“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

Re: Westminster Children’s Services — In the Matter of Phantom Parenting Assessments and Procedural Retaliation


⟡ ADDENDUM: Are We Ever Going to Do the Parenting Assessment? ⟡

“Phantom Procedure: On Parenting Assessments Never Ordered, Never Conducted, and Always Threatened”

Filed: 6 September 2025

Download PDF: 2025-09-06_Addendum_ParentingAssessment.pdf
Summary: Addendum documenting Westminster’s reliance on the phantom threat of a parenting assessment as retaliation, not lawful safeguarding.

I. What Happened

• For months, Westminster invoked “parenting assessment” as inevitable, yet never carried one out.
• The supposed foundation (St Thomas intoxication allegation, projection of instability, defamatory competence claims) has collapsed.
• Meanwhile, children’s lives remain disrupted by the shadow of an assessment rhetorically invoked but never lawfully executed.

II. What the Addendum Establishes

• Empty Theatre — the assessment is a rhetorical cudgel, not a procedure.
• Disproven Premise — allegations underpinning it dismantled.
• Question of Competence — authority of would-be assessors eclipsed by the Director’s own advanced degree in Human Development.
• Inverted Hierarchy — exposing institutional insecurity where lesser-qualified agents presume evaluative authority.
• Procedural Retaliation — the phantom assessment used as intimidation, not child protection.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• Legal relevance: phantom procedures constitute harassment, not safeguarding.
• Oversight value: records the misuse of assessments as empty threats.
• Historical preservation: documents inverted competence and institutional insecurity.
• Policy precedent: shows safeguarding language weaponised as intimidation.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

Domestic Law
• Children Act 1989, Sections 47 & 17 — assessments must be necessary and proportionate.
• Children Act 2004, Section 11 — duty to safeguard breached by reliance on phantom assessments.
• Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 — disregard of disability and expertise.
• UK GDPR, Article 5(1)(d) — safeguarding records inaccurate when referencing assessments never conducted.

Human Rights
• Article 6 ECHR — fair hearing undermined by speculative procedures.
• Article 8 ECHR — family life disrupted by phantom threats.
• Article 14 ECHR — discriminatory targeting of a disabled American mother and whistleblower.
• UNCRC Article 12 — children’s voices ignored in phantom procedures.

Academic Authority
• Bromley’s Family Law — safeguarding must be proportionate, evidence-based, and lawfully ordered.

Oversight & Standards
• Social Work England Standards — honesty and integrity breached.
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) — proportionality and transparency absent.
• ICO — safeguarding records corrupted by false references.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding.
This is phantom theatre masquerading as authority.

We do not accept assessments invoked but never executed.
We reject inverted competence as lawful process.
We will document the misuse of phantom procedure as institutional retaliation.
