Summary: Westminster’s habitual last-minute scheduling breaches the Equality Act, undermines Bromley welfare principles, and destabilises both disabled parent and children.
I. What Happened
Westminster Children’s Services repeatedly scheduled meetings, reviews, and hearings at the last minute.
No meaningful consideration was given to parental preparation needs.
The Director, who has eosinophilic asthma (autoimmune), requires advance planning to avoid health risks, particularly with speaking engagements.
Short-notice scheduling created asthma exacerbation, vocal strain, and fatigue.
The children’s routines were destabilised, undermining predictability and heightening anxiety.
II. What the Document Establishes
Institutional Incapacity — Westminster’s culture of disorganisation is systemic, not incidental.
Disability Disregard — Equality Act duties for reasonable adjustment ignored.
Child Welfare Harm — Bromley’s Family Law (14th ed.) affirms stability and parental participation as welfare essentials; both are denied here.
Pattern of Retaliation — Short-notice demands obstruct parental engagement by design.
Procedural Unfairness — Article 6 ECHR rights breached by impossibility of meaningful preparation.
Professional Breach — Social Work England’s standards of integrity and communication violated.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
To establish that Westminster’s incapacity to plan is not neutral inefficiency but a safeguarding breach and human rights violation.
Human Rights Context — Articles 6, 8, and 14 ECHR protect fair trial, family life, and non-discrimination. Westminster has breached all three.
Bromley Authority — confirms that parental voice and stability are indispensable to welfare; Westminster’s practice contradicts doctrinal authority.
To preserve evidence of systemic retaliation in the official archive.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Children Act 1989, Section 1 (Welfare Principle) — disrupted routines harm children’s welfare.
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 149 — failure to provide reasonable adjustments; breach of public sector equality duty.
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6, 8 & 14 ECHR — breach of fair trial, family life, and anti-discrimination duties.
Working Together to Safeguard Children — statutory duty to engage families ignored.
Social Work England Standards — integrity and professional judgement not maintained.
Bromley’s Family Law (14th ed.) — academic authority affirming stability, predictability, and parental participation.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not case management. It is bureaucratic dereliction.
We do not accept disorganisation as lawful practice.
We reject Westminster’s misuse of scheduling to obstruct participation.
We will continue to log and expose this incapacity until judicial correction is imposed.
Mirror Court Aphorism:
“Where the State cannot plan, it cannot protect. Disorder is not diligence — it is dereliction.”
