“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

She Missed the Visit — But Not the Power Play.


⟡ She Didn’t Show Up. Then She Shrugged It Off. ⟡
When the safeguarding visit fails to happen — but the blame lands on the family anyway.

An email exchange documenting that social worker Kirsty Hornal failed to attend a scheduled appointment, only to respond with flippant dismissal — despite prior notice, medical coordination, and legal vulnerability.

I. What Happened

The parent prepared for the visit.
Legal notices had been sent. Documentation was ready.
No one arrived.
Hours later, Kirsty Hornal replied — not with apology, not with explanation, but with bureaucratic banality.
No concern for the disruption. No regard for the trauma.
Just the institutional version of “oops.”

II. What the Email Establishes

  • That a scheduled safeguarding visit was missed without notice

  • That the parent made all reasonable preparations under duress

  • That Kirsty Hornal replied as if no disruption occurred

  • That there was no acknowledgment of disability, impact, or professional obligation

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when they ignore appointments, they’re “busy.”
But when you do, you’re “non-compliant.”
Because procedural negligence is not harmless — it’s destabilising.
And because missed visits become future allegations — unless you publish the record.

IV. Violations Identified

  • Professional Negligence in Safeguarding Scheduling

  • Failure to Provide Reasonable Notice of Non-Attendance

  • Emotional Harm via Institutional Disruption

  • Dismissal of Communication Needs and Medical Context

  • Use of Silence as Shield for Administrative Failure

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to miss the appointment and still hold the power.
You don’t get to forget your calendar and then critique the parent’s conduct.
This wasn’t a no-show.
It was a warning — of how care becomes control when it’s only enforced one way.
