Summary: Formal equality complaint submitted to Westminster Children’s Services alleging racialised family discrimination, procedural disbelief, and breach of the Public Sector Equality Duty.
I. What Happened
An email, deceptively courteous, entered Westminster’s inbox like a velvet subpoena.
Authored by Polly Chromatic, it announced the obvious with judicial restraint: a white mother of mixed-heritage children has been policed as anomaly rather than parent.
Every act of advocacy recast as agitation; every medical disclosure treated as fiction; every silence interpreted as guilt.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That prejudice need not shout—it may clear its throat and call itself procedure.
• That “best practice” can become choreography for bias when its rhythm never changes.
• That the burden of proof shifts colour depending on who carries it.
• That institutional racism, when educated, writes in passive voice.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• Because politeness has become the camouflage of discrimination.
• Because the family file now doubles as a cultural autopsy.
• Because a complaint drafted in perfect grammar is still a scream.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Equality Act 2010 – ss. 13 (Direct Discrimination), 19 (Indirect Discrimination), 149 (PSED)
ECHR Arts. 8 & 14 – Family Life and Non-Discrimination
Macpherson Report (1999) – Definition of Institutional Racism
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not a request for kindness.
It is a footnote to history, filed in real time.
We do not accept that mixed-heritage families must prove their innocence in triplicate.
We reject bureaucratic blindness as defence.
We will continue to document until the Equality Duty learns to read its own name.
