Response to PLO letter issued by Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, asserting disability rights and addressing each safeguarding claim with precision
I. What Happened
On 15 April 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal rebuttal to Westminster’s PLO pre-proceedings letter dated 14 April 2025. The original letter was signed by Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, despite:
No prior disclosure of a completed Child in Need outcome
Ongoing retaliation following police reports filed by Polly
Repeated, documented violations of her disability access rights
The PLO allegations — from educational concern to false claims of erratic behaviour — were systematically dismantled in this written reply, which also reaffirmed Polly’s legal position under the Equality Act 2010, Children Act 1989, and Human Rights Act 1998.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Procedural breaches: Escalation without closing documentation or transparent threshold rationale
Human impact: Severe deterioration in health from repeated verbal demands, trauma escalation, and harassment
Power dynamics: Safeguarding invoked not for safety — but in retaliation for lawful resistance
Institutional failure: Ignoring clear evidence and prior internal acknowledgements in order to justify surveillance
Unacceptable conduct: Recasting educational success and medical silence as risk indicators
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because every allegation in this PLO was addressed — with documents, video, and law.
Because the very same department that cited homeschooling as concern had praised it in writing.
Because sewer gas, asthma, and abuse history were not facts to be addressed — they were tools to be inverted.
Because the safeguarding logic wasn’t logic. It was leverage.
This post is not a rebuttal. It’s an archive of refusal — to be intimidated, pathologised, or erased.
IV. Violations
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 21, 27 – denial of communication accommodations; retaliatory safeguarding
Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to promote well-being; misapplication of escalation
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – procedural unfairness; interference with family and private life
Social Work England Standards, 3.1, 5.1 – institutional harm; discriminatory process management
V. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept that PLO letters can substitute for fact.
We do not accept that silence caused by medical need is “non-engagement.”
We do not accept that disability, once disclosed, can be used as pretext for escalation.
This wasn’t risk management.
It was reputation defense masquerading as child protection.
And now, it is timestamped — by the one who refused to play along.
