Cross-borough complaint naming Westminster and RBKC Children’s Services for closing support after police involvement, escalating to PLO without lawful cause, and failing to accommodate disability. Anchored in medical evidence, legal citations, and procedural documentation.
I. What Happened
This is the complaint that draws the line.
After Westminster received a police report from Polly Chromatic citing disability discrimination, the borough promptly closed the CIN (Child in Need) plan — without request, milestone, or consultation. Days later, they initiated PLO escalation.
The facts:
Medical need for written-only contact was already documented
Psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Irfan Rafiq (26 Nov 2024) was on file
Contact attempts continued despite warnings of medical risk
Support was not withdrawn because it ended — it was revoked as punishment
The safeguarding system inverted: the harm now came from the state
This complaint formally names that inversion.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That support was conditionally provided — and withdrawn upon complaint
That CIN closure followed police reporting, not protective progress
That the safeguarding pathway was a compliance test — not a protective intervention
That contact formats were medically unsafe, and that written-only boundaries were repeatedly violated
That racial and cultural dimensions of social work practice were wholly ignored
III. Why SWANK Filed It
Because when an institution responds to medical evidence with coercion, it stops being a service. And when it escalates after being reported, it stops being a mistake — and starts being retaliation.
SWANK archived this complaint to:
Mark the exact point at which safeguarding stopped serving and started punishing
Show that PLO was not a reaction to risk — but a reaction to resistance
Provide regulatory and legal bodies with a single document that consolidates the harm
IV. Violations
Equality Act 2010
• Section 20: Denial of written-only adjustment
• Section 27: Victimisation following police complaint
• Section 149: Failure of public sector equality dutyChildren Act 1989 – Closure of support and emotional harm through safeguarding misuse
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 8: Family life

• Article 14: Discrimination based on disabilitySocial Work England Standards – Factual distortion, bias, coercion, and failure of honesty
UNCRPD – Right to accessible communication, freedom from state retaliation, and protection from systemic harm
V. SWANK’s Position
This complaint doesn’t just name a problem — it files the system as the risk. When you ask for support and receive surveillance, when you report harm and receive escalation, what you’re living through is not safeguarding. It’s institutional punishment — dressed up in paperwork.
SWANK London Ltd. demands:
Immediate independent review of all CIN closures following complaint
Recognition of written-only communication as a medical and legal right
Regulatory consequences for systemic discrimination and retaliation by public bodies
