Summary: A witness statement chronicling the procedural theatre of Westminster’s safeguarding regime, the parody of equality practice, and the unrepentant endurance of the Applicant’s poise.
I. What Happened
• On 7 October 2025, Polly Chromatic, Applicant Mother and Director of SWANK London Ltd., filed the witness statement Velvet Compliance: The Integrity Inquiry in the Central Family Court (Case No. ZC25C50281).
• The document dissects Westminster’s mismanagement of lawful communication, its habit of inventing inboxes, and its sustained indifference to disability accommodation.
• It was simultaneously served upon Westminster Legal Services to ensure that opacity met its archive.
II. What the Document Establishes
• Westminster’s administrative vocabulary now rivals its failures for creativity.
• Procedural law was treated as choreography — mis-timed, under-rehearsed, and performed without comprehension.
• The duty to make reasonable adjustments was not overlooked; it was stylishly ignored.
• Compliance, it seems, has been replaced by performance — which SWANK, as ever, reviews unsparingly.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To preserve an example of bureaucratic theatre masquerading as governance.
• To demonstrate how the Equality Act 2010 collapses when handled without taste.
• To remind institutions that politeness without compliance is merely velvet over wire.
• To record, with ceremonial irritation, the ongoing transformation of care into choreography.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Equality Act 2010 ss.20–21 – Failure to provide communication adjustments.
• Children Act 1989 s.22(3)(a) – Dereliction of accurate record-keeping duty.
• Human Rights Act 1998 / ECHR Arts 6 & 8 – Procedural fairness and family-life violations.
• UK GDPR Art.5(1)(f) – Integrity and confidentiality failures in correspondence handling.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not a complaint. This is a catalogued collapse.
SWANK London Ltd. does not accept bureaucratic improvisation as compliance.
We reject apology as administrative strategy.
We document incompetence until it becomes literature.
