory duties under the Children Act 1989
• ECHR Article 8 – Right to private and family life
• Duty of Candour – Procedural fairness ignored
• Misuse of Statutory Powers – Inappropriate invocation of safeguarding based on disproven claims


V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster’s handling of this issue reveals a dangerous institutional impulse:
To retaliate when challenged. To escalate when legally resisted.
And to weaponise medical narratives as a smokescreen for failure.

SWANK London Ltd does not accept:
• The distortion of psychiatric findings
• The strategic withholding of exculpatory documents
• The abuse of mental health tropes to undermine parental credibility
