“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

In re Westminster’s Mislabel: Harassers as Partners, Racism as Character Evidence


🪞 SWANK LEGAL REFLECTION

Filed: 23 August 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-LA-RACISM-HARASSMENT
PDF Filename: 2025-08-23_Addendum_Clarification_PartnerSam_HarassmentRacism.pdf
Summary: Westminster promotes a harasser to “partner,” ignoring racism, hate crime, and common sense.

I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services has attempted to reframe a harasser — a man against whom reports of racism and hate have been made — as a “partner.”

  • The Director does not know his address.

  • She has never met his family.

  • He repeatedly came to her home uninvited, refusing to leave.

  • He refused to spend time with her children because they are mixed-race.

  • His family expressed racist hostility: she was condemned for being white; her children, for being mixed.

  • There has been no contact for months.

This is the man Westminster insists belongs in the narrative.

II. What This Reflection Establishes

That Westminster’s safeguarding practice is less about protection than about performance:

  • Misrepresent harassment as partnership.

  • Promote racists as relevant voices.

  • Recast abuse as character evidence.

It is the theatre of bureaucracy, where reality is inverted and prejudice is passed off as welfare.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the archive must show how far a Local Authority will go to preserve its fiction. Westminster could not protect children from racism, so it imported the racists into safeguarding.

IV. Violations

  • Article 3 ECHR – Degrading treatment of a victim forced to answer for her harassers.

  • Article 8 ECHR – Private life disrupted, family life invaded.

  • Article 14 ECHR – Discrimination on the basis of race and mixed heritage, legitimised by Westminster.

  • Equality Act 2010 – Racist harassment ignored and reframed as safeguarding.

  • Children Act 1989 – Welfare principle inverted; children destabilised.

  • CERD – UK’s obligations under international law flouted.

  • Bromley’s Family Law (14th ed.) – misuse of safeguarding powers.

  • Re B (Children) [2009] UKSC 5 – threshold for interference unmet.

V. SWANK’s Position

This man is not, and has never been, a partner. He is a harasser, and his family racists. Westminster’s attempt to rebrand him is not protection but persecution.

SWANK calls it what it is: racialised harassment dressed as partnership, logged as procedural abuse.
