“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 (1 line): Westminster’s safeguarding “assessments” exposed as narrative-driven bias, not evidence.

I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services approached my family not as neutral investigators but as narrative enforcers. What should have been evidence-based safeguarding became reputational theatre: presumption first, facts later.

II. What the Addendum Establishes

Disability Dismissal
Medical evidence of asthma and sewer gas–induced dysphonia ignored; disability recast as “non-engagement.”

Victim-Blaming
Reports of assault and harassment inverted into allegations against the victim.

Contradictory Allegations
Accused simultaneously of “too many men over” and “isolating children.” Contradiction is proof of narrative manipulation.

Suppression of Children’s Voices
Requests for Romeo and Prince to attend meetings refused. Their right to be heard (UNCRC Art. 12) silenced.

Disregard of Documentary Evidence
Records ignored; pressure applied to restate them verbally until rebranded as non-cooperation.

Deliberate Narrative Shaping
Professionals primed with Local Authority framing before meeting me or the children. Friends and community contacts withdrew after LA contact. Professionals shifted from neutral to hostile. Narrative poisoning succeeded.

III. Consequences

  • Decisions built on presumption, not fact.

  • Children’s welfare harmed by silenced voices, lost friendships, broken education.

  • Disability aggravated by refusal of accommodations.

  • Social and professional ties deliberately destroyed.

  • The welfare principle inverted: harm inflicted by safeguarding itself.

IV. Legal and Doctrinal Breaches

  • Equality Act 2010 – ss.20–21 (reasonable adjustments), s.149 (Public Sector Equality Duty).

  • Children Act 1989 – s.1 (welfare paramountcy), s.22(4)–(5) (parental consultation).

  • ECHR – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (family life).

  • UNCRC – Articles 3, 9, 12 (best interests, family life, child’s right to be heard).

  • Case Law – Re B-S (Children) [2013] EWCA Civ 1146 (requires evidence-based analysis before separation); Re C (Care: Consultation with Parents) [2006] 2 FLR 787 (duty to consult); A v United Kingdom (1998) 27 EHRR 611(Article 8 family life).

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding. It is failed research masquerading as professional assessment:

  • Confirmation bias dressed as evaluation.

  • Narrative poisoning repackaged as child protection.

  • Welfare inverted into harm.

Any assessment conducted under these conditions is procedurally unsafe, legally discriminatory, and doctrinally void.

Closing Declaration

The Mirror Court declares: Westminster’s safeguarding is not evidence but narrative theatre. Each allegation is less a fact than a performance. Each “assessment” is research malpractice. Where neutrality has been poisoned, only the record remains — and the record is mine.
