Position statement reasserting lawful contact rights and repudiating contrived allegations of refusal.
I. What Happened
Between 23 June and 1 July 2025, the applicant’s four U.S. citizen children were removed under an Interim Care Order. Despite repeated formal offers to engage in supervised contact compliant with safeguarding standards and disability accommodations, the local authority instead devised ad hoc arrangements lacking lawful notice, clarity, or basic procedural coherence. This statement was filed to document that no refusal of contact ever occurred—and that the procedural confusion was exclusively institutional in origin.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That the mother has demonstrated consistent, documented willingness to participate in lawful, supervised contact.
That offers of contact were constructed in a manner more reminiscent of ambush than due process.
That disability accommodations, consular protections, and medical continuity were again omitted from all proposals.
That the suggestion of parental non-engagement is a rhetorical flourish unsupported by any credible evidence.
That the institutional habit of rebranding procedural defect as parental hostility is a form of reputational laundering.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because clarity in the evidentiary record matters when institutions prefer innuendo to fact. Because the right to contact is not contingent upon deference to defective processes. Because any suggestion that contact has been refused must be archived—and contradicted—on the public record.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 (Section 34: Duty to promote and facilitate contact)
Article 8 ECHR (Right to family life—subjected to administrative erosion)
Equality Act 2010 (Failure to provide disability accommodations)
Vienna Convention (Consular rights of U.S. citizen children)
V. SWANK’s Position
This was not safeguarding. It was the orchestration of procedural confusion as a substitute for lawful engagement.
We do not accept the quiet normalisation of contact denial reframed as parental refusal.
We will document every occurrence—precise, immutable, and unimpressed.
