Summary: Formal refusal to sign Westminster’s unlawful “Working Agreement” on medical, equality, and procedural grounds following hostile contact-centre conduct.

I. What Happened

On 25 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued an official rejection of Westminster City Council’s proposed “Working Agreement” — a document that attempted to rebrand coercion as cooperation.
The Council and its subcontractor, EveryChild Contact Centre, demanded compliance with discriminatory restrictions under threat of contact suspension.
The proposal followed a medically verified asthma episode induced by Westminster’s own contact-centre environment, thereby confirming both foreseeable harm and institutional irony.

The response, sent to the Local Authority, its legal services, its international observers, and nearly every oversight body capable of embarrassment, declared the agreement void ab initio — a nullity wrapped in stationery.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That Westminster attempted to impose unlawful “terms” upon a disabled parent already injured by its venue.
• That coercing attendance at a medically unsafe environment constitutes both direct discrimination and foreseeable negligence.
• That conditioning parental contact on compliance with such terms represents retaliation under s.27 Equality Act 2010.
• That any bureaucrat who utters “it’s just policy” should immediately be referred to the Parliamentary History of the Equality Act, pages 1–entire.
• That no public servant may outsource cruelty and call it procedure.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because “Working Agreements” drafted under duress belong in exhibits, not archives.
Because Westminster’s correspondence reads less like governance and more like performance art in denial of oxygen.
Because when administrative coercion meets legal literacy, the result is not compliance — it is documentation.

SWANK logged it as Exhibit 051 in the Equality and Welfare Breach Index, a record of the civilised refusal to dignify misconduct with a signature.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Equality Act 2010 – ss.20, 29, 149, and 27: Reasonable adjustments, non-discrimination, Public Sector Equality Duty, protected acts
• Children Act 1989 – Welfare principle and duty to promote contact
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8: Family life; Art.3: Protection from degrading treatment
• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – Foreseeable harm prevention
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) – Duty to protect health, dignity, and welfare

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not a “Working Agreement.”
This is a bureaucratic hallucination masquerading as procedure — a contract of capitulation drafted by an institution allergic to law.

SWANK rejects Westminster’s attempt to redefine equality as inconvenience.
We reject the aesthetic of compliance as morality.
We will continue to document every instance in which public servants mistake coercion for competence — until Westminster learns that the signature of the oppressed does not validate the unlawful.

PC-200058: On the Ethics of Supervision and the Aesthetics of Refusal

⟡ Video Contact and Withdrawal of Consent re EveryChild ⟡

Summary: Notice of lawful withdrawal of consent from EveryChild Contact Centre following police involvement and procedural breach; request for alternate video contact venue under statutory equality and safeguarding law.

I. What Happened

On 25 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued formal notice to Westminster City Council confirming withdrawal of consent for EveryChild Contact Centre to host, supervise, or facilitate any future contact.

This decision followed the police incident of 24 October, which rendered the venue neither neutral nor lawful.
The correspondence demanded video contact arrangements for 28 October 2025, supervised directly by Westminster, and required confirmation of dial-in details and named supervisors by noon on 27 October.

In short: what Westminster calls “contact management,” SWANK recognises as institutional trespass with bureaucratic décor.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That consent for EveryChild’s involvement was lawfully withdrawn under duress and public-safety grounds.
• That Westminster remains bound by Children Act 1989 s.34 to promote contact, regardless of administrative embarrassment.
• That the Equality Act 2010 (ss.20–21 & 27) protects written communication and forbids retaliatory limitation of parental access.
• That procedural misconduct does not dissolve statutory obligation.
• That “EveryChild” has become the most ironic brand in contemporary safeguarding.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the right to family contact should not hinge upon the emotional stability of a subcontractor.
Because no mother should require police evidence to justify breathing space.
Because when a venue becomes an instrument of coercion, the withdrawal of consent is not defiance — it is jurisdictional hygiene.

SWANK logged this correspondence as an act of refusal elevated to record — a study in administrative disentanglement, conducted in accordance with law and contempt alike.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – s.34: Duty to promote contact
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8: Right to family life
• Equality Act 2010 – ss.20–21 (reasonable adjustments), s.27 (protected acts)
• Public Law Principles – Prohibition on coercion, procedural fairness, and proportionality
• Safeguarding Standards – Requirement of neutrality, non-retaliation, and medical accommodation

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “a preference for another venue.”
This is the lawful retraction of consent from an unsafe institution masquerading as care.

SWANK rejects the illusion that subcontracted supervision absolves the Council of liability.
We reject the moral contortion that equates compliance with safeguarding.
We will continue to document every inch of bureaucratic theatre in which public servants confuse control with welfare — and record it, gorgeously, for the archive.

PC-201: The Bureaucratic Theatre of Withheld Children

⟡ Contact Scheduling Reminder ⟡

Summary: Formal notice addressing Westminster’s procedural obstruction and coercive conduct preventing lawful parental contact on 22 and 24 October 2025.

I. What Happened

Between 22 and 24 October 2025, Westminster transformed the simple act of seeing one’s own children into a procedural obstacle course.
First, contact was unilaterally cancelled on the fabricated premise of “rule-breaking” — rules that, like Westminster’s accountability, have yet to materialise in writing.

Two days later, at the EveryChild Contact Centre, staff introduced a new theatrical prop: a last-minute document, presented thirty minutes before the session, and accompanied by the ultimatum, sign or lose your children.
Polly Chromatic declined the illegal ultimatum and offered compromise after compromise — each refused, each revealing Westminster’s true sport: coercion dressed as care.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That parental contact was obstructed by administrative fiction, not lawful order.
• That coercive signing demands under duress constitute harassment, blackmail, and procedural fraud.
• That the Local Authority’s refusal to define or disclose its “rules” renders all enforcement acts void.
• That the conduct of EveryChild staff demonstrates Westminster’s ongoing addiction to bureaucratic control over lawful care.
• That “procedural compliance” has become a euphemism for ritual humiliation.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because parental contact is not a favour; it is a statutory baseline.
Because Westminster has mistaken its paperwork for power and its silence for law.
Because each obstructed meeting documents not parental fault, but institutional narcissism in administrative form.

SWANK logged it as Exhibit 201 in the Retaliation Noir Collection — a study in how public servants convert duty into theatre, and compassion into compliance scripts.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – ss.1, 17, and 22: Duty to safeguard and promote welfare
• Equality Act 2010 – ss.20 & 26: Failure to make reasonable adjustments; harassment related to disability
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8: Interference with family life
• Family Court Direction (3 October 2025) – Order for progression toward community contact
• Public Law Principles – Prohibition on coercion, requirement for transparency

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “a misunderstanding at the contact centre.”
This is Westminster’s continuing performance of control: theatre without ethics, policy without law.

SWANK rejects the coercive use of documentation as leverage against lawful parenthood.
We reject the bureaucratic fantasy that duty can be suspended by convenience.
We will continue to catalogue, with surgical diction, every attempt to bureaucratise emotional cruelty.

PC-74219: Respiratory Jurisprudence and the Administrative Collapse of Duty

⟡ Formal Summary of Legal and Medical Breaches ⟡

Summary: Master summary of statutory, procedural, and medical breaches arising from Westminster’s unlawful handling of a disabled family affected by Eosinophilic Asthma.

I. What Happened

On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a Formal Summary to Westminster City Council enumerating its principal violations of medical, equality, and welfare law.
The correspondence consolidates weeks of incident reports into a single act of procedural indictment — the moment where administrative inertia met medical fact and lost.

The letter was sent to legal services, the duty inbox, and the complaints department — an audience selected not for receptivity, but for accountability.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That Westminster has breached Equality Act 2010 ss.20, 26 & 27 by failing to make reasonable adjustments and by engaging in retaliatory conduct following protected acts.
• That the Children Act 1989 ss.1 & 17 was violated through the removal and continued restriction of contact without regard to medical stability or judicial instruction.
• That Human Rights Act 1998 Art.8 rights have been infringed through disproportionate interference with family life.
• That medical negligence occurred via the deliberate disregard of clinical evidence on Eosinophilic Asthma’s stress-reactive nature.
• That safeguarding powers were not merely misused — they were inverted, repurposed as tools of retaliation.
• That “institutional fatigue” is not a statutory defence, and “time constraints” are not a recognised exemption from law.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because negligence, when performed rhythmically enough, begins to sound like governance.
Because the Local Authority appears to believe that exhaustion is a legal argument.
Because the medical harm described here is not theoretical — it breathes, wheezes, and testifies.

SWANK logged it to ensure that the choreography of failure is recorded in its entirety: every procedural misstep, every unlawful inhalation, every email that mistook efficiency for ethics.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Equality Act 2010 – ss.20, 26, 27 & 149
• Children Act 1989 – ss.1 & 17
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8
• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – General duty of care
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) – Prevention of health deterioration
• Judicial Direction (3 October 2025) – Mandate for community contact expansion

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “a service challenge.”
This is a systemic failure wearing the costume of procedure.

SWANK rejects Westminster’s attempt to rebrand retaliation as “process.”
We reject the myth that statutory compliance can be postponed until morale improves.
We will continue to document every bureaucratic sigh that places itself above the law — until Westminster learns that the oxygen of accountability is non-negotiable.

PC-200009: On the Genetic Uniformity of Institutional Incompetence

⟡ Clarification: Eosinophilic Asthma Affecting All Four Children ⟡

Download PDF: 2025-10-26_Core_PC-200009_Westminster_ClarificationEosinophilicAsthmaAllChildren.pdf
Summary: Clarification correcting the record to confirm that all four children suffer from Eosinophilic Asthma — rendering Westminster’s continued obstruction of medical routines both unlawful and medically reckless.

I. What Happened

On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal clarification to Westminster City Council correcting their apparent misunderstanding — or indifference — regarding her children’s medical status.

Previous correspondence had referred, mistakenly, to two children with Eosinophilic Asthma.
This document formally amends the record: all four children share the diagnosis, and thus, all four require equal medical accommodation.

The clarification was issued not to educate, but to prevent yet another predictable episode of bureaucratic amnesia.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That Eosinophilic Asthma is a chronic autoimmune disease, not a seasonal inconvenience.
• That the condition affects the entire sibling group, establishing systemic duty under the Children Act 1989.
• That failure to allow consistent peak-flow monitoring, medication, and nutritional stability constitutes a foreseeable medical hazard.
• That Westminster’s selective comprehension of medical fact now counts as procedural negligence by omission.
• That institutional ignorance, however evenly distributed, is not a reasonable adjustment.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because medical accuracy should not require aristocratic patience.
Because when four children share the same diagnosis, the Council’s confusion ceases to be clerical and becomes ideological.
Because the bureaucratic allergy to evidence has, ironically, become the family’s most persistent trigger.

SWANK logged it to remind Westminster that health literacy is not optional — it is statutory.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – ss.17 & 22: Safeguard and promote welfare
• Equality Act 2010 – s.20: Duty to make reasonable adjustments
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8: Respect for family and private life
• NHS Clinical Standards (BTS/NICE) – Mandatory monitoring and continuity of care
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) – Duty to maintain health and prevent deterioration

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not a “clarification for completeness.”
This is a formal diagnosis of Westminster’s administrative asthma — chronic, recurring, and triggered by exposure to responsibility.

SWANK rejects the casual medical illiteracy that has become Westminster’s signature treatment plan.
We reject the institutional habit of treating factual correction as defiance.
We will continue to document, with forensic courtesy, every instance where a public body confuses governance with guessing.

Summary: Clarification Addendum recording medical harm, causation, and ongoing statutory risk arising from Westminster’s coercive conduct at EveryChild Contact Centre on 24 October 2025.

I. What Happened

On 24 October 2025, during contact at EveryChild Contact Centre, Westminster’s coercive conduct provoked an acute Eosinophilic Asthma exacerbation in Polly Chromatic — a mother with a chronic autoimmune respiratory condition.

The next two days were spent navigating the predictable aftermath: restricted breathing, fatigue, and loss of voice.
The 26 October Addendum formally records the event as a medically evidenced injury caused by procedural hostilityand reiterates the legal requirement for written-only communication under Equality Act 2010 s.20.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That the 24 October contact session constituted a foreseeable and medically proximate harm incident.
• That Westminster’s coercive communication style now carries clinical contraindications.
• That “in-person insistence” equals “physical endangerment.”
• That the Local Authority, once notified of the risk, bears continuing liability for every wheeze that follows.
• That administrative aggression is not an occupational skillset — it is an equality breach with paperwork.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the phrase “hostile environment” should never be literal.
Because a contact centre should not double as a pulmonary test site.
Because the spectacle of public servants inducing respiratory failure while discussing “safeguarding” deserves archival eternity.

SWANK logged it to preserve the causal link between bureaucratic incompetence and biological reaction — an ongoing study in the anthropology of negligence.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – ss.17 & 47: Safeguard and promote welfare
• Equality Act 2010 – s.20 (reasonable adjustments), s.26 (harassment), s.149 (Public Sector Equality Duty)
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8 (right to family and bodily integrity)
• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – general duty to protect from foreseeable harm
• Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 – risk identification and prevention
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) – duty to maintain health and prevent deterioration

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “a personal reaction.”
This is physiological evidence of administrative malpractice — a breath-by-breath indictment of procedural hostility.

SWANK rejects the notion that equality adjustments are optional acts of courtesy.
We reject the self-delusion that coercion can be softened by civility.
We will continue to record, annotate, and display each exhalation that Westminster converts into evidence — for science, for statute, and for style.

Summary: Formal Equality & Safeguarding Notice establishing Westminster’s duty to permit medical devices and monitoring for a child diagnosed with Eosinophilic Asthma.

I. What Happened

On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a written Equality & Safeguarding Notice to Westminster City Council, clarifying the non-negotiable legality of her son King’s peak-flow monitoring and medical identification bracelet.

The letter followed reports that local authority staff or agents had discouraged or obstructed these basic medical safeguards.
The Notice sets out, with clinical and statutory precision, why breathing is not a policy variable.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That Eosinophilic Asthma is a chronic autoimmune disorder, not an allergy nor an attitude.
• That routine peak-flow readings are a clinical duty, not a parental indulgence.
• That obstructing a medical bracelet constitutes preventable risk creation.
• That Westminster, once notified of such risk, becomes the sole custodian of liability.
• That statutory compliance is not a courtesy — it is a respiratory necessity.
• That the Council’s recurring confusion between management preference and medical practice requires immediate therapeutic intervention (preferably via training, not litigation).

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a government that can complicate the wearing of a medical bracelet cannot be trusted with air.
Because negligence, when written in the language of procedure, still strangles.
Because this archive is both respirator and record — a ventilator for truth in the stagnant ward of municipal reasoning.

SWANK logged it to immortalise the absurdity of institutions debating lung function as though it were a matter of opinion.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – ss.17 & 47: Welfare and safeguarding duties
• Equality Act 2010 – ss.6, 20, 149 & Schedules 2 & 13: Disability definition, reasonable adjustments, anticipatory duty
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Art.8: Right to private and family life, bodily integrity
• Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 – General duty of care
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) – National standard for promoting health and preventing deterioration
• NHS England Severe Asthma Framework (2023) – Mandatory monitoring for severe eosinophilic asthma

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “parental over-caution.”
This is the anatomy of lawful care, recited for the benefit of those who mistake obstruction for professionalism.

SWANK rejects the institutional hobby of redefining disability accommodation as inconvenience.
We reject the belief that a bureaucratic chair can outweigh a child’s lungs.
We document each inhalation Westminster attempts to regulate — not for sentiment, but for statute.

PC-200030: Consent, Coercion, and the Administrative Imagination

⟡ Unlawful Pressure to Sign During Contact ⟡

Download PDF: 2025-10-26_Core_PC-200030_Westminster_UnlawfulPressureToSignDuringContact.pdf
Summary: Record of coercive conduct at EveryChild Contact Centre — staff demanded a signature under threat of cancelled contact, violating fundamental legal principles of consent, equality, and welfare.

I. What Happened

On 24 October 2025, at the EveryChild Contact Centre, Westminster staff attempted to compel Polly Chromatic to sign an unreviewed document, threatening cancellation of her children’s contact if she declined.

The incident was duly recorded and reported in writing on 26 October.
The act constituted procedural coercion — an institutional attempt to transform parental consent into compliance by intimidation.

In simpler terms: the Local Authority mistook fear for policy.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That compelled signature under threat is void, unlawful, and antithetical to informed consent.
• That such pressure constitutes harassment related to disability (Equality Act 2010, s.26).
• That coercion within a safeguarding context subverts the Children Act 1989 itself — the very statute Westminster claims to uphold.
• That local authorities remain astonishingly unfamiliar with the elementary concept that lawful authority and convenience are not synonyms.
• That the incident forms a live example of Westminster’s institutional misunderstanding of process as punishment.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because no legal civilisation should require a parent to remind its officials that signatures obtained under duress do not bind.
Because coercion has become the administrative dialect of the untrained.
Because Westminster appears to confuse paperwork with permission.

This entry is therefore retained as a specimen of bureaucratic misconduct under duress — a form of civil service pathology more commonly observed in autocracies and training exercises.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – Welfare paramountcy and parental participation
• Equality Act 2010 – s.20 (reasonable adjustments); s.26 (harassment related to disability)
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (right to family life)
• Administrative Law Principles – Consent, fairness, and natural justice
• Medical Ethics – Informed consent and autonomy

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “a procedural misunderstanding.”
This is an act of intimidation, cloaked in stationery.

SWANK rejects the institutional fetish for signatures as substitutes for comprehension.
We reject the notion that parental rights can be bartered at the reception desk of a contact centre.
We will document — with ceremonial precision — every moment when bureaucracy mistakes obedience for consent, and courtesy for capitulation.

PC-200037: The Administrative Temptation to Terrorise

Summary: Formal notice forbidding Westminster from employing coercion, intimidation, or retaliatory restrictions contrary to judicial direction and statutory law.

I. What Happened

On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a Formal Notice to Westminster City Council warning that the continued use of intimidation, emotional blackmail, and retaliatory threats against her and her children was unlawful.
The letter, delivered to the duty inbox, legal services, and complaints division, followed a pattern of hostility that conveniently emerged after lawful Equality-Act and procedural objections had been raised.

Such conduct, far from accidental, revealed Westminster’s ongoing confusion between authority and autocracy.
The notice therefore re-established, in writing, the parameters of lawful governance: restraint, not retaliation.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That any threat to restrict contact constitutes an Equality-Act breach and a violation of judicial direction dated 3 October 2025.
• That stress-inducing conduct toward a party with Eosinophilic Asthma amounts to foreseeable medical endangerment and unlawful harassment under s.26 Equality Act 2010.
• That coercion is neither a management style nor a safeguarding measure; it is misconduct in public office when exercised in defiance of statutory limits.
• That “policy habit” has again been mistaken for competence — Westminster’s favourite substitution.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the archive must distinguish legal service from civil service pageantry.
Because every bureaucrat who weaponises procedure against a parent demonstrates precisely why evidentiary archives must exist.
Because no child’s welfare is advanced by adults confusing hierarchy with holiness.
This entry joins the Retaliation Noir Core as the archetype of bureaucratic fragility in the face of accountability.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 s.1 – Paramountcy of welfare
• Equality Act 2010 ss.20 & 26 – Reasonable adjustments & harassment
• Human Rights Act 1998 Art. 8 – Family life
• Public Sector Equality Duty s.149 – Eliminate discrimination, foster good relations
• Common Law – Prohibition on malice in public function

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “firm communication.”
This is coercion dressed in managerial syntax — and it remains unlawful, however politely typed.

SWANK does not recognise intimidation as a child-protection method.
We reject the premise that procedural aggression is professionalism.
We will continue to log, dissect, and publish each instance where fear is used as governance, until fear itself resigns.

Summary: Formal Equality-Act request to restore community contact consistent with judicial direction and family tradition.

I. What Happened

On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal written request to Westminster’s duty inbox, legal division, and complaints service, seeking authorisation for community contact on 31 October 2025 at Phillimore Gardens — the family’s traditional Halloween route.

The application was made pursuant to the 3 October 2025 judicial note, which directed progression to community contact following positive review feedback.
That threshold having been met, Westminster’s further hesitation would have no legal footing.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That lawful authorisation for community contact already exists under the court’s direction of 3 October 2025.
• That outdoor contact constitutes a reasonable adjustment under Equality Act 2010 s.20, satisfying the Public Sector Equality Duty (s.149).
• That Westminster’s refusal or delay would amount to deviation from judicial instruction and potential Article 8interference.
• That continuity of family custom — even when expressed as Halloween civility — is a matter of welfare, not whimsy.
• That every local authority should aspire to understand the difference between child protection and institutional obstruction.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

To preserve the record of a mother requesting, not indulgence, but parity — and being met with the glacial pace of bureaucratic incomprehension.
To evidence how community contact, a right grounded in both welfare law and respiratory medicine, is treated as a negotiation rather than a necessity.
To remind Westminster that jurisprudence does not pause for costume season.

This entry joins the Contact-Governance Index as Exhibit 41: Seasonal Refusal Syndrome.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 ss.17 & 47 – Welfare and safeguarding duties.
• Equality Act 2010 ss.20 & 149 – Reasonable adjustments and public-sector duty.
• UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Arts. 9 & 31 – Right to family connection and cultural life.
• Human Rights Act 1998 Art. 8 – Respect for family life.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not a “Halloween request.”
This is the lawful reassertion of family participation in civic life — the elementary entitlement Westminster keeps mistaking for administrative favour.

SWANK rejects the notion that parental affection must await bureaucratic permission slips.
We reject the inversion of judicial hierarchy that places “internal review” above “court order.”
We document, with mirthful precision, every occasion where local authority decorum attempts to masquerade as law.

Summary: Formal notice alleging cultural, nutritional, and medical interference within Westminster-commissioned foster care.

I. What Happened

On 26 October 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a written equality and safeguarding complaint to Westminster’s duty mailbox and legal division.
The report documented foster-carer prohibitions not authorised by court order or care plan, including:
• bans on family discussion;
• obstruction of medical monitoring (peak-flow tests);
• restriction of meat consumption; and
• refusal to allow food to leave contact sessions.
The correspondence was sent to legal.services@westminster.gov.uk and complaints@westminster.gov.uk for immediate remedial action.

II. What the Document Establishes

• Breach of statutory duties under Children Act 1989 (ss.17, 22, 22C(7)(c))
• Violation of Care Planning and Fostering Services Regulations (2010–2011)
• Potential disability discrimination contrary to Equality Act 2010 (ss.20 & 149)
• Evidence of institutional delegation of unlawful authority to private carers
• Interference with medical management of eosinophilic asthma
• Cultural disruption through unauthorised dietary prohibitions
• Illustration of the pattern SWANK terms custom mistaken for competence

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• To record a clear example of local-authority misapplication of policy as law
• To preserve evidence of Equality Act breaches affecting disabled children
• To educate future public-law students on the difference between “policy comfort” and statutory obligation
• To maintain continuity within the Retaliation Noir series of placement violations
• To demonstrate how familial identity rights erode under bureaucratic taste management

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 ss.17, 22, 22C(7)(c)
• Care Planning, Placement and Case Review Regulations 2010 regs 9, 15 & 17
• Fostering Services Regulations 2011 regs 12, 15 & 17
• Equality Act 2010 ss.20 & 149
• Human Rights Act 1998 Art. 8 — Right to family life
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) para 1.21 — emotional-harm risk

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not a “dietary preference dispute.”
This is a documented instance of statutory breach and cultural injury by proxy.

SWANK does not accept the habitual equation of internal policy with law.
We reject any use of placement conditions to mediate parental expression or medical compliance.
We will continue to document each episode where welfare rhetoric is used as cover for institutional control.
