Logged availability for scheduled contact session; institutional party failed to initiate.
I. What Happened
At 9:55 AM on 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic, litigant-in-person and mother of four, formally logged her readiness for a scheduled contact session with her children. She issued immediate confirmation of her availability to Westminster Children’s Services, explicitly copying officers Samuel Brown and Kirsty Hornal, along with legal and complaint contacts. No response was received. No session was initiated. No justification was offered.
The children were waiting. The mother was present. The institution was absent.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Contact arrangements are being procedurally eroded through non-responsiveness.
Westminster officers failed to initiate or even acknowledge a pre-scheduled session.
The litigant provided clear, advance confirmation and complied with all terms.
There is no legitimate basis for the absence — only administrative indifference.
Children were denied meaningful contact with a parent not by law, but by logistics.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because missed calls are not clerical accidents — they are acts of emotional attrition.
Because when a mother confirms attendance and is ignored, contact becomes punishment, not protection.
Because silence from the state is not neutrality. It is a form of structural interference.
Because every absence from Westminster is a presence in the record.
And because SWANK does not record for sympathy. It records for court.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, §34 – Duty to facilitate contact between parent and child
Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 8 – Right to family life
Equality Act 2010, §149 – Ongoing pattern of discriminatory treatment by omission
Public Law Outline (PLO) – Failure to meet local authority procedural duties for contact
V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t a delay. It was erasure, disguised as forgetfulness.
We do not accept absences rewritten as "oversight."
We do not accept a missed call as an acceptable severance.
We do not accept institutions that demand accountability from parents but offer none in return.
She showed up. They did not. The log will outlive the excuse.
