“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

Chromatic v Westminster: When Four Regulators Must Babysit One Local Authority


Notification of Regulatory Escalation

Metadata

  • Filed: 19 August 2025

  • Reference: SWANK Addendum – Notification of Regulatory Escalation

  • Filename: 2025-08-19_Addendum_Notification_RegulatoryEscalation.pdf

  • Summary: Notice to Court and IRO that Westminster’s retaliatory safeguarding conduct is now subject to ICO, EHRC, Ofsted, and PHSO scrutiny.

I. What Happened

Having filed the Audit Retaliation Addendum and a Directions Request, the Applicant then lodged formal complaintswith four external regulators:

  • Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) – data misuse, secrecy, and procedural blackout.

  • Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) – systemic disability discrimination.

  • Ofsted – safeguarding malpractice and educational harm.

  • Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) – maladministration, retaliation, and bureaucratic cowardice.

The Court, the Independent Reviewing Officer, and the Local Authority have now all been notified.

II. What This Establishes

That Westminster Children’s Services can no longer posture as an untouchable bureaucracy.
That its actions of 23 June 2025 — a retaliatory Emergency Protection Order following an audit demand — are now in the hands of multiple regulators simultaneously.
That institutional self-protection has collapsed into institutional babysitting: four watchdogs and one Court, all required to supervise Westminster’s conduct.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because accountability is not a suggestion.
Because transparency does not wait for consent.
Because where Westminster feared one audit, they now face four investigations and a judicial record.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – EPO misuse contrary to welfare principle.

  • Article 8 ECHR – retaliatory family separation.

  • Equality Act 2010 – disability-based discrimination.

  • International Conventions – UNCRC, Hague, and UNCRPD breaches.

V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster must now reconcile itself to the fact that its misconduct is being read by four regulators, one judge, an IRO, and the public.
What began as an attempt to silence an audit has become an exercise in multi-agency humiliation.

Closing Declaration

This Notification Addendum is not merely a filing — it is a notice of collapse.
Where one regulator might be dismissed, four regulators converge.
Where Westminster sought to erase, we inscribe.

WE FILE WHAT OTHERS FORGET.
WE RESPOND WHERE THEY DON’T.
WE WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN.
