“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

In re Maternal Authority: Misogyny as Procedural Default



⟡ On Misogyny in Safeguarding Proceedings ⟡

Summary: Westminster substitutes stereotypes for evidence, reflecting systemic misogyny and undermining children’s welfare.


I. What Happened

In these proceedings, the Director’s authority as a mother has been systemically undermined. Structured planning of education and health was dismissed, chronic asthma reframed as weakness, and stereotypes of vice projected onto her. Meanwhile, a foster father’s casual assurance that the children “eat very well” was afforded greater credibility than years of documented maternal care.


II. What the Document Establishes

  • Maternal authority is consistently devalued in favour of unsubstantiated external testimony.

  • Chronic health conditions are weaponised rather than accommodated.

  • Misrepresentation by stereotype is a systemic tactic of institutional misogyny.

  • Prejudice against the mother directly destabilises the welfare of the children.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

  • Legal relevance: Proves systemic gender bias in safeguarding.

  • Educational precedent: Demonstrates projection as substitute for lawful evidence.

  • Historical preservation: Records misogyny as governing practice in Westminster’s safeguarding theatre.

  • Pattern recognition: Establishes link between maternal erasure and institutional retaliation.


IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – gender discrimination.

  • Children Act 1989 – welfare principle undermined.

  • ECHR Articles 8 & 14 – interference with family life and discrimination.

  • CEDAW, Article 5 – prohibition of gender stereotyping.

  • UNCRC, Article 2 – prohibition of discrimination against children based on parent’s status.

  • Re H and R (Child Sexual Abuse: Standard of Proof) [1996] AC 563 – reliance must be on evidence, not assumption.

  • Opuz v Turkey (2009) ECHR 33401/02 – systemic tolerance of gender bias breaches Article 14.


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not lawful safeguarding.
This is misogyny presented as procedure.

SWANK does not accept erasure of maternal authority.
SWANK rejects stereotypes as evidence.
SWANK documents misogyny as systemic misconduct, not incidental error.

Misogyny, when institutionalised, ceases to be bias and becomes policy.
