“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

This is the Stage 1 complaint response from Westminster's North West Social Work Team, dismissing every disability disclosure, pattern of retaliation, and safeguarding misuse with a tone that could only be described as “politely delusional.” It’s what happens when a government body pretends empathy is an eraser.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint — supported by police reports, medical records, and ten years of demonstrable abuse.
Westminster replied:

  • That Kirsty Hornal felt the visit was "productive"

  • That “escalation” only happens when families don’t cooperate

  • That mask-wearing was proof of accommodation

  • That they see no misconduct — but offered a phone call anyway

When in doubt: smile, deny, and suggest Zoom.


II. What the Response Establishes

  • That Westminster refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing by Kirsty Hornal or the safeguarding team

  • That the harm reported was reframed as misunderstanding

  • That retaliation was repackaged as “escalation” due to lack of cooperation

  • That the decade-long trauma was ignored with a façade of politeness

  • That institutional abuse is still being handled like a customer service issue


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because “we see no harm” is not an investigation.
Because when the system erases evidence with tone, the only thing left is a public record.
Because when they offered to “discuss it by phone,” they forgot Polly Chromatic is medically exempt from speech — and already documented why.

This isn’t engagement. It’s evasion.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Misrepresentation of documented disability complaints as “concerns”

  • Failure to address retaliation patterns across agencies

  • Disregard of police involvement and medical risk reports

  • Refusal to implement or review accessibility and procedural safeguards

  • Procedural gaslighting disguised as courtesy


V. SWANK’s Position

Polly filed a complaint.
They filed a reply — with empty paragraphs and no admission.
She didn’t ask for an apology.
She asked for accountability.

And now, she has a timestamp.
And they have a PDF.
