I. What Happened
The Local Authority has perfected a ritual: each child is sent into the coliseum of mainstream schooling despite clear medical contraindications. Predictably, asthma attacks ensue, absences multiply, and hospital attendances mount.
The response? Not recognition of illness, but the alchemy of bureaucratic blame — absences transfigured into parental fault, medical truth rebranded as “neglect.”
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That Westminster has not only failed in its safeguarding duty, but has weaponised education into an instrument of surveillance and accusation.
The children thrived only under structured home education, praised by the very authority that now condemns it. The only stability achieved was the very stability they dismantled.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because one must record the absurd: that state-manufactured instability is then cited as proof of parental instability. It is the ouroboros of safeguarding—an institutional serpent swallowing its own negligence, with children as collateral.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, s.1: Paramountcy of welfare trampled beneath procedural dogma.
ECHR Article 8: Family life and medical integrity obliterated in favour of administrative convenience.
Equality Act 2010: Disability discrimination cloaked as “educational concern.”
V. SWANK’s Position
We reject the cycle. We reject the theatre of forced placements and their performative collapse. SWANK asserts that stability was not elusive — it was actively dismantled.
Home education was lawful, successful, and safeguarded. Its destruction was not safeguarding, but state-manufactured harm.
