Summary: Written plea for legal assistance sent to H.G. O’Neill & Co., documenting three years of unlawful interference, harassment, and administrative incoherence by the Turks & Caicos Departments of Social Development and Education.

I. What Happened

• On 6 August 2020, Polly Chromatic emailed H.G. O’Neill & Co., a local law firm in Grand Turk, requesting representation or at minimum clarification regarding the legal basis for repeated state interference in her family’s homeschooling arrangement.
• She had previously obtained explicit approval to homeschool from Mark Garland (Department of Education), only to be accused by the Department of Social Development of truancy, neglect, and non-compliance with policies that did not, in fact, exist in writing.
• Over three years, she was confronted by the Truancy Officer, visited unannounced by Social Development, and forced into hospital examinations — where her sons were subjected to degrading and invasive procedures without lawful justification.
• The correspondence also records the Complaints Commission’s Kafkaesque intervention: an investigation into her complaint that, within a single meeting, reversed its purpose and found her “noncompliant” with a policy the state itself refused to produce.

II. What the Document Establishes

• Proof of prolonged administrative persecution disguised as safeguarding.
• Documentary evidence that the Department of Education could not locate, cite, or issue a Homeschool Policy yet demanded adherence to it.
• Cross-agency collusion between the Department of Social Development, Complaints Commission, and Attorney General’s Office, each contradicting the others while insisting on compliance.
• Confirmation that the parent repeatedly sought legal counsel and due process but found only institutional circularity.
• The structural absurdity of a system in which the state claims authority without authorship.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• It is the primary-source document of bureaucratic collapse — when “safeguarding” mutated into harassment.
• It reveals a colonial continuity of control, reframed as “policy development.”
• It embodies the central paradox of post-imperial administration: the rule of law without the bother of a rulebook.
• It provides jurisprudential grounding for all subsequent Equality Act, Human Rights Act, and UN CRPD filings under SWANK’s evidentiary catalogue.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Education Ordinance 2009 (TCI) — failure to issue or publish homeschool regulations.
• Children (Care and Protection) Ordinance 2015 s. 17(6) — unlawful interference absent cause or report disclosure.
• UN CRPD Articles 7 & 24 — rights of children with disabilities and access to inclusive education without coercion.
• ECHR Article 8 — interference with private and family life without legal basis.
• Equality Act 2010 s.26 (UK cross-reference) — harassment related to disability and belief.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “educational oversight.”
This is administrative choreography — theatre performed in uniforms.

• We do not accept procedural farce as governance.
• We reject circular bureaucracy as culture.
• We will archive every instance where “policy” is invoked as religion but printed nowhere.
