Summary: Two asthmatic children made ill by compulsory attendance; paracetamol prescribed for bureaucracy, not for lungs.
I. What Happened
The Local Authority, undeterred by repeated warnings, dispatched two children with Eosinophilic Asthma into an infection-rich school environment. The result: fever, cough, congestion, fatigue. The LA’s “solution”? Paracetamol — as though bureaucracy might be medicated into competence.
II. What the Addendum Establishes
Ill children cannot be compelled into unsafe educational spaces under guise of welfare.
Learning does not occur in conditions of breathlessness.
“Safeguarding” has been redefined as the art of ignoring medical evidence while ticking attendance registers.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because health is not ornamental, and asthma is not imaginary. The LA’s mismanagement elevates infection exposure to official policy, degrading both the welfare principle and the children themselves.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, s.22(3)(a): Welfare abandoned to the timetable of school bells.
Equality Act 2010: No adjustments, only indifference.
Article 8 ECHR: Family life fractured, health disregarded.
Article 3 ECHR: Degrading treatment made policy.
Bromley (11th Ed., p. 640): A reminder that safeguarding powers are not toys of coercion.
V. SWANK’s Position
The Local Authority cannot conceal medical endangerment beneath pedagogical pretext. Illness is not truancy; asthma is not disobedience. Prerogative and Kingdom require recovery at home, not degradation in corridors. Westminster’s failures are now filed as further evidence of systemic procedural decay.
