Summary: Westminster’s safeguarding regime continues to disregard the medical, statutory, and moral duty to prevent asthma exacerbations—revealing a culture that cannot tell the difference between care and cruelty.
I. What Happened
For years, the Local Authority has failed to implement a lawful asthma-prevention framework for all four children diagnosed with eosinophilic asthma, a rare and serious condition requiring strict environmental control and twice-daily peak-flow monitoring.
Instead of ensuring stability and safety, Westminster dismantled those medical routines, substituted conjecture for science, and accused the parent of “fictitious illness”—an accusation disproven by repeated clinical confirmation.
The result is a pattern of recurring respiratory distress, disrupted care continuity, and institutional negligence masquerading as safeguarding.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That the Local Authority has breached its duty to safeguard and promote welfare under the Children Act 1989.
• That the deliberate cessation of prescribed monitoring constitutes medical neglect by omission.
• That the failure to follow medical instruction represents foreseeable harm.
• That Westminster’s ignorance of chronic respiratory illness amounts to disability discrimination.
• That the substitution of bureaucratic opinion for medical evidence is now part of the evidentiary record.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To preserve medical and legal proof that safeguarding is being weaponised against clinical fact.
• To educate future policy makers that chronic illness is not theatre.
• To expose institutional aversion to prevention as a form of procedural cruelty.
• Because when a government forgets how to keep a child breathing, SWANK remembers.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Children Act 1989, s.22(3)(a) — Duty to safeguard and promote welfare of children in care.
• Health & Social Care Act 2012, s.12 — Duty to improve public health.
• Equality Act 2010, ss.6, 20, 149 — Failure to make reasonable adjustments; breach of Public-Sector Equality Duty.
• UNCRC Articles 3 & 24 — Best interests and right to the highest attainable standard of health.
• UNCRPD Articles 7 & 25 — Obligation to provide appropriate health services for children with disabilities.
• ECHR Articles 2 & 8 — Right to life; respect for family life.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not “miscommunication.”
This is respiratory negligence, executed with bureaucratic charm.
SWANK does not accept that ignorance of chronic illness absolves a duty of care.
We reject Westminster’s attempt to rebrand preventable medical harm as “safeguarding procedure.”
We document every breath withheld in the name of authority.
