“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.

Summary: A formal Stage 2 complaint documenting safeguarding failures, disability discrimination, and unsuitable contact arrangements arising from supervised contact practice.

I. What Happened

On 9 January 2026, Polly Chromatic formally escalated a complaint to Stage 2 under the Local Authority complaints procedure, following unresolved concerns regarding supervised contact arrangements.

The complaint arose after:

  • a contact session on 31 December 2025,

  • a managerial response that failed to address safeguarding or equality duties,

  • and the continuation of arrangements producing visible emotional distress to the children and physical harm to a disabled parent.

The contact arrangements relied upon by Westminster Children’s Services, and delivered through HOPE Contact Centre, remained unchanged despite these outcomes.

II. What the Document Establishes

This document establishes, on the Local Authority’s own record:

  • Repeated emotional distress to children during rushed, disorganised contact endings

  • Failure to make reasonable adjustments for a known respiratory disability, resulting in a foreseeable asthma attack

  • Inappropriate reframing of disability impact as “parental choice” rather than Equality Act duty

  • Boundary failures, including personal medical commentary by contact staff

  • Continued reliance on contact arrangements producing harm, without review or modification

The record is contemporaneous, unedited, and procedural.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

SWANK logged this entry because it demonstrates a recurring institutional pattern:

  • “Safeguarding” invoked while welfare outcomes deteriorate

  • Equality duties acknowledged in principle and ignored in practice

  • Oversight substituted with deflection

  • Harm reframed as behaviour

This entry functions as:

  • evidentiary record,

  • pattern confirmation,

  • and policy failure exemplar.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 — failure to make reasonable adjustments; discriminatory practice

  • Children Act 1989 — welfare principle undermined by contact-related harm

  • Public Sector Equality Duty (s.149) — unmet

  • Safeguarding standards for supervised contact — compromised by staff anxiety, rushed transitions, and unmanaged adult stress

Where supervised contact becomes a source of harm, proportionality requires review. No such review occurred.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not parental non-compliance.
This is institutional insistence on arrangements that demonstrably fail.

Accordingly:

  • We do not accept the reframing of disability impact as “choice.”

  • We reject the normalisation of children’s distress as incidental.

  • We will document every instance where “support” produces harm and is allowed to continue unexamined.
