⟡ How Many Social Workers Does It Take to Trigger a National Complaint? ⟡
Apparently: five. With supervision.

A formal Fitness to Practise complaint to Social Work England against multiple Westminster-affiliated social workers, citing misconduct, procedural abuse, and statutory non-compliance.

I. What Happened

After a year of threats disguised as safeguarding, coercive escalation, falsified rationale, and coordinated institutional silencing —
the mother filed this:
A full complaint to Social Work England naming each actor, outlining their violations, and demanding removal.
The filing is not emotional. It is evidentiary.
The claims are not speculative. They are timestamped.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Kirsty Hornal, Edward Kendall, and other named actors demonstrated repeated unfitness to practice
That these actors used safeguarding to retaliate against disability, whistleblowing, and lawful documentation
That false allegations, coercive tactics, and refusal to accommodate disabilities were routine
That supervision was absent, complicit, or both

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because malpractice is not an accident when it's part of the plan.
Because silence from Social Work England is no longer legally defensible.
And because if a parent behaved like this, they’d already be in court.

IV. Violations Identified

Fitness to Practise Violations Across Multiple Social Workers
Disability Discrimination
Falsification of Risk Narrative
Retaliatory Safeguarding
Failure of Supervision and Oversight

V. SWANK’s Position

This is no longer about one mother.
It is about a team of professionals who used state power as a personal weapon.
It is about a regulatory body that can no longer pretend not to see.
They were named.
They were timestamped.
They are now on record.

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.

🕯 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 décor:

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

🎭 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.

🗂 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

🧾 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.

Yours, exquisitely unimpressed,
