“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 Chromatic v. Westminster: On the Rejection of a Master’s Degree in Favour of a Bachelor’s in Social Work


⟡ Epistemic Discrimination: The Credentials Double Standard ⟡

Summary: Westminster dismisses advanced interdisciplinary training while privileging its own narrower degree — exposing hypocrisy and bad faith.

I. What Happened

• For more than ten years, Westminster Children’s Services dismissed the mother’s qualifications, portraying her as “unqualified” to address welfare, education, or psychology.
• This dismissal persisted despite her holding three academic degrees, two of which directly relate to child development and psychology.
• By contrast, frontline social workers typically hold a single BA in Social Work and registration with Social Work England.
• The Local Authority privileged its own narrower training while erasing broader, interdisciplinary expertise.

II. What the Document Establishes

• Selective Dismissal – Credentials recognised only when they reinforce control, not when they illuminate truth.
• Hierarchical Hypocrisy – A Master’s in Human Development is ignored, while a BA in Social Work is treated as unimpeachable.
• Weaponised Ignorance – Credentials operate as exclusionary tools, not as markers of genuine expertise.
• Procedural Relevance – Psychology and human development are central to safeguarding; dismissing them is both irrational and prejudicial.
• Comparative Authority – The mother’s interdisciplinary credentials exceed the narrow scope of social work training.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• To archive the epistemic hypocrisy at the heart of Westminster’s safeguarding practice.
• To preserve evidence that “qualification” functions here as a political fiction, not an intellectual standard.
• To expose that dismissal of a Master’s degree in favour of a BA is not merely inconsistent, but reputationally embarrassing for Britain.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Equality Act 2010 – Discriminatory treatment through selective erasure of credentials.
• Article 14, ECHR – Unequal recognition of qualifications based on institutional status.
• Children Act 1989 – Paramountcy principle undermined when professional bias erases relevant expertise.
• International Context – In the U.S. and elsewhere, such credentials would qualify the mother as a consultant, not a suspect.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not professional judgment. This is credential hypocrisy, archived.

• We do not accept epistemic double standards.
• We reject credential erasure as policy.
• We will document that the dismissal of rigorous training in favour of institutional narrowness exposes the Local Authority as absurd.
