“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

Summary: Forced into research by retaliation, the parent becomes both litigant and archivist — conducting institutional ethnography from inside the gears.

I. What Happened

These proceedings demanded more than defence. They conscripted a parent into the role of institutional researcher. The misconduct of the Local Authority created not anecdote but dataset, not speculation but study. What should have been care became experiment — one conducted upon a family, but documented by the mother as research.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That disability was repeatedly misclassified as “non-engagement.”
• That procedure was deployed not as safeguard but as punishment.
• That escalation reliably followed oversight requests, proving retaliation by design.
• That the children’s welfare was not served but subverted.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not personal grievance but institutional ethnography conducted from within the machine itself.Timelines, bundles, and addenda have produced an archive larger, more rigorous, and more coherent than the Local Authority’s own record. The litigant has become the archivist; the parent, the researcher.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Article 8 ECHR — family life corroded by punitive misclassification.
• Equality Act 2010 — disability rights breached through systemic distortion.
• Safeguarding standards — inverted into instruments of intimidation.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not defence.
This is research.

  • We do not accept that retaliation is incidental.

  • We reject safeguarding re-scripted as punishment.

  • We affirm that what began as harm has been converted into institutional data.

The Mirror Court asserts: the mother has become researcher, the archive her reply. This is institutional research from inside the gears — adversarial, evidentiary, and irreversible.
