Reference Code: SWANK-A14-DRAYTONPARKDISCLOSURE
Court File Name: 2025-07-15_Addendum_DraytonPark_EvidenceOfDisclosure.pdf
Summary: A formal addendum documenting that clear written disclosures were made to Drayton Park Primary School regarding lawful home education and health-related barriers — disclosures later erased or denied in social work and safeguarding records.

I. What Happened

On multiple occasions in 2022 and 2023, Polly Chromatic informed Drayton Park Primary School of the following:

• That her children were being lawfully educated at home;

• That environmental health hazards (including sewer gas leaks) were affecting the family’s health;

• That she would not cooperate with agencies that had previously harmed her children.

These were not subtle suggestions. They were written, timestamped, and grounded in legal and medical fact. The school acknowledged receipt. No truancy proceedings followed. No referrals to the local authority for education failure occurred at the time.

And yet — months later — these communications vanished from the narrative.
In records shared by Westminster Children’s Services, Polly’s lawful disclosures were recast as evasion, non-cooperation, or even concealment.
The absence of school attendance was framed as neglect. The refusal to engage with known harmful actors was framed as obstruction. And the disclosures — which had already been made — were strategically “forgotten.”

This addendum serves as a rebuttal to fiction.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

1. Drayton Park was explicitly informed of lawful home education, and that information was received and acknowledged.

2. Health-related barriers were clearly disclosed — including serious environmental risks — and documented in writing.

3. There is no lawful or factual basis for later claiming that Polly was non-communicative, evasive, or negligent.

4. The local authority’s version of events is factually untrue and administratively deceptive.

5. The school’s inaction followed by passive complicity enabled this false narrative to harden into institutional record.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because rewriting history is not safeguarding — it is manipulation.
Because a mother who discloses trauma, illness, and legal preference is not failing — she is fulfilling her duties.
Because a school’s failure to honour its own knowledge is not ignorance — it is cowardice.
Because false safeguarding narratives often begin with selective memory — and end with systemic cruelty.

IV. Violations

• Education Act 1996, s.7 – Duty met through home education

• Children Act 1989, s.47 – Duty to investigate based on fact, not erasure

• Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR – Failure to record accurate parental correspondence

• Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination based on disability-related non-engagement

• ECHR, Article 8 – Respect for family life and lawful education decisions

V. SWANK’s Position

We reject the use of selective record-keeping to fabricate institutional narratives.
We reject the rebranding of home education as risk simply because it was outside the state’s preferred mode.
We reject the notion that schools and local authorities may collude in forgetting.

This was not neglect. This was disclosure.
This was not absence. This was autonomy.
And this was not missed — it was deliberately erased.

We preserve it here.
