Summary: Formal complaint to the Equality & Human Rights Commission alleging institutional racism, procedural negligence, and disability-based disregard by Westminster Children’s Services.
I. What Happened
The complainant, Polly Chromatic, submitted a document so mannered it might be mistaken for etiquette—were it not a scalpel.
Filed to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the letter dissects a sequence of official disbelief, cultural distortion, and procedural cruelty masquerading as care.
Four U.S. citizen children removed; equality notices unacknowledged; every plea for breath translated into paperwork.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That safeguarding can become stagecraft when race scripts the casting.
• That “concern” can perform discrimination more elegantly than hostility.
• That bureaucratic decorum—its memos, its minutes—can weaponise disbelief.
• That the Public Sector Equality Duty has been recited but not rehearsed.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To evidence the quiet grammar of institutional prejudice: polite, procedural, and devastating.
• To instruct oversight bodies in the art of reading between minutes.
• To preserve, in perpetuity, the administrative choreography by which inequality self-justifies.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Equality Act 2010 — ss. 13 (Direct Discrimination), 19 (Indirect Discrimination), 26 (Harassment), 149 (PSED)
ECHR Arts. 8 and 14 — family life and non-discrimination
Macpherson Report (1999) — definition of institutional racism
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not a petition for fairness.
This is an indictment in velvet.
We do not accept bias draped in procedure.
We reject the performance of equality as a decorative gesture.
We will file until the language of compliance admits its accent.
