“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

R (Chromatic) v Westminster: On the Accidental Fame of the Social Worker Who Thought Nobody Would Notice


🪞
SWANK ENTRY
“You’re Welcome, Kirsty.”
On the Involuntary Fame of a Social Worker Who Mistook Silence for Power

⟡ Filed Date:

15 July 2025

⟡ Reference Code:

SWANK/FAME/KH-ICON01

⟡ Court Filename:

⟡ One-Line Summary:

Kirsty Hornal has achieved what most caseworkers only dream of: immortality by misconduct.

I. What Happened

There once was a social worker who thought no one was watching.

She ignored emails.
She withheld contact.
She violated court orders.
She redefined the term “concern” until it no longer resembled care, just control.

And then —
She met SWANK.

Now her decisions are publicly footnoted, her replies time-stamped, her evasions immortalised in a catalogue of velvet dissent.

II. What This Confirms

Let us not pretend this is an accident.

Kirsty Hornal is now the most cited woman in SWANK’s evidentiary archive.

  • She appears in more entries than any Westminster policy.

  • Her words have been analysed more than the Children Act itself.

  • Her emails are now cross-referenced with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Not because she’s important.
But because she couldn’t stop writing violations into existence.

She could have been invisible.
She chose to be exemplary.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because fame is funny.
Some people audition.
Others file contact schedules, get ignored, and accidentally catapult a mid-level bureaucrat into legacy status.

Kirsty didn’t just enter a family’s life.
She inserted herself into public legal history.

No one asked her to supervise.
But now we supervise her — daily.

IV. Violations That Made Her Famous

  • Breach of 11 July court-ordered contact

  • Procedural sabotage via email

  • Emotional obstruction disguised as professionalism

  • Institutional tone-policing

  • Ignoring health disclosures

  • And rewriting “concern” into a colonial instrument of compliance

V. SWANK’s Position

We don’t need thanks, Kirsty.

We need:

  • A weekly contact schedule

  • A public apology

  • And the professional removal of anyone who believes motherhood is optional if a woman uses big words and doesn’t flinch

This post is not a eulogy.
It is a profile.

And in the archive of safeguarding failure, Kirsty Hornal now has her own chapter.
You’re welcome.
