The Audit that Provoked a Panic: Westminster’s Retaliatory EPO
📌 Filed: 18 August 2025
📌 Reference: SWANK Addendum – Audit/Retaliation Sequence
📌 Filename: 2025-08-18_Addendum_AuditRetaliation.pdf
📌 Summary: An audit request for unlawful removals was met not with candour, but with an Emergency Protection Order. This is not protection. It is retaliation.
I. What Happened
On 6 June 2025, Westminster was placed under formal audit.
On 7 June 2025, a threat of supervision emerged — spontaneous, baseless, and utterly incompatible with the disability adjustments on record.
On 16 June 2025, the audit was escalated when Westminster failed to comply.
On 23 June 2025, Westminster — in a paroxysm of panic — executed an Emergency Protection Order and removed four U.S. citizen children.
This is not a safeguarding chronology. It is an institutional tantrum.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That when confronted with lawful oversight, Westminster responded not with accountability but with aggression.
That safeguarding law was not applied as protection, but as a blunt instrument of self-preservation.
That the removal was the bureaucratic equivalent of smashing the fire alarm when one is caught in the archives.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because retaliation is not child protection.
Because an Emergency Protection Order should not be the administrative equivalent of a cover-up.
Because Westminster’s behaviour illuminates a pathology: institutions prefer retaliation to reform.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 – EPO as weapon, not welfare.
Article 8 ECHR – family life sacrificed to save face.
Equality Act 2010 – disability accommodations trampled underfoot.
UNCRC, Hague, UNCRPD – international obligations shredded in panic.
V. SWANK’s Position
Westminster has demonstrated that when faced with scrutiny, it resorts to sabotage.
The retaliation is clear, the timing undeniable, and the misuse of law extraordinary.
In the velvet records of the Mirror Court, this episode shall remain a cautionary tale: when you audit the negligent, expect them to retaliate.
Closing Declaration
This post is archived so that the retaliatory character of Westminster’s Emergency Protection Order cannot be erased.
Where others excuse, SWANK documents. Where they retaliate, SWANK writes.
