“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.

Chromatic v Kendall: On the Institutional Fury Triggered by a Mother Who Asked to Read First



⟡ “You Got Angry Because I Wanted to Read First” — The Home Visit That Was Actually a Trap ⟡
On the safeguarding fantasy of reviewing a life-altering document in five minutes, while your kids watch from the hallway

Summary: Westminster social worker Edward Kendall refused to explain “erratic behaviour” claims and became agitated when the mother wouldn’t review a surprise document in front of her children.


I. What Happened

On 17 April 2024, Edward Kendall from Westminster Children’s Services visited Polly Chromatic at home, ostensibly to go over her chronology of events — a history of social work harassment spanning a decade.

Instead of presenting new concerns, Kendall handed over a mystery document and expected Polly to review it on the spot, around her children, with no legal or support presence. When Polly asked to review it later in private, Kendall became visibly annoyed.

Polly then followed up by email, asking for clarification about the specific “erratic behaviour” at the hospital that had supposedly prompted police interest and social work involvement.

Kendall offered none.
Instead, he recycled vague, years-old allegations — refusing to answer questions, while escalating concerns she had already disproven in writing.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural sabotage: surprise documents presented without time, privacy, or explanation

  • Disregard for parental rights: attempts to manipulate a mother into signing/reacting in front of children

  • Emotional provocation used to build a false narrative of instability

  • Complete lack of due process: no explanation of allegations, no documentation provided, no justification for police involvement

  • Retaliatory dynamic: a visit prompted not by safeguarding need, but by the mother’s refusal to silently accept false claims


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a state official becomes angry at your desire to read before reacting, that’s not safeguarding — that’s coercion.

SWANK archives this to expose how retaliation often arrives with a clipboard and a frown, disguised as concern but rooted in control.

This wasn’t a visit. It was a test.
And the mother passed — by refusing to be intimidated.

We log this because their silence when asked for proof is louder than their allegations.
Because if you claim a mother is “erratic,” and can’t define why, it’s not a concern — it’s a smear.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to uphold respectful and lawful family engagement

  • Article 6, ECHR – Right to know the case against you

  • Article 8, ECHR – Right to family life

  • Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination through tone, assumption, and failure to accommodate medical conditions

  • Working Together to Safeguard Children – Breach of procedural transparency and ethical conduct


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t an assessment. It was a pressure tactic.
You don’t knock on a mother’s door with undefined accusations and expect compliance under duress.

We reject safeguarding theatre designed to manufacture instability.
We reject silent smears repackaged as legitimate concern.
We reject visits that are really just fishing expeditions — wrapped in social work lanyards and vague concern.

And we will document every time they show up angry — because a mother dared to read first.
