“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.

The Elegant Machinery of Exclusion: A Formal Complaint Against Westminster’s Concept of Care


🦚 On the Elegant Art of Exclusion: A Formal Complaint Regarding Ms Kristen House’s Dereliction of Duty

"Because one must maintain standards, even under bureaucratic siege."

4 March 2025

To: Complaints Department, Westminster Children’s Services
Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Ms Kristen House – Failure to Accommodate Disability, Misconduct, and Retraumatisation

🎓 I. Disability Disregarded – Communication as Contempt

Despite being notified — exhaustively — of my medical conditions (eosinophilic asthma and muscle tension dysphonia), Ms Hornal chose to:

  • Ignore medically supported requests for written-only communication;

  • Pressure me into verbal, in-person engagement, precipitating preventable health crises;

  • Flagrantly disregard her duties under the Equality Act 2010.

This was not miscommunication. It was an institutional sneer in administrative form.

🩺 II. Silence, Evasion, and Managerial Sleight-of-Hand

Ms House’s pattern of bureaucratic vanishing acts included:

  • Failure to respond to critical safeguarding emails;

  • Forcing me to re-explain documented disabilities while visibly ill;

  • Systematically excluding me from decisions not on the basis of risk, but of inconvenience.

Accessibility was not denied casually — it was denied as policy.

📉 III. Procedural Improvisation Masquerading as Safeguarding

The safeguarding process became pure performance:

  • No lawful risk assessments were conducted;

  • No coherent written plans were offered;

  • No proportionality applied under the Children Act 1989.

Instead, concern was invoked like a theatrical prop — to justify intervention without the burden of evidence.

🎭 IV. The Retraumatisation Machine: Care by Attrition

Through repeated forced interactions:

  • I experienced respiratory crises;

  • My family endured psychological destabilisation;

  • My children’s education and health were undermined by state-induced stress.

What was presented as “safeguarding” functioned, in reality, as procedural vandalism.

🧾 V. Formal Redress Demanded

Thus, I formally request:

  1. A full investigation into Ms House’s conduct.

  2. A written public apology for breaches of disability law.

  3. Mandatory external disability rights retraining for Westminster’s social services staff.

  4. Immediate referral of Ms House to Social Work England for fitness to practise review.

📢 Closing Reflection

The first duty of any safeguarding professional is not surveillance — it is respect.
Until Westminster Children’s Services internalises this elementary principle, it will remain what it currently is:
A theatre of harm, dressed in the language of care.

Yours with punctilious disdain,
