Summary: Formal Fitness to Practise complaint submitted to Social Work England against Edward Kendall, social worker at Westminster Children’s Services, for professional misconduct, factual distortion, emotional negligence, and disability discrimination. This entry inaugurates the Professional Misconduct Series within the SWANK Legal Archive — an aesthetic tribunal for ethical collapse.
I. What Happened
On 21 May 2025, Polly Chromatic (legally Noelle Bonnee Annee Simlett) lodged a complaint with Social Work England’s Fitness to Practise Department, detailing the unethical and discriminatory conduct of Edward Kendall.
The complaint identified:
Procedural Misrepresentation – Kendall contributed false and misleading information to safeguarding and case reports, distorting facts about mental health, engagement, and parenting to justify unlawful PLO escalation.
Enabling Emotional Harm – Despite clear awareness of trauma inflicted by safeguarding interference, he failed to advocate or intervene, enabling psychological harm to the children.
Disability Discrimination – He repeatedly breached written-only communication adjustments confirmed by medical professionals, reframing compliance as “non-engagement.”
Each point was substantiated with witness statements, court filings, and corroborating documentation from medical and legal authorities.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That Edward Kendall breached Social Work England’s Professional Standards through distortion, negligence, and discriminatory misconduct.
• That his professional behaviour contributed directly to emotional harm, legal escalation, and data misrepresentation.
• That fitness to practise cannot coexist with deliberate factual manipulation or disregard for lawful disability accommodations.
• That in social work, cruelty is often procedural.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To formally preserve the record of misconduct that bridges social care, law, and medical retaliation.
• To establish a chain of jurisdictional accountability extending from Westminster to national regulatory oversight.
• To elevate complaint-writing to a form of jurisprudential choreography — where every paragraph is both testimony and architecture.
• Because silence protects systems; publication protects truth.
IV. Legal & Ethical Framework
Professional Standards – SWE (2021)
1.4 – Act with honesty and integrity.
2.1 – Communicate appropriately and respectfully.
3.4 – Maintain professional boundaries.
5.2 – Challenge and report poor practice.
Statutes Invoked
• Equality Act 2010, ss.15, 19, 20, 27 – discrimination and failure to provide reasonable adjustments.
• Children Act 1989, s.44 – misuse of safeguarding powers.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Arts. 6, 8, 14 – fair process, family life, and non-discrimination.
• Data Protection Act 2018, s.171 – accuracy and lawful processing.
V. SWANK’s Position
“Professional misconduct wears a badge, writes a report, and calls it safeguarding.”
SWANK London Ltd. holds that Edward Kendall exemplifies a national pathology: the social worker as bureaucratic aggressor, transforming parental disability into administrative ammunition.
The complaint is therefore both legal document and curatorial artefact — evidence not just of harm, but of the institutional aesthetic that enables it.
This letter does not request justice.
It records jurisdictional failure beautifully.
