“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: 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.
