“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

Retaliation in the Guise of Professional Judgment

I. The Referral Was Not Emotional. It Was Evidentiary.

On 2 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. delivered a formal referral to Social Work England regarding the conduct of Ms Kirsty Hornal, Senior Practitioner at Westminster Children’s Services.

The purpose?
To record conduct so profoundly misaligned with law, ethics, and dignity that no self-respecting archive could omit it.

On 31 May 2025, Ms Hornal composed an email which declared Westminster’s intention to “apply to court for a supervision order.” The problem?

  • There was no risk.

  • There was no meeting.

  • There was no legal threshold.

  • And it arrived in the context of active litigation and disability-based communication adjustments — all deliberately ignored.

This was not a safeguarding decision.
It was a professional tantrum dressed in statutory costume.


II. The Standards She Violated — And Why They Matter

We are not interested in polite reformulations of power abuse.
We are interested in consequences.

Ms Hornal’s actions breach the following Social Work England Code of Ethics:

  • 1.6 – Failing to respect documented adjustments

  • 1.9 – Misusing professional power

  • 2.2 – Collapsing professional boundaries into personal retaliation

  • 5.4 – Failing to raise concerns when harm is enacted through process

Her correspondence did not safeguard.
It destabilised, discriminated, and deliberately weaponised ambiguity.


III. The Institutional Style of Threat

This is not a rogue act. It is a style.

recognisable state aesthetic:
➤ vague legalism
➤ denial of intent
➤ undermining of procedural safeguards
➤ and always, a tone of pastel professionalism to disarm the charge

But SWANK is not disarmed.
We file, we index, and we expose the choreography.

“Please do take the letter of intent to a solicitor for advice.”
— She thought it was a brush-off. We filed it as Exhibit B.


IV. SWANK’s Position

Regulators exist not to polish misconduct but to excise it.
This referral does not seek re-education. It seeks removal.

Ms Hornal’s conduct demonstrates a professional who no longer serves the function she is paid to perform:
Safeguarding life, not threatening it.

We are not aggrieved. We are archiving.
And this record now lives forever — beyond HR, beyond FOIA evasion, and certainly beyond the reach of polite deletion.
