“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

In re: Chromatic (Assessments), On the Fiction of Cooperative Consent


🪞COOPERATION IS NOT CONSENT

In which the mother participates without surrender, and the State’s baseless referrals are politely declined through procedural contempt.

Filed: 4 August 2025

Reference Code: SWANK-AUP-2025-08

PDF Filename: 2025-08-04_SWANK_Addendum_AssessmentsUnderProtest.pdf

Summary: Mother agrees to assessments under protest, affirming that participation does not ratify the illegality, falsehoods, or retaliatory basis of the safeguarding regime.

I. What Happened

After the unlawful issuance of an Emergency Protection Order on 23 June 2025 — initiated on false medical grounds now discredited by NHS Resolution — the Local Authority has proposed psychiatric, parenting, and other assessments.

Polly Chromatic has responded with poised precision:

Yes, I will participate.
No, I do not accept your premise.

This is not acquiescence. This is calibrated objection wrapped in procedural grace.

II. What This Filing Establishes

  • The Mother remains willing to participate in assessments for the welfare of her children

  • That cooperation is issued strictly under protest and without prejudice to her legal position

  • The assessments are tainted at origin, being derived from:

    • A false intoxication allegation (St Thomas’ Hospital, disproven)

    • Procedural retaliation

    • Discriminatory assumptions based on disability, nationality, and lawful dissent

SWANK affirms that no State process may launder its own misconduct through the veneer of maternal politeness.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when the State constructs an assessment based on falsified scaffolding, it deserves not compliance but annotated critique.

Because politeness is not submission, and cooperation is not complicity.

Because disabled mothers are not waiting for diagnoses — they’re waiting for apologies.

And because, as Bromley’s Family Law reminds us:

“Where safeguarding mechanisms are invoked without lawful consent or substantiated risk, assessments serve no protective function. They perform coercion by process.” (p. 640)

IV. Violations and Legal Framework

  • Article 6 ECHR – Right to a fair and lawful process

  • Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life and bodily autonomy

  • Children Act 1989 – Paramountcy of welfare

  • Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination based on disability and nationality

  • Common law proportionality – State action must be justified, not speculative

V. SWANK’s Position

To assess a parent based on a lie is not protection. It is theatre.
To offer a test where no threshold has been met is not safeguarding. It is humiliation.
And to interpret willingness as concession is not law. It is institutional gaslighting.

We do not refuse the process.
We refuse its fictional authority.
