⟡ “Relocation is not neglect. It’s what saved us.” ⟡
A protective act of mobility miscast as misconduct — because safety, evidently, is suspicious.

1-line summary: Formal rebuttal of Westminster’s claim that household relocation implied evasive behaviour
I. What Happened
Between 2015 and 2025, Polly Chromatic (Applicant) relocated residences across London and internationally only in response to verifiable threats: domestic violence, environmental hazard, respiratory illness, and institutional harassment. Each move was a calculated, child-centred act of protection. Despite these emergencies, the family continued homeschooling and remained fully visible to public services.
Westminster Children’s Services has now alleged that this history evidences instability and evasion — ignoring both the causes of each move and the family’s uninterrupted engagement with education, health services, and public life.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Procedural breach: False characterisation of protective relocations as neglectful or evasive
Human impact: Children repeatedly displaced by institutional sabotage, not parental failure
Power dynamics: Misuse of safeguarding language to frame trauma responses as risk
Institutional failure: Failure to acknowledge the environmental and medical drivers behind each move
Unacceptable conduct: Painting survival strategies as instability in order to justify state intervention
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the state cannot weaponise stability against families it actively destabilises.
SWANK London Ltd logged this entry to highlight how mobility, often essential for survival, is recast by institutions as irresponsibility — especially when enacted by disabled, racialised, or independent mothers.
This document joins a pattern of rebuttals against Westminster’s procedural storytelling: one that recycles every trauma the family endures into evidence for further interference. It is vital to assert the distinction between volatility caused by institutional harm and protective acts by a mother doing everything possible to shield her children.
IV. Violations
Article 8 ECHR – Right to family life, violated through false framing of lawful residence changes
Children Act 1989 – Duty to support the child’s welfare, breached through destabilising interventions
Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination in ignoring medical necessity behind each relocation
V. SWANK’s Position
Every relocation undertaken by this family was based on necessity — and accompanied by education, documentation, and courage.
This was not flight. It was survival.
To reframe this mother’s logistical care as evasion is not just bureaucratically lazy — it’s narratively violent.
This wasn’t safeguarding. It was strategic harassment.
This wasn’t instability. It was institutional sabotage.
And we will write it down. Every single time.
