“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

  • Summary: A chronicle of bureaucratic bias, discrimination, and retaliatory mismanagement masquerading as “safeguarding.”


I. The Grand Narrative of Falsehoods

Once a whisper of “instability” or “intoxication” entered their paperwork, it metastasised into gospel.
Medical fact — blood oxygen at 44%, hereditary asthma, dysphonia — all transfigured into neglect, because truth is too inconvenient when a bureaucracy prefers its own fiction.


II. The Cult of Defensiveness

Where an honest institution might apologise, Westminster invents. Each error becomes the seed of another. Lies beget lies, and accountability is perpetually deferred in favour of fabrication.


III. The Theatre of Procedural Cruelty

What is “contact” if birthdays are blocked, traditions denied, and affectionate moments policed?
They rename asthma “behavioural,” fatigue “mental illness,” and love “undermining.” This is not safeguarding — it is dramaturgy of control.


IV. Disability as Scapegoat

Severe eosinophilic asthma becomes a psychiatric myth.
Heir is falsely cast as dyslexic. Prerogative’s breathlessness pathologised into imagined neurosis.
This is not child welfare. It is the recycling of discrimination, in breach of the Equality Act 2010 and Articles 8 & 14 ECHR.


V. Retaliation as Governance

Each time the Director asserts her rights, the hostility sharpens. “Safeguarding” becomes retribution; welfare plans become punitive scripts.


VI. The Silenced Children

When children speak — “school is too much,” “we want to celebrate birthdays” — their voices are twisted into pathologies.
Their reality is ignored so the Local Authority’s fiction can continue.


VII. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept these failures as mistakes.
We log them as systemic.
We file them as deliberate.
We publish them so no official can pretend ignorance.
