“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

Westminster as Masquerade: When Safeguarding Collapses into Reputation Management

Summary: Formal addendum recording Westminster’s reliance on Parliament as cover for safeguarding failures and retaliatory tactics.

I. What Happened

• Westminster’s Children’s Services invoked “Parliamentary accountability” as a rhetorical shield following repeated safeguarding missteps.
• The invocation was not attached to any meaningful Parliamentary process, scrutiny, or actual oversight.
• Instead, “Parliament” was name-dropped as an institutional deflection against individual misconduct and disproven allegations.

II. What the Document Establishes

• Parliament was misused as a reputational cloak, not an accountability mechanism.
• Demonstrates how safeguarding was subordinated to political theatre.
• Evidences the hollowing out of substantive child welfare protections.
• Proves a pattern of institutions appealing to authority rather than evidence.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• Legal relevance: misuse of Parliament as pretext for blocking scrutiny.
• Historical preservation: documents the precise moment Parliament was wielded as reputational wallpaper.
• Policy precedent: flags systemic confusion between accountability and deflection.
• Pattern recognition: links to earlier misuse of “medical authority” and “judicial process” as shields.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – Duty to safeguard and promote welfare of the child.
• Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life, not to be overridden by institutional vanity.
• Equality Act 2010 – Prohibition against discriminatory conduct disguised as procedure.
• Principle of Parliamentary Accountability – Invoked in name, violated in substance.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not Parliamentary accountability.
This is procedural ventriloquism.

We do not accept Parliament being weaponised as a stage curtain.
We reject the conflation of theatre with oversight.
We will document the collapse of safeguarding into spectacle.
