Summary: Records that ten social workers in this case — and twenty over a decade — repeated the same hostility, proving systemic defect.
I. What Happened
• In the present case, ten different social workers have been assigned.
• Across the past decade, the Director has dealt with over twenty in total.
• Each replacement was presented as a remedy but produced identical outcomes: suspicion, hostility, distortion of facts, refusal to engage in writing, and disregard for developmental needs.
• The revolving door of personnel created instability for children, compounding rather than resolving harm.
II. What the Document Establishes
• Systemic failure – misconduct repeated across ten and twenty practitioners proves institutional culture, not individual error.
• Futility of replacement – turnover offers no remedy; each worker replicated the same script.
• Instability for children – constant changes eroded trust, continuity, and emotional security.
• Pattern evidence – turnover joins retaliation, distrust, and safeguarding collapse as evidence of structural malpractice.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• Legal relevance – demonstrates breach of statutory duties and human rights.
• Policy precedent – highlights failure to implement Munro Review recommendations on continuity.
• Historical preservation – secures the record of instability across ten and twenty personnel.
• Pattern recognition – evidences that staff replacement is not remedy but institutional repetition.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Children Act 1989 – ss.1, 10, 17, 22, 47 breached through repeated instability.
• Children Act 2004, s.11 – safeguarding duty undermined by institutionalised turnover.
• Care Standards Act 2000 – professional fitness eroded by hostile repetition.
• Equality Act 2010, s.20 – disability adjustments consistently denied.
• UNCRC – Articles 3, 9, 12 disregarded.
• ECHR – Articles 3, 6, 8 breached.
• Human Rights Act 1998, s.6 – incompatible practice repeated across staff.
• Academic Authority –
– Bromley’s Family Law: condemns misuse of safeguarding powers where non-cooperation is recast as risk; turnover proves systemic misuse.
– Amos, Human Rights Law: confirms disproportionate escalation incompatible with Article 8.
– Munro Review (2011): stressed continuity of relationships; Westminster ignored it.
– NSPCC & UNICEF: require stability and proportionality; neither observed.
• Case Law – Re KD (1988), Lancashire CC v B (2000), Re H (1996), Re C and B (2001), Re L (2007), Re J (2013), Re B (2013), YC v UK (2012).
• Developmental Psychology – Bowlby’s attachment theory, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems, and ACE research confirm that turnover destabilises growth and produces trauma.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not renewal. This is repetition disguised as remedy.
• We do not accept the fiction that replacement cures misconduct.
• We reject the revolving door of hostility as lawful practice.
• We will document turnover itself as a systemic hazard and cultural defect.
