“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.

Retaliation Is Not a Safeguarding Strategy — It’s a Crime



⟡ Criminal Referral Filed Against Westminster Officials ⟡
“Complicity is not administrative – it is criminal.”

Filed: 21 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/CRIMINAL-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-06-21_SWANK_CriminalReferral_Hornal_Newman_Brown_ComplicityAndRetaliation.pdf
A formal criminal referral to the Metropolitan Police, naming Kirsty Hornal, Sam Brown, and Sarah Newman for coordinated misconduct, retaliatory safeguarding abuse, and rights violations against a disabled U.S. family.


I. What Happened
After over a year of escalations, Westminster officials Kirsty Hornal, Sam Brown, and Sarah Newman coordinated unlawful safeguarding actions in response to lawful public documentation, all while knowingly targeting a disabled mother and four disabled U.S. children. These actions included covert monitoring, harassment, refusal of adjustments, and attempted supervisory coercion following public complaints and legal filings.


II. Why SWANK Filed It
Because disability isn’t a trigger.
Because lawful publication isn’t a provocation.
Because safeguarding misuse is not a strategy — it’s a criminal act when used to punish speech.
Because Westminster thought “institutional culture” would protect them. It won’t.


III. Violations Cited

  • Equality Act 2010 (S.15, S.20, S.27)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 (Articles 8, 10, 14)

  • Data Protection Act 2018 (Unlawful surveillance and misuse of personal data)

  • Malfeasance in Public Office

  • Perverting the Course of Justice


IV. What the Document Establishes

  • That retaliation has replaced safeguarding.

  • That disability is being wielded as justification for oppression, not protection.

  • That Westminster officials are not simply incompetent — they are complicit.

  • That public documentation is a defensive act, not an incitement.

  • That silence will not be performed.


V. SWANK’s Position
We are not waiting for institutions to regulate themselves.
We are documenting. We are escalating.
We are naming names.
And we are not going away.

⟡ Chromatic v Multi-Agency Obstruction: A Record Withheld is a Right Denied ⟡



⟡ “We Asked for Our Data. They Gave Us Silence.” ⟡
Legal notice demanding records, disability accommodations, and compliance with statutory access laws

Filed: 22 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER-RBKC/SAR-BREACH-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-22_SWANK_Email_SARFailure_EqualityAct_DisclosureDemand.pdf
Email demanding compliance with overdue Subject Access Request and citing Equality Act violations across multiple agencies


I. What Happened

On 22 April 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a formal legal notice via email to over a dozen public officials, including employees of Westminster Council, RBKC, Islington, and NHS services. The message asserted that repeated failures to fulfil a Subject Access Request (SAR) had now escalated to a breach of legal obligation. It further demanded written-only communication under the Equality Act 2010 and formally cited noncompliance and discrimination.

The message was also copied to medical consultant Philip Reid and included a closing invitation: those with withheld knowledge or complicity were invited to speak—quietly, safely, and off record.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Failure to comply with SAR deadlines; ignoring written communication adjustments

  • Human impact: Prolonged stress, disability flare-ups, and intensified institutional gaslighting

  • Power dynamics: Withholding of legally entitled data as a strategy to undermine legal redress

  • Institutional failure: Cross-agency complicity in data suppression and accommodation evasion

  • Unacceptable conduct: Systemic disregard for basic access rights and statutory timelines


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when public bodies want control, they stall the data.
Because nothing says retaliation like forgetting the law exists when you're asked for proof.
Because written-only adjustments were again ignored — not out of confusion, but out of strategy.
Because SAR evasion is not bureaucratic error. It is institutional mood.

This archive entry isn’t about a missing file. It’s about a coordinated refusal to let truth surface.


IV. Violations

  • UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, Sections 45–54 – failure to respond to SAR within lawful timeframes

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to provide reasonable adjustments for communication

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – right to personal data and family privacy undermined

  • Freedom of Information Act 2000, Section 16 – failure to offer guidance or support in response process


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a missed deadline. This was an act of deferral — carefully managed, widely copied, and institutionally protected.

We do not accept that data access depends on obedience.
We do not accept that disability accommodations are optional.
We do not accept that safeguarding professionals can disappear into silence when challenged.

This email was clear. This archive is louder.

Due Process Postponed: Westminster Cancels PLO With a One-Line Email



⟡ “We’ll Cancel Your Legal Meeting — Without Reason, Without Notice, Without Shame” ⟡
A legally mandated child protection meeting scrapped by email. No explanation. No urgency. No accountability.

Filed: 1 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-04
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-05-01_SWANK_Email_Westminster_PLOCancellation_KHornal.pdf
Email from Kirsty Hornal (WCC) casually cancelling a scheduled PLO meeting — without justification, replacement date, or regard for procedural integrity.


I. What Happened

On 1 May 2025, Kirsty Hornal of Westminster Children’s Services sent an email cancelling a scheduled Public Law Outline (PLO) meeting. The reason? None provided. The replacement date? “Please look out for further notification.” This message was issued less than 48 hours before the statutory meeting and included no reference to the family’s medical accommodations, legal status, or the implications of delay on safeguarding.

It is a shining example of how public authorities exercise complete indifference when it is their own procedural duties on the line — while punishing families for the slightest deviation from expectations.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Disregard for legal obligations under the Children Act and PLO guidance

  • Sudden cancellation of a mandatory child protection meeting

  • Absence of explanation or rescheduling protocol

  • Ongoing evidence of administrative retaliation and emotional destabilisation

  • Institutional mismanagement during active legal escalation


III. Why SWANK Filed It

In most jurisdictions, a meeting this critical — one that may lead to child removal or court proceedings — would require notice, documentation, and written reasons. In Westminster, apparently, it can be cancelled with less than two lines of text. This document confirms what other records have already shown: the authority's misuse of process is not reactive — it is routine.

SWANK archived this document to:

  • Expose Westminster’s pattern of PLO disruption, delay, and informalism

  • Demonstrate how administrative instability is used to psychologically destabilise families

  • Reinforce the evidentiary trail for judicial review, ombudsman filings, and public accountability


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to ensure procedural fairness in child protection planning

  • Public Law Outline Protocol – Undue delay and lack of documentation

  • Equality Act 2010 – Ignoring written-communication adjustments

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (private/family life)

  • Social Work England Professional Standards – Breach of integrity, clarity, and reliability


V. SWANK’s Position

The PLO process is not a social calendar. It is a legally codified pathway through which families are threatened with court intervention — often without cause. Cancelling these meetings without notice, documentation, or rationale is not just negligent. It is institutionally violent.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for immediate intervention by oversight bodies to investigate the cancellation patterns within Westminster Children’s Services — particularly those linked to families asserting disability rights or resisting procedural abuse.

The Director Knew — And She Let It Happen Anyway



⟡ “The Fish Rots from the Top — And This One Signs Off on Retaliation” ⟡
A leadership-level regulatory complaint against Sarah Newman, filed after safeguarding was used to punish lawful complaint, harm disabled children, and sabotage parental rights.

Filed: 8 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/REGULATION-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-08_SWANK_Complaint_SWE_SarahNewman_LeadershipBreach.pdf
Formal complaint to Social Work England against Sarah Newman, Executive Director of Children’s Services, for systemic failure in oversight, leadership malpractice, and disability retaliation under the guise of child protection.


I. What Happened

This complaint — submitted by Polly Chromatic — holds Sarah Newman accountable not just for isolated errors, but for institutionalised harm. It outlines how her office:

  • Failed to enforce disability protections despite statutory warning

  • Permitted and escalated PLO proceedings based on disproven allegations

  • Ignored medical and environmental risk factors, including sewer gas exposure and asthma crises

  • Allowed staff to disregard written-only communication adjustments supported by clinical evidence

  • Oversaw an internal culture where retaliation for complaint is not the exception — but the workflow

The submission includes annexes such as a pre-action letter, N1 claim, psychiatric reports, and safeguarding chronology — making this not a grievance, but a structured evidentiary indictment.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural harassment under PLO was authorised or ignored at executive level

  • Disability rights were overridden without lawful justification

  • Children’s educational access and emotional stability were harmed by institutional aggression

  • Regulatory and judicial safeguards were systematically bypassed

  • Sarah Newman failed to intervene, correct, or acknowledge leadership liability


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the moment where accountability moves up the chain. The complaint makes clear: retaliation for lawful complaint is a leadership failure. It does not matter if Sarah Newman did not type the emails. She enabled the structure that punished the parent for speaking up.

SWANK filed this document to:

  • Escalate institutional malpractice beyond individual officers

  • Activate regulatory oversight where internal mechanisms have collapsed

  • Establish a formal precedent for holding executive directors to account for downstream abuse


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20 (adjustments), 27 (victimisation), 149 (public duty)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6, 8, and 14 (due process, family life, discrimination)

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 22 and Working Together 2018 noncompliance

  • Care Act 2014 – Section 42 (neglect of known risks and medical conditions)

  • Social Work England Standards – Failure in leadership, public trust, and ethical governance

  • UNCRC – Article 12 (child’s voice), Article 23 (disabled family support), Article 3 (best interests)


V. SWANK’s Position

Leadership does not excuse itself from responsibility by remaining silent. When a disabled family is harassed, misrepresented, and escalated into child protection frameworks for asserting legal rights, and the director says nothing — she is not neutral. She is complicit.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

  • Social Work England to initiate formal fitness-to-practise review of Sarah Newman

  • An external audit of Westminster’s safeguarding decisions between 2023–2025

  • Removal of Sarah Newman from any role involving child protection, oversight, or regulatory decision-making

The Letter That Called It ‘Concern’ — But Was Really Just a Threat



⟡ “This Is the Letter That Started It — and It’s Full of Errors” ⟡
A procedurally grandiose document designed to intimidate — riddled with factual inaccuracies, medical disregard, and administrative fantasy.

Filed: 14 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-00
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-14_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_PLOInitiation_TriggerDocument.pdf
Official Westminster Children’s Services letter initiating Public Law Outline (PLO) pre-proceedings against a disabled parent — with concerns fabricated, exaggerated, or previously disproven.


I. What Happened

On 14 April 2025, Westminster Children’s Services issued this letter to formally initiate PLO pre-proceedings against Polly Chromatic. Signed by both Sam Brown and Kirsty Hornal, the letter purports to outline “concerns” about the parent’s ability to care for her children — despite video, medical, educational, and procedural records to the contrary.

It alleges:

  • Educational neglect, while ignoring GCSE progress and homeschool planning

  • Emotional harm, while disregarding documented trauma caused by council harassment

  • Medical concerns, without referencing the family's sewer gas exposure or clinical disability reports

  • Past injuries that had already been documented, addressed, and archived

  • Suspicion of drug use, based on nothing but bureaucratic innuendo

The tone is severe, the allegations vague, and the motive transparent: intimidate the parent into submission.


II. What the Document Demonstrates

  • PLO escalation was retaliatory, not safeguarding-based

  • Allegations were not evidence-based, but selectively assembled to justify pre-decided action

  • The parent’s known disabilities and written communication requirements were ignored

  • Safeguarding language was deployed to obscure procedural bullying

  • Westminster failed to apply trauma-informed, medically sound, or culturally competent practice


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This letter is the origin point of procedural abuse — the moment Westminster Children’s Services abandoned lawful safeguarding and entered the realm of targeted retaliation. By initiating PLO with no new concern and in defiance of internal admissions that the case could be closed, the authority exposed itself as both adversarial and disingenuous.

SWANK archived this letter to:

  • Show how safeguarding language can be deployed to obscure discrimination

  • Provide the formal paper trail of Westminster’s escalation despite contradictory evidence

  • Highlight the lack of integrity in the statutory threshold determination


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – PLO misuse; no lawful safeguarding threshold

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 20, 27 (discrimination, failure to adjust, retaliation)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)

  • UK GDPR – Misuse of personal data, omission of known facts and corrections

  • Social Work England Standards – Misrepresentation, procedural overreach, factual inaccuracy


V. SWANK’s Position

This document may be formatted like safeguarding — but it reads like retaliation. The escalation to PLO was not justified, not proportionate, and not defensible. It was a bureaucratic performance dressed in statutory clothing — one that endangered a disabled family under the guise of “concern.”

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

  • Full withdrawal of this letter from active case files

  • A formal review of the decision-making process behind the PLO trigger

  • Regulatory sanctions for officers who signed off on procedural harm without evidence

They Called It Safeguarding. I Called It Police.



⟡ “I Filed Her Name, Her Email, Her Pattern — And I Called It a Crime.” ⟡
This isn’t a referral. It isn’t a complaint. It’s a full police report filed through the Metropolitan Police’s official portal, naming a Westminster social worker for coercion, harassment, and disability-based abuse of power. The condition was real. The harm was real. Now the crime is, too.

Filed: 15 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/MPS/KH-CRIM-03
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-02-15_SWANK_MetPoliceReport_KirstyHornal_DisabilityCoercion_ProceduralAbuse_OfficialRecord.pdf
Formal police report submitted via the Single Online Home system, case reference BCA-10622-25-0101-IR. Allegations include verbal coercion of a disabled parent, misuse of safeguarding procedures, and institutional ableism. The suspect: Kirsty Hornal. The harm: measurable, preventable, and now, police-registered.


I. What Happened

On 15 February 2025, Polly Chromatic did what safeguarding protocol refused to do — she named the problem and submitted it as a crime.

• Verbal coercion despite known muscle dysphonia
• Emotional distress worsening PTSD
• Clinical exacerbation of eosinophilic asthma
• Safeguarding used to escalate harm, not prevent it
• The suspect? Kirsty Hornal, Westminster social worker
• Contact email? Provided.
• Evidence? Logged.

This wasn’t a vague allegation. It was a detailed legal theory supported by medical diagnosis, policy violations, and direct testimony.

And it was filed not just for the record — but for the criminal investigation trail.


II. What the Report Establishes

  • That the social worker’s conduct caused documented harm

  • That disability was used against the disabled person

  • That “voluntary” contact was made impossible to refuse

  • That the harm was not incidental — it was foreseeable and repeated

  • That police now hold an official record of what safeguarding denied


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because disability doesn’t get paused for paperwork. Because coercion wrapped in procedure is still coercion. And because when social work becomes a source of harm, it becomes a criminal matter.

SWANK archived this because:

  • It documents an act of institutional bravery

  • It transforms verbal collapse into legal consequence

  • It adds the criminal code to the evidentiary trail

  • It confirms what the council feared: this parent knew the law

This isn’t your average safeguarding rebuttal. This is the moment a safeguarding officer became a legal defendant-in-waiting.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Reasonable adjustment deliberately bypassed
    • Section 26: Harassment based on protected characteristic
    • Section 27: Retaliation after lawful complaint
    • Section 149: Public authority duty grossly breached

  • Protection from Harassment Act 1997 –
    • Coercive contact without lawful basis
    • Refusal to respect written-only boundary after multiple warnings

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 3: Inhuman or degrading treatment
    • Article 8: Disruption of private and family life
    • Article 14: Discriminatory application of safeguarding

  • Children Act 1989 –
    • Misuse of safeguarding to exert institutional control

  • Social Work England Misconduct Code –
    • Violation of trust
    • Misuse of power
    • Abuse of professional position


V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to hide behind the word “voluntary” when the other person is disabled and scared. You don’t get to say it’s support when you’re the source of collapse. And you absolutely don’t get to keep doing it once the police have your name on file.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this report as a permanent entry in the criminal record of procedural abuse — with full legal consequence attached.

I. This Was Not a Plea. It Was an Indictment.

On 1 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. issued a formal complaint to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) — naming every public body, every failure, and every retaliatory act waged against a disabled parent who dared to file back.

This was not sent in hope.

It was sent as evidence under jurisdiction.

The submission cites:

  • Disability discrimination: refusal to honour a written-only adjustment

  • Safeguarding misuse: escalation without lawful threshold

  • Institutional indifference: GPs, councils, regulators shrugging in chorus

  • Intersectional bias: as a disabled woman, parent, and survivor of state intrusion


II. What the Complaint Documents

  • A family medically exempt from verbal communication

  • Repeated safeguarding referrals filed:

    • Without cause

    • After legal filings

    • In breach of disability protections

  • Named actors from:

    • Westminster City Council

    • Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC)

    • Pembridge Surgery

    • St Thomas’ Hospital

  • And a public archive — SWANK London Ltd. — that has already documented every file, date, and name.

This wasn’t a summary.

It was a structured timeline of systemic harm.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because Equality Law is not a suggestion.
And no public body is immune from its obligations — least of all when the discrimination is deliberate, coordinated, and retaliatory.

We filed this because:

  • Written-only was ignored.

  • Illness was framed as instability.

  • Complaint became cause for escalation.

  • And institutional silence functioned as collusion.

This isn’t about awareness.

It’s about accountability.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not wait to be heard.
We submit.
We file.
And we publish.

We do not ask for equality.
We document its violation.

Let the record show:

The law was cited.
The actors were named.
The evidence was filed.
And now — it is public.

This wasn’t a complaint.
It was a legal witness statement, served with formatting.

I. You Don’t Get to Claim Ignorance After This Letter

On 22 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. issued a Final Notice to Sarah Newman, Executive Director of Bi-Borough Children’s Services, formally instructing her to:

  • Cease all retaliatory actions

  • Respect written-only communication adjustments

  • Comply with statutory and common law duties under:

    • The Equality Act 2010

    • The Human Rights Act 1998

    • The Data Protection Act 2018

    • SWANK’s declared jurisdiction as archival authority

This was not correspondence.
It was a jurisdictional warning — served to prevent escalation. Or document it.


II. What the Notice Declares

  • That repeated safeguarding threats, procedural opacity, and silent contact breaches constitute disability retaliation

  • That any further action taken without legal basis will be entered into SWANK’s litigation records and reported to:

    • The police

    • The Information Commissioner

    • The Equality and Human Rights Commission

    • The United Nations Special Rapporteurs already contacted

The notice is clear:

We are not participating in safeguarding theatre.
We are preserving legal sequence.
You have been warned — in writing, in law, and in public.


III. Why SWANK Issued This Now

Because Sarah Newman, like her staff, received:

  • Direct communication adjustment notices

  • Documented refusal to engage in CIN plans

  • Copies of court filings and medical documents

And yet, retaliatory procedures continued — with no explanation, no justification, and no lawful basis.

This letter was the line in the ledger.

Every step they take after this becomes a matter of evidence, not administration.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not wait for harm.
We document attempted harm before it becomes plausible deniability.

We do not explain medical conditions to administrators who don’t read.
We file the warnings.
We preserve the breach.
And we timestamp the failure.

Let the record show:

Sarah Newman was notified.
Retaliation was named.
And this notice now functions as a judicial artefact in our archive.

I. The Court Denied Access. The Archive Didn’t.

On 22 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. submitted a Supplemental Witness Statement to support our ongoing judicial review of systemic disability retaliation and procedural sabotage.

This filing is addressed to Inner London Crown Court, and by extension:

  • The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO)

  • The Judicial Appointments and Conduct Ombudsman (JACO)

  • The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)

  • The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB)

It is not a plea.
It is a record of legal obstruction inside the very body tasked with enforcing the law.


II. What the Statement Records

  • Repeated failure to acknowledge disability adjustments

  • Return of a dismissal application with no explanation and no written response

  • Mishandling of submitted evidence: a DVD returned without chain of custody record or log

  • Ignored requests for written-only contact, vision-specific formats, and trauma accommodations

  • Deliberate procedural opacity — violating not only best practice, but the Human Rights Act

This isn’t “miscommunication.”
This is judicial gatekeeping by attrition.

The court didn’t say “no.”
It said nothing.
Repeatedly.
Illegally.


III. Why SWANK Filed It Publicly

Because a system that mishandles court access should not retain the privilege of silence.

Because:

  • Retaliation does not stop at the council

  • Disability discrimination does not vanish at the court entrance

  • And judicial institutions must answer not only for what they rule — but how they behave

This statement is not litigation.
It is archival preservation of misconduct by omission.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept access as an optional courtesy.
We do not accept that “procedure” means “delay until collapse.”
We do not accept that justice is only for the able-bodied and the institutionally fluent.

Let the record show:

The court was notified.
The court did not comply.
And now, the filing is public — permanent — and named.

This is not a grievance.
It is evidence.
And it is now preserved.

I. Leisure, Until You’re Not the Right Kind of Child

On 31 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. submitted a formal complaint to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) regarding an act of direct and discriminatory conduct at Porchester Hall Leisure Centre.

The victim:
A Black child.
Age 11.
Calm. Respectful. Swimming under supervision.

The problem:

She didn’t “look old enough.”
So she was removed.
Without precedent. Without inquiry. Without justification.


II. What the Complaint States

This was not about safety.
This was about visible difference and assumed defiance.

The complaint outlines:

  • Unlawful removal from the pool despite safe, observed behaviour

  • Racialised assumptions about age, defiance, and “compliance”

  • Prior inclusion in the same session under identical circumstances

  • No attempt to contact or verify with the parent (who was present)

  • direct statement by staff implying age was “obvious from her look”

Let us be clear:

What changed was not her behaviour.
What changed was who saw her.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because public leisure spaces are not exempt from discrimination law.
Because leisure does not mean license to profile.
Because dignity is not age-restricted.

This complaint makes clear:

  • The child was compliant.

  • The parent was present.

  • The reason was perception, not policy.

We filed it so that what occurred at Porchester Hall is recordednamed, and impossible to dismiss as a misunderstanding.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not teach our daughters that their existence is disruptive.
We do not let white public servants define defiance by skin tone.
We do not walk away quietly from leisure centres that remove children with a glance and a shrug.

Let the record show:

She swam without harm.
She was told to leave anyway.
And now it’s a matter of formal complaint.

This is not petty.
This is patterned.
And it now lives in the archive.

⟡ SWANK Resubmission Record ⟡

“The Complaint They Ignored. The Resubmission They Can’t.”

I. When Silence Is a Strategy, Filing Is a Weapon

This is not a new complaint.
It is the same one they ignored — returned, escalated, and now recorded.

On 2 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. formally resubmitted a complaint to Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust concerning:

  • Disability discrimination

  • Clinical negligence

  • Safeguarding abuse

  • Procedural delay

  • Breach of the Equality Act 2010

They had 8 weeks to respond.
They chose not to.
So we filed it again — publicly, and with improved tone.


II. What They Tried to Avoid

The original complaint, submitted in March 2025, detailed:

  • Eosinophilic asthma neglected

  • Written-only communication breached

  • NHS staff retaliation disguised as “concern”

  • Psychological and physiological harm

  • No resolution. No final letter. No closure.

PHSO refused to investigate without a final reply.
GSTT simply never sent one.

So we gave them another opportunity — with a timestamp.

They used silence as defence.
We used resubmission as evidence.


III. Why This Is Now a Public Filing

Because delay is not neutral.
Because the Equality Act does not allow NHS bodies to ignore disabled patients.
Because your “final response” cannot be: no response.

This document now functions as:

  • trigger for PHSO escalation

  • formal record of institutional avoidance

  • statement of intent from SWANK: we don’t go away — we resubmit louder


IV. SWANK’s Position

They didn’t reject the complaint.
They erased it.
And in doing so, proved the very allegation at its core: that disability complaint invites punishment — or disappearance.

We do not wait politely.
We file permanently.
This document is now part of the public archive.

Let the record show:

They were told once.
They were told again.
And now the silence speaks louder than anything they could write.

Procedural Review Filed: Kirsty Hornal and the Supervision Threat Without Safeguarding Grounds



⟡ SWANK Procedural Dispatch ⟡

Retaliation Disguised as Safeguarding
The Supervision Threat Email of 31 May 2025

Filed Under: safeguarding misconduct, procedural retaliation, disability law, Westminster City Council, audit dispatch

I. When Procedure Becomes Weapon

On 31 May 2025, Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal—Senior Practitioner at the North West Social Work Team—sent an email declaring the Council's intention to apply for a Supervision Order concerning four children.

The problem?

No risk assessment.
No strategy meeting.
No multi-agency process.
No safeguarding trigger.
No legal basis.

Instead: a thinly veiled threat—issued days after Westminster received a formal Cease and Desist, a legal dispute over disability adjustments, and notification of active litigation.

This was not protection.
This was punishment.

II. Procedural Review Filed

On 7 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. submitted a formal Procedural Review Request, addressed to senior officers at Westminster Children’s Services. The document outlines:

  • Violations of the Equality Act 2010

  • Bypass of documented communication adjustments

  • Omission of statutory thresholds under the Children Act 1989

  • Retaliatory timing following formal legal objections

It demands full disclosure of strategy records, authorisation trails, legal justifications, and a written explanation of compliance with safeguarding law.

III. Institutional Archiving and Public Oversight

This procedural review is now logged in the SWANK Oversight Archive and may be cited in:

  • Future litigation

  • Parliamentary Ombudsman complaints

  • EHRC and ICO investigations

  • Safeguarding appeals and human rights actions

IV. What They Tried to Call Safeguarding Was Simply Not That

Safeguarding must not be a retaliatory tool.
Procedures must not be emptied of law.
Disability adjustments are not optional.

As of 7 June 2025, this incident is no longer unrecorded.

This Isn’t Care. It’s Control. A Criminal Complaint from the Mirror Court.



๐Ÿ•ฏ SWANK London Ltd.

✒️ Dispatch No. 2025-05-29-Crim-Misc

Filed Under: Velvet Retaliation, Safeguarding Farce, Procedural Sadism


๐Ÿ“ฃ PUBLIC NOTICE

For Immediate Archival & Consequence
29 May 2025


๐Ÿ›ก A Criminal Complaint from the Velvet Front

Safeguarding Rewritten as Retaliation. Care Recast as Control.


LONDON, UK — A disabled mother and her four asthmatic children have issued a formal criminal complaint alleging misconduct by multiple public agencies:

  • Westminster Children’s Services

  • NHS Trusts

  • The Metropolitan Police

What’s been called “protection” was, in practice, a choreographed regime of cruelty — featuring falsified referrals, unlawful interrogations of children, and a pointed refusal to accommodate diagnosed medical conditions.


๐Ÿฉบ The Complainant

Polly Chromatic

Diagnosed with:
• Eosinophilic asthma
• Muscle tension dysphonia
• PTSD (acquired courtesy of institutional theatre)

Her four children also carry asthma diagnoses. Instead of care, they were offered intrusion. Instead of protection, escalation. Instead of support, a silent siege.

“This isn’t child protection. It’s punishment by process,”
— Polly Chromatic


⚠️ Highlights from the Complaint:

• Fabricated safeguarding referrals filed after medical discrimination
• Children questioned unlawfully, without representation
• Disability adjustments ignored — written-only contact denied
• PLO and CP escalation used punitively
• Police refused to obtain CCTV that would have exonerated the family


⚖️ Cited Breaches Include:

• Equality Act 2010
• Human Rights Act 1998
• Fraud Act 2006
• Children Act 1989
• Protection from Harassment Act 1997

The complaint — elegantly titled
“Section VII: Legal Breaches and Grounds for Criminal Investigation” —
has been submitted to:
• Metropolitan Police – Directorate of Professional Standards
• Social Work England
• Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)


๐Ÿงพ Additional Proceedings

The family has also filed:
• A civil claim (N1) for damages exceeding £23 million
• A judicial review (N461) challenging unlawful safeguarding escalation

Ms Simlett is medically exempt from verbal communication.

Met Police Violate Disability Rights in Retraumatising Home Visit – 3 June 2025



✉️ Dispatch No. 2025-06-03-MET-DISABILITY-BREACH

Filed Under: Police Disregard, Disability Misconduct, Doorstep Theatre

To:
Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)
๐Ÿ“ง enquiries@policeconduct.gov.uk

Subject:
Formal Complaint – Metropolitan Police Violation of Disability Adjustments (3 June 2025)

Date: 3 June 2025


Dear IOPC Complaints Team,

Consider this a formal submission to the archive of modern British institutional failure. I refer to the unjustifiable attendance of Metropolitan Police officers at my private residence on the morning of 3 June 2025—an incident so flagrant in its disregard for disability law that one wonders whether training has been entirely replaced by improvisational theatre.

The facts, which I presume will not be contested:

  • clearly visible sign affixed to my door specifying no contact except in writing

  • documented and longstanding communication adjustment, known to multiple agencies

  • Diagnosed conditions including:

    • Eosinophilic Asthma

    • Muscle tension dysphonia

    • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — the latter acquired not through random misfortune, but through sustained institutional harassment

Despite these safeguards, officers arrived uninvitedunannounced, and wholly uninformed. This intrusion followed closely on the heels of a threatening email from a local safeguarding officer — an email which had already triggered a psychological spiral requiring days of recovery. The police arrival escalated the harm into the physical realm: my hands went numb, my breathing constricted, and I was once again re-traumatised by the very systems meant to offer protection.


⚖️ Legal Grounds for IOPC Scrutiny

I am formally requesting the IOPC to log and investigate this incident on the following legal foundations:

  • Breach of the Equality Act 2010 – failure to honour a pre-established disability adjustment

  • Violation of Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 – unwarranted intrusion into private life

  • Institutional negligence in the handling of known clinical vulnerabilities

  • Re-traumatisation through coercive and unauthorised contact

For the avoidance of doubt: this was not a welfare check. It was a procedural violation, cloaked in bureaucratic indifference, carried out by uniformed agents of state harm.

The original letter to the Metropolitan Police’s Professional Standards Department is enclosed for your reference. Kindly confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a formal case reference. One must presume that even in the realm of police oversight, paperwork still counts for something.

Yours, with documented dismay,

Polly Chromatic

Formal Escalation – Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust

Unresolved Complaint, Retaliatory Safeguarding & Clinical Incompetence


Dear Sir or Madam,

What follows is not a fresh complaint, but the remains of one—left to rot in the inboxes of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, untouched, unanswered, and untreated for over twelve weeks.

On 10 March 2025, I submitted a complaint concerning two medical incidents at St Thomas’ Hospital (4 November 2024 & 2 January 2025). Since then, the Trust has responded with prolonged silence—a delay not merely inconsiderate but procedurally unconscionable.

I now formally request that the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman intervene, as the Trust appears unwilling or unable to locate its statutory obligations, let alone fulfil them.


๐Ÿฉบ Summary of Malpractice and Mayhem:

  • On both occasions, I arrived in respiratory distress (eosinophilic asthma).

  • I was denied proper treatment, and reasonable adjustments were pointedly refused—despite diagnosed communication disabilities (vocal cord dysfunction and muscle tension dysphonia).

  • My repeated, lawful requests for written communication were ignored, as if decorum were optional.

  • The Trust retaliated with a safeguarding referral so baseless it collapsed into farce, culminating in police interference at our hotel and harm to my children.


This sequence of events—a collision of incompetence, arrogance, and contempt—amounts to:

  • A breach of the Equality Act 2010

  • A direct affront to the NHS Constitution

  • And a clear failure to offer dignified, accessible, or lawful care


๐Ÿ“Ž Documentation (For Those Who Read):

I enclose my Written Communication Statement, which outlines the statutory basis and medical rationale for written-only engagement. It is also available online, for the benefit of institutions with a penchant for misplacing attachments:
๐Ÿ”— Written Communication Statement


๐Ÿ•ฏ The Ask (Since It Must Be Spelled Out):

  • That the PHSO accept and investigate this complaint as a matter of urgency

  • That the Trust’s inertia and misconduct be examined for what they are: calculated institutional dereliction

Email Threat of Supervision Order – Procedural Retaliation by Kirsty Hornal (WCC) | 31 May 2025



๐Ÿ“ฎ Dispatch: Supervision by Threat

Subject: Kirsty Hornal’s Email of 31 May 2025
Filed Under: Procedural Retaliation, Email Harassment, Disability Discrimination


๐Ÿ•ฏ Summary:

On 31 May 2025, Kirsty Hornal of Westminster Children’s Services issued a strikingly unprofessional communication declaring that Westminster Council was “applying to court for a supervision order.”

Not via legal service.
Not via formal case proceedings.
But via email. Casual. Unsanctioned. And profoundly coercive.


๐ŸŽญ This Was Not Safeguarding. This Was Threat Theatre.


1. Retaliation, Thinly Veiled

At the time of this email, the recipient — Director of SWANK London Ltd. — had a live N1 claim against Westminster City Council and affiliated public bodies.

Hornal’s statement appears surgically timed to:

  • Intimidate the claimant during active legal action

  • Punish refusal to submit to informal CIN procedures

  • Preempt judicial or regulatory scrutiny by manufacturing a pseudo-crisis

This is not child protection. It is a procedural counter-attack.


2. Procedural Misconduct by Omission

A lawful application for a supervision order must be preceded by:

  • Multi-agency safeguarding discussions

  • Escalation through the Public Law Outline (PLO)

  • Clear, evidence-based risk thresholds

Ms Hornal bypassed all of this.
There was no lawful trigger.
Only retaliation — typed, sent, and CC’d.


3. Disability Discrimination (Weaponised)

The recipient has a documented written-only communication policy, grounded in medical evidence of:

  • Eosinophilic asthma

  • Muscle tension dysphonia

  • PTSD linked to state harassment

This email violated that adjustment, knowing it would destabilise the recipient.

To do so in the name of “child welfare” is a grotesque inversion of duty.


4. Breach of Legal and Professional Standards

The act violates multiple frameworks simultaneously:

  • Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding pathways

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability adjustment ignored

  • Social Work England (SWE) Code of Ethics – Abuse of power

  • LGSCO Maladministration Standards – Procedural unfairness, lack of proportionality


5. A Documented Pattern

This is not an isolated episode.

Similar escalations have occurred precisely when:

  • Legal filings were made

  • Complaints were submitted

  • Medical boundaries were asserted

The evidence points to a systemic pattern of retaliatory safeguarding, well-documented in SWANK’s legal and police records.


๐Ÿ“Ž Concluding Position:

This is not “liaison.”
This is not “support.”
This is targeted coercion masquerading as child protection — emailed, unfiltered, and procedurally rotten.

A Social Worker’s Sword: Misconduct, Discrimination, and the Art of Retaliation in Westminster

Subject: Formal Fitness to Practise Referral – Kirsty Hornal (Westminster Children’s Services)

Concerning Misuse of Safeguarding Powers, Procedural Malfeasance, and Discriminatory Conduct toward a Disabled Litigant

Dear Professional Standards Team,

I write, with the requisite exhaustion of one too frequently targeted by institutional disdain, to raise a formal referral against Ms Kirsty Hornal, social worker employed by Westminster City Council Children’s Services, whose recent conduct has pierced the boundaries of professional decency and landed squarely in the domain of coercive misconduct.


๐Ÿ•ฏ The Incident in Brief — Though Nothing About It Was Briefly Endured

On 31 May 2025, Ms Hornal issued me an unsolicited and aggressive email, stating that “the local authority is applying to court for a supervision order.” The communication was:

  • Unanchored in legal reality, risk evidence, or safeguarding protocol

  • Devoid of procedural grounding, and therefore gratuitously menacing

  • A retaliatory dispatch, sent in the midst of my civil claim against her employer

  • A flagrant disregard of my disability accommodations, which prohibit surprise escalations or verbal manoeuvrings

  • Delivered as if law were theatre, and I, its unwillingly cast antagonist

One does not need a law degree — though I have certainly acted as though I hold several — to see this was not safeguarding. It was retribution masquerading as duty.


⚖ Enumerated Breaches of Professional Standards

The following Professional Standards, issued by your own body, were treated by Ms Hornal as optional dรฉcor:

  • 1.6 – Failing to treat me as an individual or to respect my legal and medical status

  • 1.7 – Communicating in a manner that was neither appropriate, open, nor honest — unless one considers veiled threats a form of transparency

  • 1.9 – Exploiting her statutory position to intimidate, not protect

  • 2.2 – Collapsing the necessary boundary between professional role and personal vendetta

  • 5.4 – Causing risk, not mitigating it; undermining confidence in social work as a domain of safeguarding rather than silencing


๐ŸŽญ Context – Which She Cannot Claim to Have Missed

I am a disabled mother of four, managing complex PTSD and muscle tension dysphonia — conditions formally documented and acknowledged by Westminster multiple times. My written-only communication directive has been repeatedly submitted. Yet, Ms Hornal chose to escalate through litigation theatre without process, consultation, or lawful basis. Her actions are not merely improper — they are institutionally corrosive.

Police involvement (Ref: ROC10979-25-0101-IR) has been necessitated. That, in itself, is an indictment of this profession’s failure to police its own.


๐Ÿ—‚ Documents Available for Your Review

  • Exhibit A: Ms Hornal’s email (31 May 2025)

  • Exhibit B: Communication directives and medical documentation

  • Exhibit C: Metropolitan Police report, filed 2 June 2025

  • Exhibit D: Civil litigation materials proving conflict of interest


๐Ÿงพ Remedy Sought

I request, in the interests of public trust and professional integrity, that Social Work England initiate an immediate fitness to practise review. This is not a matter of “conflict resolution.” It is a matter of removing individuals who weaponise statutory authority for bureaucratic vengeance.

I trust that Social Work England wishes to be perceived not merely as a registration body, but as a guardian of ethical standards. Please do not let this one pass beneath the rug so many others have already vanished under.

Final Notice to Sarah Newman – Safeguarding Abuse, Disability Discrimination, and Legal Liability | 22 May 2025



๐Ÿ“œ Final Declaration of Procedural Hostility and Disability-Based Misconduct

A Notice of Institutional Liability and Personal Accountability

To:
Ms Sarah Newman
Executive Director, Bi-Borough Children’s Services
Westminster City Council & Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

Date: 22 May 2025

Re: Immediate Cease and Desist – Retaliatory Safeguarding and Unlawful Interference


Dear Ms Newman,

This correspondence serves as a formal and final notice: any further attempt by you or your agents to initiate safeguarding procedures, encrypted contact, uninvited home attendance, or verbal communication with me or my children shall be construed, without ambiguity, as:

  • Sustained institutional harassment

  • Procedural retaliation targeting a civil litigant

  • Direct disability discrimination

Each of the above constitutes actionable misconduct under the Equality Act 2010, the Human Rights Act 1998, and established common law doctrines of abuse of power and failure of public duty.

You are now personally and professionally on notice. This warning will not be repeated.


⚖️ Legal and Evidentiary Architecture (Already Active)

You are reminded of the following binding structures:

  • Formal CIN refusal filed on lawful and medical grounds

  • N1 Civil ClaimN16A Injunction, and N461 Judicial Review already submitted

  • Multiple police reports filed (Refs: BCA-10622, BCA-25130, ROC-10237)

  • Formal complaints lodged with the LGSCOICONHS Trust, and GMC

  • written-only communication policy established and enforceable under the Equality Act 2010

Any deviation from these frameworks constitutes a deliberate act of defiance against court-linked and disability-adjusted boundaries.


๐Ÿ›‘ Cease and Desist Instructions – Non-Negotiable

You are hereby instructed to:

  1. Cease all contact not explicitly written and not facilitated through legal representation

  2. Cease all safeguarding initiatives unless lawfully mandated by a court of record

  3. Refrain from referring my children to any third-party service without express court-authorised cause

  4. Acknowledge institutional and individual liability for any further contact or reprisal

This shall be treated as a formal declaration of non-consent to all further interaction outside judicial or written context.


⚠ Consequences of Breach – Without Further Notice

In the event of noncompliance, I will:

  • File a personal civil claim for negligence, victimisation, and discrimination against you individually

  • Submit the breach to the High Court, appending all related misconduct to my active judicial filings

  • Publicly release the full chronology as part of a protected whistleblower archive under public interest immunity

Failure to respond will be construed as wilful negligence and escalated as such.

Refusal of CIN Visit – Medical Grounds, Legal Filings, and Police Reports | 22 May 2025



๐Ÿ›‘ Formal Refusal of CIN Visit Request

A Declaration of Legal Non-Consent and Medical Prohibition

Issued: 22 May 2025
To: Mr Sam Brown & Ms Kirsty Hornal
Westminster Children’s Services

Subject: Disability Adjustment, Judicial Protections & Active Police Proceedings


✒️ Opening Rebuke

Dear Mr Brown and Ms Hornal,

Consider this your formal and final notice: I do not and cannot consent to any in-person visits, uninvited verbal engagements, or contact of any kind pertaining to your CIN involvement request.

Such approaches are:

  • Medically contraindicated

  • Legally impermissible

  • Procedurally coercive and discriminatory

This communication constitutes a legal refusal underpinned by binding medical evidence and statutory protection. You are now on record.


๐Ÿฉบ Medical Standing – Non-Negotiable Adjustments

I am protected by formally diagnosed conditions, including:

  • Eosinophilic Asthma – aggravated by stress and poor air quality

  • Muscle Tension Dysphonia – rendering verbal communication functionally impossible

  • Complex PTSD – specifically trauma-linked to institutional intrusion, including social services

These diagnoses are fully documented in the attached psychiatric assessment by Dr Irfan Rafiq (26 November 2024), which explicitly prescribes written-only communication as a reasonable and legally binding adjustment under UK disability law.

To ignore this is not a service error. It is discrimination with medical consequences.


⚖️ Judicial and Criminal Proceedings – Active and Escalating

You are not engaging with a "service user." You are attempting contact with a person who has initiated multiple police reports and civil actions against your department, including but not limited to:

๐Ÿ“ Police Reports on File:

  • BCA-10622-25-0101-IR – Disability-based coercion (Ms Hornal)

  • BCA-25130-25-0101-IR – Retaliatory safeguarding after protected disclosure

  • BCA-25249-25-0101-IR – Sustained coercion, medical neglect, fabricated risk

  • ROC-10237-25-0101-IR – Procedural harassment by Mr Brown

๐Ÿ“œ Civil Filings in Motion:

  • N1 Claim – Disability discrimination & safeguarding abuse

  • N16A Injunction – Prohibiting procedural interference

  • N461 Judicial Review – Legality of safeguarding escalation under challenge

Your insistence on CIN contact in this context is astonishingly reckless and legally indefensible.


๐Ÿงพ Legal Position – Boundaries Now Formalised

Any further attempt to initiate:

  • CIN visits

  • Verbal or encrypted contact

  • Telephone calls or unscheduled engagement

...shall be treated as:

  • Harassment

  • Breach of medical directive

  • Violation of statutory rights under the Equality Act 2010Data Protection Act 2018, and common law duties of care and proportionality

You are, by law, now barred from making contact outside permitted channels.


๐Ÿ“ซ Permitted Modes of Contact – Nothing More, Nothing Less

You may address me only via:

  • ✉ Unencrypted email

  • ๐Ÿ“ฎ Postal letter (Royal Mail only – no couriers, no doorstep appearances)

All other contact methods — verbal, encrypted, or physical — are deemed unlawful and will be documented accordingly.
