Don’t Record Us Breaking the Rules — That’s Harassment

⟡ “You Filmed Us Breaking the Rules — So Now We’re Threatening You for Filming” ⟡
When the safeguarding process is exposed, Westminster responds not with correction — but with coercion.

Email from Deputy Service Manager Sam Brown threatening procedural consequences for lawful evidence-gathering, re-framing documentation as harassment and ignoring statutory communication adjustments.

I. What Happened

On 23 April 2025, Sam Brown — a new figurehead in Westminster’s safeguarding theatre — sent this email in response to ongoing written complaints and evidentiary submissions from Polly Chromatic. Rather than address any of the claims made, he chose to:

Recast written-only communication (a medical necessity) as disruptive
Assert that recording social workers is potentially illegal or intimidating
Imply that the parent’s efforts to document harassment could lead to consequences
Reiterate participation in the Public Law Outline (PLO) process as required — while still misrepresenting its legal basis
Impose arbitrary boundaries on when and how the parent may raise concerns

This letter is not a response. It is a warning dressed as a welcome.

II. What the Document Establishes

Westminster is aware they are being recorded — and they do not like it
The local authority treats written communication from disabled residents as hostile
Officials are now openly retaliating against legal and procedural accountability
The PLO process is being used as a disciplinary mechanism, not a protective one
The council’s own documentation is more incriminating than the evidence being submitted

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the moment where politeness ends and procedure is used to silence, not to serve. SWANK archived this letter to demonstrate how Westminster has transitioned from concealment to active threat — now targeting lawful communication, video evidence, and disabled autonomy.

SWANK filed this to:

Show how the authority has reframed transparency as aggression
Highlight retaliatory use of safeguarding frameworks in response to complaint
Build a public record of institutional conduct designed to avoid scrutiny at all costs

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 20, 27 (disability discrimination, failure to adjust, victimisation)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (fair process), Article 10 (freedom of expression)
Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm caused by procedural misconduct
UK GDPR – Inaccuracy and suppression of individual data rights
Social Work England Standards – Misuse of authority, intimidation, and refusal to engage in ethical communication

V. SWANK’s Position

When a council begins to punish you for documenting their behaviour, you are not being protected. You are being managed. When they refuse to respond unless it's on their terms — even in the face of trauma, medical evidence, and human rights law — you are no longer in a safeguarding process. You are in a cover-up.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

Immediate retraction of implied legal threats against lawful evidence-gathering
Public clarification of the legal status of recordings taken in safeguarding contexts
Regulatory investigation into Sam Brown’s communications and procedural conduct

When Offered a Witness, Westminster Chose Violence

⟡ “You Could Have Asked the Caretaker — But You Chose Escalation Instead” ⟡
An invitation to verify wellbeing through ordinary means, declined in favour of statutory force.

Email from Polly Chromatic to Westminster Children’s Services suggesting that the building caretaker — Krystyna — could confirm family wellbeing. Ignored in favour of continued statutory hostility.

I. What Happened

On 28 April 2025, Polly Chromatic wrote to Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, offering a simple and obvious alternative to invasive PLO escalation: ask the building caretaker.

The message explained that:

The caretaker sees the family daily
She has observed nothing of concern
The social workers could verify this at any time
Written communication and respectful boundaries were being maintained
No hostility or secrecy existed — only lawful medical boundaries

It was a calm, cooperative offer. It was met with silence.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Westminster had peaceful, low-impact, third-party options to verify wellbeing
The parent proactively offered access to local non-family witnesses
Escalation via PLO was not necessity — it was choice
The “safeguarding risk” narrative is undermined by parent-led transparency
The refusal to accept this offer demonstrates procedural bias, not protection

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This email reveals a profound truth: Westminster never wanted verification — they wanted submission. When a parent invites outside confirmation and the authority declines, the goal is no longer child protection. It’s coercion.

SWANK archived this document to:

Prove that alternative verification routes were offered and refused
Undermine Westminster’s claim that formal intervention was necessary
Preserve written evidence of institutional inflexibility and bad faith

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 – Failure to exercise least intrusive measures
Equality Act 2010 – Escalation in retaliation for disability-related adjustments
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)
Social Work England Standards – Failure to explore non-statutory options
Working Together 2018 – Ignoring available local sources of safeguarding support

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t escalate to PLO when a neighbour is available. You don’t invoke safeguarding while ignoring the very people who can confirm the children are thriving. You only do that when your real goal is institutional dominance — not child protection.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

A full review of why third-party verification was dismissed in this case
A written apology for misrepresenting the family as uncooperative
A procedural mandate that external non-statutory verification must be considered before formal escalation

They Called It Isolation. I Call It Survival.

Formal rebuttal to Westminster’s PLO claims, written by Polly Chromatic, documenting reputational destruction, forced isolation, and the procedural invention of safeguarding risks through state pressure.

I. What Happened

On 18 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted this letter in response to Westminster’s attempt to frame her family as vulnerable to social withdrawal. The irony? The only reason they were “isolated” is because Westminster isolated them.

The letter documents:

Loss of community due to stigma from schools, NHS staff, and institutional surveillance
Disengagement from educational and social spaces because of repeated harm — not neglect
The emotional and reputational cost of enduring unrelenting state intrusion
Clear evidence that children were excluded socially by association with systemic targeting
A reminder that none of this occurred before social workers got involved

II. What the Complaint Establishes

“Isolation” was state-created, not parent-initiated
Reputational harm has direct safeguarding consequences — and Westminster caused it
Ongoing statutory intrusion undermines child confidence, emotional safety, and access to community
Disability, cultural difference, and institutional trauma were never considered in PLO reasoning
The safeguarding claim is a self-fulfilling prophecy manufactured by the council itself

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This letter is a thesis on institutional harm disguised as protection. SWANK archived it not just as evidence — but as language reclamation. When local authorities label their own damage as your danger, the only response is documentation with precision and style.

SWANK filed this document to:

Establish the emotional, social, and reputational cost of prolonged institutional interference
Expose how public bodies create and then weaponise trauma in the name of safeguarding
Provide legal counterweight to claims of “withdrawal,” “non-engagement,” or “parental concern”

IV. Violations

Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (right to private and family life), Article 14 (discrimination)
Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 19, and 27 (disability discrimination, victimisation)
Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm due to professional conduct
UNCRC – Article 12 (right to be heard), Article 16 (protection from interference), Article 23 (disabled parent support)
Social Work England Standards – Reputational harm, systemic bias, and trauma creation

V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster cannot accuse a parent of social disengagement after systematically ensuring there is no society left to engage with. This letter is archived as a cautionary monument: safeguarding that silences, isolates, and harms is not safeguarding. It is persecution.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

Full public investigation of how social work conduct contributes to familial breakdown
Retraction of all statements referring to “parental disengagement”
Public acknowledgment that state intrusion — not parenting — caused the fracture

Support Was Conditional — And the Condition Was Silence

⟡ “They Didn’t Withdraw Support Because I Was Unsafe — They Withdrew Support Because I Reported Them”⟡
A formal complaint filed to Westminster and RBKC documenting how safeguarding services became retaliatory, discriminatory, and medically unsafe — not due to parental harm, but institutional exposure.

Filed: 15 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC-RBKC/FCS-02
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-15_SWANK_Complaint_WestminsterRBKC_DisabilityRetaliation_FormalServiceFailure.pdf
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 duty
Children Act 1989 – Closure of support and emotional harm through safeguarding misuse
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 8: Family life
• Article 6: Fair process
• Article 14: Discrimination based on disability
Social 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

This Is the Day the Social Worker Became the Suspect.

⟡ “I Told the Police She Was Abusing Her Power. I Filed It As a Crime.” ⟡
A written submission to the Metropolitan Police naming Westminster safeguarding officer Kirsty Hornal as the agent of coercion, disability harassment, and safeguarding misuse. This wasn’t a misunderstanding. It was a pattern. And now, it’s on record.

Filed: 15 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/MPS/KH-CRIM-02
📎 Download PDF – 2025-02-15_SWANK_PoliceReport_KirstyHornal_ProceduralMisconduct_DisabilityAbuse_CriminalFiling.pdf
Formal complaint submitted to the Metropolitan Police (Ref: BCA-10622-25-0101-IR), alleging misconduct by Kirsty Hornal of Westminster City Council. Accusations include disability discrimination, coercion under the guise of safeguarding, and psychological harm. Medical diagnoses disclosed. Pattern documented. Crime reported.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic filed a police report.
Not a complaint. Not a concern.
A formal, timestamped, criminal allegation — with:

A named suspect: Kirsty Hornal
A pattern of coercive conduct mislabelled as “support”
Verbal pressure applied despite diagnosed muscle dysphonia and eosinophilic asthma
A timeline of escalating harm, home intrusion, and procedural deception
A legal explanation of how “voluntary” safeguarding was used as leverage against a disabled person

This wasn’t metaphorical harm. It was physical, medical, and documented under criminal reference.

II. What the Report Establishes

That the state’s behaviour was not therapeutic — it was coercive
That verbal contact was used against a known disability
That emotional distress was a product of deliberate procedural strategy
That Westminster staff knew about the medical conditions — and leveraged them
That the parent was forced to report her own support service as a source of harm

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because disability is not a flaw to be managed — it’s a legal status that demands protection.
Because safeguarding is not above the law.
And because this was the moment the State went from negligent to accused.

SWANK archived this because:

It is a written, police-confirmed turning point
It proves that the harm was not just witnessed — it was reported
It memorialises the fact that the safeguarding officer became the suspect
It begins the record not of concern — but of criminal culpability

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 –
• Section 20: Reasonable adjustment denied
• Section 26: Harassment via repeated verbal pressure
• Section 27: Retaliation post-complaint
• Section 149: Duty to prevent discrimination not met
Protection from Harassment Act 1997 –
• Coercive pattern of communication after boundaries were legally set
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 3: Inhuman treatment via sustained psychological coercion
• Article 8: Violation of family life and privacy
• Article 14: Discrimination by procedural pathway
Children Act 1989 –
• Institutional disruption to home life under false pretext
Social Work England Misconduct Framework –
• Failure to respect disability, legal boundaries, and safe practice

V. SWANK’s Position

When a safeguarding officer causes the harm she was sent to prevent — and uses disability to do it — she stops being a professional. She becomes a perpetrator. And when the parent files a police report and the state keeps sending her anyway, the issue isn’t care. It’s institutional complicity.

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this document as a criminal declaration of procedural abuse — filed to the police, named by statute, archived in full.

This Is the Document They’ll Pretend They Never Received.

⟡ “I Called the Police. I Named the Social Worker. I Filed It as a Crime.” ⟡
A formal police report submitted against Kirsty Hornal of Westminster Children’s Services for coercive behaviour, ableist harassment, and the weaponisation of safeguarding against a disabled parent. Not safeguarding. Not support. Now officially misconduct — logged as criminal.

A police complaint submitted to the Metropolitan Police under reference number BCA-10622-25-0101-IR, documenting coercion, disability discrimination, and prolonged abuse of power by Westminster officer Kirsty Hornal. Criminal complaint lodged. Support requested. Evidence confirmed.

I. What Happened

On 15 February 2025, Polly Chromatic stopped submitting letters to the council and started filing reports with the police.

The complaint detailed:

Years of procedural harassment framed as “safeguarding”
Medical diagnoses including eosinophilic asthma, muscle dysphonia, and PTSD
A social worker repeatedly ignoring lawful boundaries and clinical evidence
Coercion via visit attempts, pressure to speak despite disability, and escalation after complaint
Refusal of reasonable adjustment
Emotional trauma, home disruption, and fear of targeted retaliation

The report was clear. The suspect was named. The safeguarding fiction was reclassified as abuse.

II. What the Report Establishes

That Westminster’s conduct moved beyond misconduct — into criminal liability
That verbal disability was exploited as a pretext for escalation
That contact persisted after legal withdrawal of consent
That the parent was forced to act not as a participant — but as a whistleblower
That the Metropolitan Police received the evidence, the history, and the suspect’s name — all in writing

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when a safeguarding officer is accused of endangering the person they were assigned to support — and that person is disabled — it’s not oversight. It’s state-backed oppression. And when the council ignores it, the archive doesn’t.

SWANK filed this because:

It’s a landmark moment in the procedural collapse of WCC safeguarding
It shows that internal remedies were exhausted — and formal complaint was criminally escalated
It marks the transition from policy failure to potential prosecution

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 –
• Section 20: Refusal of adjustment
• Section 26: Harassment
• Section 27: Victimisation after complaint
• Section 149: Public sector equality duty breached
Protection from Harassment Act 1997 – Coercive contact after lawful refusal
Human Rights Act 1998 –
• Article 3: Degrading treatment
• Article 8: Home and family life invasion
• Article 14: Discrimination via state process
Children Act 1989 – Procedural weaponisation causing emotional harm to family
Social Work England Standards – Now submitted to police for further investigation

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to call it safeguarding when your presence causes trauma, triggers symptoms, and violates medical boundaries. You don’t get to call it concern when the parent files a police report with your name on it. And you don’t get to call it “misunderstanding” when the allegations fit multiple statutes and a criminal code.

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this file as the procedural tipping point — when disability discrimination, harassment, and administrative cruelty moved into the jurisdiction of the criminal law.

Eosinophilic Asthma Is Not Invisible. You Just Refused to Look.

⟡ SWANK Medical Archive: Chronic Misrecognition Series ⟡

“They Called It Mild. We Filed It as Disabling.”
Filed: 21 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/MEDICAL/EA/LEGAL-CRITIQUE
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-21_SWANK_Critique_EosinophilicAsthma_DisabilityFunctioning_LegalFramework.pdf

I. It Was Never About Wheezing. It Was Always About Function.

This formal critique, dated 21 April 2025, evaluates current medical literature on Eosinophilic Asthma (EA) — and finds it intellectually lacking, legally negligent, and structurally dismissive.

Where is the functional analysis?
Where is the psychosocial disruption?
Where is the recognition that airflow obstruction is a disability when it disables?

It is not that the literature failed to diagnose.

It failed to ask the right questions.

II. What the Critique Establishes

That EA research routinely:
- Underplays severity in non-hospitalised cases
- Frames episodic respiratory failure as inconvenient rather than incapacitating
- Fails to apply legal tests of substantial and long-term impairment
That disability under the Equality Act 2010 is:
- Not defined by diagnostic frequency
- But by real-world functional impact — missed school, missed court, missed care
That literature:
- Ignores single-parent data
- Fails to disaggregate by gender, race, or trauma
- Omits voice-disabled patients from its communications data sets entirely

This is not just oversight.

It is academic misrecognition with real-world cost.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because EA has been weaponised against its sufferers — by being trivialised.
Because every failure to document disability is a failure of protection under law.
Because if no one names the gap, the tribunal hears silence.

We filed this because:

The academic field sanitised EA into “mild”
Public institutions mirrored that fiction into denial of adjustments
And SWANK exists to rupture that polite diagnostic fantasy

Let the record show:

The diagnosis was real
The harm was recurring
The papers were silent
And SWANK — annotated every omission

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept literature that excludes the functionally disabled to protect its clinical elegance.
We do not tolerate the absence of trauma, poverty, and gender in research about a disease that suffocates in silence.
We do not read your papers.

We audit them.

Let the record show:

The law defines disability.
You forgot to cite it.
And we — didn’t.

This wasn’t a paper.
It was a refusal to see disability — and now it’s in the archive, titled accordingly.

Addendum Filed. Because the Harm Didn’t Stop After the Claim.

I. A Witness Statement Was Filed. They Continued Anyway.

This document is not a courtesy.
It is a formal update and procedural escalation submitted to the County Court Money Claims Centre at St Katharine’s House, London — addressed to those who either failed to respond to the harm or continued inflicting it despite pending litigation.

The original witness statement was dated 5 May 2025.
The events necessitating this addendum occurred immediately after.

They read the claim.

And responded with more breach.

II. What the Addendum Records

New instances of verbal contact forced, despite clinical adjustments on record
Email and phone contact attempts made in breach of:
- N1 claim protections
- The Equality Act 2010
- Prior police reports and regulatory filings
Formal reassertion of:
- The legal basis for written-only communication
- The psychiatric and respiratory risk created by unsolicited contact
Request for acknowledgment and accommodation by the court itself

This wasn’t a supplemental filing.

It was a warning: continued breach has been logged.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because witness statements don’t expire just because the system pretends not to read them.
Because when public bodies continue to harm after litigation is filed, they’re not negligent — they’re calculated.

We filed this because:

The retaliation was escalated post-claim
The adjustments were still ignored
The County Court had to be told — plainly, and in writing

Let the record show:

The harm continued
The complaint expanded
The statement evolved
And the archive — caught it all

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not file claims for sport.
We do not submit witness statements as emotional gestures.
We do not tolerate retaliation continuing under the nose of a pending case.

Let the record show:

The court was informed.
The breaches were recent.
The witnesses are still harmed.
And SWANK — keeps the timeline intact.

This wasn’t an update.
It was a notification of persistence — and of legal contempt made public.

We Asked to Reschedule. They Treated It Like Consent.

⟡ “We’re Sick, I Can’t Speak, and You’re Still Coming?” ⟡
“It’s not just harassment if I have to reschedule it myself.”

Filed: 24 September 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAILS-06
📎 Download PDF – 2024-09-24_SWANK_EmailRequest_WCC_RescheduleVisit_DisabilityHealthCrisis.pdf
Email requesting the rescheduling of a child protection visit due to active illness and respiratory disability. Westminster proceeded regardless.

I. What Happened

On 24 September 2024, the parent submitted a written request to Westminster Children’s Services asking for a planned visit to be rescheduled due to:

An ongoing viral illness affecting the entire household
A well-documented respiratory disability impacting the parent's ability to speak
The continued arrival of new, unauthorised individuals in the home without consent

The tone was civil. The legal grounds were clear. The request was made in writing.

It was ignored.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster received a lawful request for written communication and visit rescheduling under medical duress
That they had already been made aware of the parent’s verbal disability — and proceeded to demand in-person interaction
That strangers continued to be sent into the home despite a formal objection
That illness, trauma, and relocation were treated as inconveniences — not as grounds for pause
That this was not a missed procedural step. It was enforcement by attrition.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you have to reschedule your own safeguarding visit due to illness, and they show up anyway —
that’s not support. It’s escalation.

Because when you explain that you cannot speak due to a documented medical condition, and they continue showing up unannounced —
that’s not oversight. It’s harassment.

And when you write it all down, politely, and it’s still ignored —
you stop asking for accommodation.
You start filing records.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
Failure to implement reasonable adjustments for a known verbal and respiratory disability
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Procedural refusal to reschedule safeguarding visits during a medical crisis
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
Unlawful interference with private and family life during illness
Care Act 2014 (Statutory Guidance)
Failure to respect a disabled parent’s expressed limits in light of documented vulnerability

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t just procedural overreach.
It was targeted persistence.

We didn’t say no.
We said: “We are sick. Please come later.”

You came anyway.

So now we say:
This wasn’t protection. It was refusal to disengage.
And now — it’s evidence.

Author: Polly Chromatic

I. This Is Where the Letters Stop and the Law Begins

This document marks the final written enforcement action against Westminster Children’s Services, issued by SWANK London Ltd. on 24 May 2025.

It is not advisory.
It is not optional.
It is statutorily underwritten, procedurally inviolable, and archived for judicial scrutiny.

The letter outlines a multi-pronged demand under the following statutes:

Equality Act 2010
Human Rights Act 1998
Children Act 1989
Data Protection Act 2018

And it does so with no euphemism, no deference, and no room to pretend confusion.

II. What the Demand Covers

The absence of a declared threshold of harm
Lack of legal justification for intrusion under Article 8
No stated assessment type or statutory process in place
Ongoing refusal to adhere to disability adjustments
Threats of supervision action based on procedural voids
Failure to acknowledge active proceedings:
- Judicial Review (N461)
- Injunction Request (N16A)
- Civil Damages Claim (N1)
- Subject Access Request
- Regulatory complaints (SWE, IOPC, GMC)

This letter didn’t escalate a concern.
It exposed an already-existing collapse of legal compliance.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because institutions that persist in harm after being notified must be served not with another reminder — but with a legal reckoning.
Because a disability adjustment is not a suggestion.
Because “we are concerned” is not a defence when you are breaching five acts of Parliament.

We filed this because:

Westminster ignored every legal document preceding this one
The silence is not innocent — it is coordinated containment
The failure to state their legal footing is no longer an oversight — it is a confession

Let the record show:

They had fair warning.
They had every opportunity.
They had every statute spelled out.
And now — they have been formally served.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept safeguarding departments acting without legal threshold.
We do not accept unlawful communication with medically exempt parents.
We do not accept that procedural abuse may continue because it is written in a pleasant tone.

Let the record show:

This letter was sent.
This archive is live.
This file is admissible.
And SWANK — is no longer waiting for a reply.

This wasn’t escalation.
It was closure, enforced by law and preserved by file.

Metropolitan Police report submitted against social worker Kirsty Hornal citing coercive control, medical negligence, and record falsification.

I. What Happened

On 16 April 2025, a formal police report was submitted by a disabled parent against Kirsty Hornal, a senior social worker at Westminster Children’s Services.

The report details a pattern of:

Coercive control
Procedural retaliation following complaints
Forced verbal interaction despite known respiratory disability
Misuse and falsification of records to justify unnecessary safeguarding escalation
Negligent exposure to harm during periods of illness, including after a sewer gas leak

The time frame covers 1 May 2024 to 16 April 2025 — a full year of systemic disregard, culminating in an unlawful PLO threat delivered shortly after this complaint was made.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Kirsty Hornal used her position to retaliate against a parent who asserted legal boundaries
That medical evidence was routinely dismissed or used manipulatively
That home visits were conducted during illness, despite being medically harmful
That procedural steps were taken after a police report — not before
That Westminster leveraged escalation to neutralise legal exposure, not to protect children

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a social worker is reported to police, and the only institutional response is escalation, we are no longer dealing with child protection — we are documenting institutional retaliation.

This report was filed not because of a single action, but because of an organised pattern:

Ignoring medical limitations
Misrepresenting facts in records
Exerting pressure while claiming “voluntariness”
Retaliating after a complaint
Escalating to PLO after a police report

This is not frontline error.
This is administrative coercion in slow motion.

IV. Violations

Serious Misconduct – Police Referral (Single Online Home)
Submitted under risk to life, health, and liberty
Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
Repeated breach of reasonable adjustments (respiratory disability)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6, 8, 14
Discrimination, interference with private life, denial of justice
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Safeguarding law used in bad faith after retaliation
Protection from Harassment Act 1997
Pattern of unwanted contact after lawful refusal

V. SWANK’s Position

This was not an oversight.
This was retaliation wrapped in a visit.

This was not safeguarding.
This was state coercion weaponised against disability.

When complaints are followed by PLO letters —
When disability is met with surveillance —
When records are edited but reality is not —

We document. You escalate.
We archive. You deny.
We file. And now, we publish.

She Was Discharged. I Collapsed. You Said Nothing.

⟡ She Got the Medication. I Lost My Breath. You Logged Neither. ⟡
“I sent you the treatment notes. I was the one who stopped breathing.”

Final update sent to Westminster Children’s Services confirming Honor’s hospital discharge plan and reporting parental collapse following the visit — untreated, unacknowledged, and ignored.

I. What Happened

On the evening of 21 November 2024, after securing Heir’s emergency care, the parent:

Sent a summary of discharge notes, including medication names and doses
Reiterated that Heir was now on prescribed antibiotics following respiratory crisis
Confirmed that the parent herself had collapsed shortly after returning home, due to respiratory exhaustion and stress
Stated clearly that the family had complied with all medical instructions
Received no meaningful response — only escalating safeguarding suspicion

This email was not a request.
It was a declaration of reality — one that Westminster refused to acknowledge.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Heir’s condition had been formally addressed by medical professionals
That parental illness and medical collapse were clearly reported in writing
That social services provided no check-in, no support, and no procedural response
That this silence was not oversight — it was policy
That survival was treated as defiance

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you’ve completed the treatment,
documented every dose,
and reported your collapse —
and they still escalate against you —
that’s not risk management.
That’s targeted neglect.

Because they want the appearance of concern,
not the burden of accountability.

And because this time, it wasn’t just your daughter who needed medical attention —
it was you.
And they looked the other way.

So now we’ve looked back —
and filed it.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 / 2004
Refusal to acknowledge or support a carer after crisis response
Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
Written-only adjustment ignored even during acute respiratory illness
Care Act 2014 – Carer Recognition Duty
No action taken after collapse was formally reported
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
Degrading treatment through institutional silence

V. SWANK’s Position

We didn’t need intervention.
We needed oxygen.

We didn’t refuse support.
We just didn’t beg for it.

This wasn’t neglect on our part.
It was silence on yours.

And now, that silence is documented —
and timestamped.

I Couldn’t Speak. You Called It Silence.

⟡ You Watched Me Collapse in Real Time. Then Asked for Updates. ⟡
“I was gasping. You were silent. And then you asked if I’d followed up.”

📎 Download PDF – 2024-12-14_SWANK_EmailStatement_WCC_HospitalAbandonment_DisabilityDismissal_CrisisCommunication.pdf
Personal email to Westminster Children’s Services describing exhaustion, unacknowledged communication barriers, and failure to coordinate with NHS providers during ongoing medical crises.

I. What Happened

On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a written statement to Westminster Children’s Services after weeks of institutional disengagement and safeguarding interference.

The message included:

Confirmation that the parent was physically unwell and emotionally drained
Reference to a total lack of response or coordination from WCC during repeated hospital visits
Frustration that she was expected to follow up with doctors — after having already done so in writing
A reminder that she was medically exempt from verbal communication and had provided documentation repeatedly
A sense of procedural gaslighting: “I was dying. You didn’t notice.”

The message was not a request for contact. It was a notification of harm.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster failed to respond to multiple written medical updates
That disability adjustments were again ignored, even while the parent was visibly unwell
That the burden of coordination was placed entirely on a disabled parent under stress
That safeguarding oversight occurred without support, acknowledgment, or collaboration
That the system’s silence was not benign — it was erasure

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a disabled mother is gasping for air,
and the system asks why she hasn’t followed up,
that’s not just failure —
that’s institutional mockery.

Because when they expect updates from the person they refused to accommodate,
you’re not seeing a lack of care.
You’re seeing the strategy of plausible deniability.

And because when no one replies,
the archive does.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
Failure to honour written-only communication adjustment
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 3 and 8
Psychological and physical distress exacerbated by institutional silence
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Refusal to engage in active safeguarding coordination with NHS teams
Care Act 2014 – Communication Duty
Failure to communicate during active medical risk scenarios

V. SWANK’s Position

We did follow up.
You just didn’t read it.

We did escalate.
You just didn’t respond.

This wasn’t neglect.
It was willful silence.

So we sent one last email —
and now, we’ve filed it.

You Asked Me to Speak. I Sent You a Police Report Instead.

“Verbal harm was noted. Written refusal was issued. The police were informed.”

📎 Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_EmailNotice_WCC_VerbalExemption_AsthmaAggravation_PoliceReportPolicy.pdf
Formal notification to Westminster Children’s Services reaffirming lawful verbal exemption due to disability, documenting medical harm from speech, and confirming police reporting strategy for institutional abuse.

I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, after repeated attempts by Westminster social workers to coerce verbal explanations during a period of respiratory illness, the parent issued a written notice to:

Sarah Newman
Kirsty Hornal
Fiona Dias-Saxena

The email:

Reiterated that verbal explanations had been refused for documented clinical reasons
Confirmed that verbal interaction causes harm and constitutes disability discrimination
Provided a legal basis for written-only protocol
Announced that police reports were being filed to document continued coercion and institutional hostility

This was not a clarification.
It was a legal position.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster was repeatedly notified of the parent’s lawful verbal exemption
That social workers continued to pressure her to “explain” herself orally
That doing so aggravated asthma symptoms and psychiatric trauma
That the parent issued a clear warning that police were being informed of this pattern
That this was not miscommunication — it was systemic pressure with foreseeable medical consequences

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when you’re medically unable to speak,
and they demand that you do,
you’re not in a child welfare process — you’re in an interrogation.

Because when you’re punished for complying with your doctor’s orders,
you’re not refusing support —
you’re protecting your lungs.

And because when they keep asking for a conversation,
and you keep giving them documentation —
eventually, you stop replying to them.
And start replying to the court.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 and Section 27
Failure to accommodate and retaliatory escalation following disability assertion
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
Inhumane treatment through psychological and physiological aggravation
Children Act 1989 / 2004
Undermining care by targeting a carer’s health during a known crisis
Data Protection Act 2018 – Processing Without Consent
Repeated verbal pressure during a declared communication adjustment

V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t need more explanations.
You need to read what’s already on file.

You don’t need a phone call.
You need a solicitor.

This wasn’t a breakdown in communication.
It was a refusal to honour the one already agreed.

And now, the refusal is mutual —
but ours is archived.

We Asked for Help with Sewer Gas. You Threatened Removal. Now We’re Litigating.

⟡ We Were Sick. You Watched. Now We're Filing. ⟡
“The children were coughing from sewer gas. You asked about bedtime instead.”

Filed: 14 December 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAILS-16
📎 Download PDF – 2024-12-14_SWANK_EmailStatement_WCC_NeglectSewerGasAbuse_LegalActionDeclared.pdf
A formal statement of lived harm, institutional denial, and declared legal action sent to Westminster Children’s Services following months of ignored illness and retaliatory safeguarding.

I. What Happened

On 14 December 2024, the parent sent a conclusive statement to Westminster Children’s Services, referencing:

Prolonged sewer gas exposure in the family home
Ongoing respiratory distress, infections, and institutional abandonment
Threats of section 47s, removals, and child protection measures in place of support
Her refusal to accept the narrative of safeguarding, instead confirming active legal action
The toll of surveillance, false concern, and the use of bureaucratic power to erase responsibility

The message is part summary, part indictment — and entirely evidentiary.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster had been repeatedly informed of medical and environmental danger and failed to intervene
That the home remained toxic and uninspected, while social workers threatened removals
That the parent was subjected to escalating distress while her children became ill
That the email functions not as a request for remedy — but as notice of claim
That systemic indifference crossed into psychological violence and environmental abuse

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when your family is coughing from toxic gas and all they offer is surveillance,
you’re not receiving safeguarding —
you’re surviving it.

Because when illness is ignored but parenting is questioned,
you’re not being protected. You’re being positioned.

And when you write to say “I’m suing you,”
you’ve already tried everything else.

This wasn’t a breakdown.
It was a record.
And now, it’s public.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989 / 2004
Failure to ensure child welfare in a hazardous home environment
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 3 and 8
Inhuman treatment via neglect, interference with private life under state surveillance
Public Sector Equality Duty
Systemic disregard of medically disabled parent and her environment
Environmental Protection Act 1990
Neglect of sewer gas exposure constituting health hazard
Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 and 27
Failure to accommodate disability and retaliatory safeguarding actions

V. SWANK’s Position

You knew.
You didn’t act.
We got sick.
You threatened removal.
And now — we’re filing.

This wasn’t about concern.
It was about control.

This isn’t just a statement.
It’s your pre-litigation notice.
