Formal communication sent to Westminster Children’s Services requesting lawful, child-sensitive engagement during Public Law Outline (PLO) proceedings.
I. What Happened
On 28 April 2025, the claimant sent a direct email to both Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, senior officers at Westminster Children’s Services, requesting respectful engagement with her children and adherence to communication adjustments already established as medically necessary. This message, though brief, is part of a wider archive of documents that show Westminster’s refusal to adapt its approach — despite full knowledge of the family's disability status, trauma history, and lawful protections.
The subject line itself — “Request for Respect of My Children’s Wellbeing and Communication Practices” — highlights the systemic absurdity: a mother is forced to ask for the bare minimum during a legal process that purports to be child-centred.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Repeated requests for lawful written-only communication
Emphasis on emotional impact of PLO intrusions on children
Lack of procedural flexibility in response to clinical need
Ongoing failure to incorporate trauma-informed or child-sensitive practices
Institutional refusal to acknowledge legitimate requests without litigation
III. Why SWANK Filed It
This message is not lengthy — and that is precisely what makes it powerful. In a single sentence and a single PDF attachment, the parent presents a basic moral and legal request: protect my children from emotional harm and follow the law. The fact that such a request even needs to be made — and that it is then ignored — is evidence of a system that does not serve children, but serves itself.
SWANK London Ltd. formally archived this email to document:
The unresponsiveness of Westminster social work management
The emotional toll of procedural aggression on disabled families
A clear example of a written parental request being treated as disposable
IV. Violations
Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (reasonable adjustments)
Children Act 1989 – Duty to safeguard emotional wellbeing
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (right to family life)
UNCRC – Article 3 (best interests of the child), Article 12 (right to be heard)
Social Work England Standards – Lack of dignity, respect, and collaboration
V. SWANK’s Position
Westminster cannot claim to operate within a “child protection” framework while disregarding the emotional and psychological safety of children at every turn. When social workers need to be told — formally and in writing — that their conduct is harming a family, the system has already failed. This email is archived not only as evidence — but as indictment.
SWANK London Ltd. calls for:
A full procedural review of Westminster’s PLO communication strategy
Public disclosure of all internal guidance used during family interventions
A statement of accountability from both Sam Brown and Kirsty Hornal
