Metadata
Filed: 19 September 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/DARVO/2025-09-19
Summary: Local Authority’s reliance on the DARVO tactic — Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender — as a substitute for lawful safeguarding.

I. What Happened
Westminster Children’s Services displayed textbook DARVO:
Deny medical facts (asthma, dysphonia, sewer gas poisoning, homeschooling approval).
Attack the Director’s credibility (“non-engaging,” “unstable”).
Reverse Victim and Offender by posing as the aggrieved party while the true victims — the Director and her four U.S. citizen children — were framed as offenders.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
DARVO is not safeguarding. It is an institutional abuse tactic, a rhetorical device dressed as risk assessment. Independent anchors — NHS Resolution, police reports, injunction orders — unravel the Local Authority’s denials and reversals.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because silence would be complicity. SWANK exists to catalogue institutional theatre. DARVO is a theatre of inversion, performed with bureaucratic straight faces.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 — safeguarding powers distorted.
Equality Act 2010 — disability adjustments denied, then twisted into accusations.
Article 8 ECHR — family life interfered with on manufactured grounds.
Social Work England Standards — honesty, integrity, and trauma-informed practice abandoned.
V. SWANK’s Position
DARVO belongs to abusers, not statutory authorities. Its use against a disabled mother and four children is beneath the dignity of any lawful safeguarding practice.
The Mirror Court finds: denial is not truth, attack is not evidence, reversal is not law.
Closing Authority
SWANK London Ltd. files this Addendum as a work of velvet jurisprudence, declaring Westminster’s DARVO as inadmissible inversion, a stage trick unfit for court, and an embarrassment to law.
