Summary: Documents that social workers’ stance toward children has been hostile, controlling, and injurious rather than protective.
I. What Happened
• Social workers intervened in proceedings relating to the four U.S. citizen children of Polly Chromatic.
• Interventions consistently conveyed suspicion, hostility, and punitive control.
• Actions occurred during Local Authority case management and safeguarding oversight.
• The visible impact has been emotional harm, destabilisation, and increased stress for the children.
II. What the Document Establishes
• Procedural breaches – statutory duties under the Children Act 1989 were not observed.
• Evidentiary value – provides written record that interventions themselves caused harm.
• Educational significance – illustrates failure of safeguarding practice when trust is replaced with suspicion.
• Power imbalance – children’s autonomy suppressed; parental voice discredited.
• Structural pattern – demonstrates systemic inversion where safeguarding is weaponised.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• Legal relevance – breaches of statutory duty and human rights protections.
• Educational precedent – evidence that hostile safeguarding is institutionally corrosive.
• Historical preservation – formal record of how professionals harmed rather than protected.
• Pattern recognition – aligns with prior entries on distrust, retaliation, and misuse of safeguarding powers.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Children Act 1989, s.22(3) – duty to promote children’s welfare.
• Children Act 1989, s.1(3) – welfare checklist on emotional needs ignored.
• UNCRC, Articles 3 and 12 – best interests and right to be heard disregarded.
• ECHR, Articles 3, 6, and 8 – degrading treatment, fairness breaches, and interference with family life.
• Equality Act 2010, s.20 – disability adjustments denied.
• Bromley’s Family Law – misuse of non-cooperation condemned.
• Amos, Human Rights Law – proportionality and family participation required but absent.
• Re L (2007) and Re B (2013) – suspicion is not evidence; proportionality is mandatory.
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) – child-centred practice abandoned.
• Social Work England Professional Standards – wellbeing and integrity duties breached.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not safeguarding. This is institutional harm disguised as child protection.
• We do not accept suspicion as a lawful substitute for evidence.
• We reject hostility as a safeguarding method.
• We will document every instance where welfare law is inverted into harm.
