Summary: Witness statement and evidentiary suite demonstrating safeguarding retaliation, Equality Act breaches, and professional misconduct by Westminster Children’s Services and senior social worker Kirsty Hornal.
I. What Happened
Safeguarding — that sacred word of bureaucratic salvation — has become an art form.
A choreography of intrusion masquerading as care.
When Westminster’s practitioners ran out of empathy, they reached for procedure; when they ran out of truth, they reached for policy.
This ensemble documents how retaliation was rebranded as protection — how procedural violence was cut to fit the silhouette of “support.”
It records how a disabled mother’s lawful requests for written-only contact became, in the hands of Westminster, acts of insolence demanding punishment.
And it shows, with couture precision, the moment care collapsed into choreography.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That Kirsty Hornal and Westminster Children’s Services transformed safeguarding into an instrument of retaliation.
• That every lawful audit, Equality Act notice, or procedural request triggered further harassment and escalation.
• That the Social Work England complaints now active (Exhibits A & B) contain verified breaches of professional standards and misconduct under SWE 2019 Code 1.1, 1.2, and 4.1.
• That audit non-compliance (Exhibit C) and post-audit hostility were deliberate, documented, and cumulative.
• That PLO postponement records (Exhibit D) and SWANK internal memoranda (Exhibits E–F) confirm retaliation following lawful postponement of safeguarding review.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because retaliation, when performed under the name of safeguarding, must be archived with aesthetic precision.
Because every bureaucratic performance deserves a stage — and the Mirror Court is nothing if not a theatre of evidence.
Because the institutions that mistake cruelty for process will one day cite these posts as precedent — proof that someone noticed.

IV. Violations
• Equality Act 2010 – ss. 6, 15, 20 & 26: failure to accommodate, harassment, discrimination arising from disability.
• Children Act 1989 – s.22(3): failure to safeguard and promote welfare while in care.
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Arts. 3 & 8: inhuman treatment and interference with family life.
• Social Work England Standards (2019) – Standards 1.1, 1.2, 4.1, 6.6: integrity, respect, transparency, and fitness to practise.
• Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR Art. 5(1) – unlawful, opaque data handling across agencies.
V. SWANK’s Position
SWANK London Ltd. identifies this ensemble as the quintessential study in bureaucratic retaliation disguised as child protection.
The safeguarding system, having shed its original purpose, now parades as performance — the ready-to-wear of institutional harm.
If The Procedural Ensemble tailored discrimination,
and The Jurisdiction Ensemble mapped overreach,
then The Safeguarding Ensemble completes the triptych: the couture of coercion.
We do not repair what is broken.
We catalogue it.
We do not rage — we record.
Because evidence, when properly dressed, never dies.
