Summary: Complaint documenting Westminster’s disregard for medical, privacy, and safety boundaries during unlawful or unannounced attendance at the family home, evidencing procedural recklessness cloaked as safeguarding.
I. What Happened
Westminster’s operatives arrived as if the front door were a formality, not a boundary.
They entered a medical environment uninvited, disregarding clinical precautions, parental instructions, and basic decorum.
The family’s safety and dignity — already compromised by chronic illness and disability-related distress — were treated as secondary to administrative impulse.
The event was not a “visit.” It was an intrusion written in the grammar of indifference.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That consent remains optional only to those unaccustomed to asking for it.
• That “safeguarding” has become Westminster’s euphemism for trespass in professional attire.
• That the Council’s agents mistook physical access for moral authority.
• That procedural arrogance can pose greater risk than the dangers it pretends to prevent.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• Because public servants cannot act as private security.
• Because families managing chronic illness are not open houses for bureaucratic anxiety.
• Because the legal definition of safeguarding includes protection from professionals.
• Because documentation civilises outrage.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Children Act 1989 — Section 17 (duty to promote welfare) and Section 47 (threshold for investigation, not licence for intrusion)
Equality Act 2010 — Sections 20–21 (reasonable adjustments for disability)
Human Rights Act 1998 — Article 8 (respect for private and family life)
Data Protection Act 2018 — unlawful processing of personal and medical context without necessity
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not safeguarding.
This is administrative trespass wearing a lanyard.
We do not accept unannounced entry as empathy.
We reject procedural voyeurism disguised as care.
We will document every threshold crossed without consent until Westminster learns that doors are juridical, not decorative.
