Formal complaint to Westminster Council citing unlawful disability discrimination, PLO retaliation, and safeguarding misuse by Sam Brown and Kirsty Hornal — supported by legal evidence, medical records, and a digital archive.
I. What Happened
On 23 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a comprehensive complaint to Westminster City Council. The letter detailed a sequence of events that exposes Westminster’s PLO engagement as procedurally hollow, legally discriminatory, and retaliatory in design.
Key issues include:
Ignoring written communication mandates backed by clinical reports
Escalating to PLO after a social worker admitted there were no active safeguarding concerns
Causing respiratory illness and education disruption following sewer gas poisoning
Misrepresenting children’s emotional states contrary to recorded and participatory evidence
Withholding or omitting key evidence from internal records and correspondence
This isn’t just administrative oversight — it’s institutional defamation with statutory consequences.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Direct disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010
Safeguarding used as reprisal for complaints to hospitals and regulators
Emotional and educational harm to children caused by statutory harassment
Failure to document, disclose, or correct internal evidence
Public authority conduct marked by omission, escalation, and bad faith
III. Why SWANK Filed It
This is a canonical example of how public bodies convert complaint defence into safeguarding attack. Westminster responded to regulatory accountability not with reform, but with escalation. The family's health, education, and stability were sacrificed to preserve procedural face.
SWANK archived this complaint to:
Publicly expose Westminster’s weaponisation of PLO against a disabled parent
Document retaliation patterns following formal complaints
Build a foundation for Judicial Review, EHRC submission, and ombudsman proceedings
This isn’t just about what was done. It’s about how predictable, avoidable, and cruel it all was.
IV. Violations
Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (reasonable adjustments), Section 27 (victimisation), Section 149 (public duty)
Children Act 1989 – Section 22 (welfare of the child), misuse of child protection powers
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair process), Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)
UK GDPR – Failure to correct inaccurate data, omission of parent-supplied evidence
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Article 3 (best interests), Article 12 (right to be heard)
V. SWANK’s Position
When a safeguarding investigation is offered to be closed, then escalated a month later with no new facts — that’s not protection. That’s punishment. When you misreport a child’s emotional wellbeing while ignoring medical crises and cultural context, you don’t deserve public trust. You deserve public audit.
SWANK London Ltd. demands:
A formal internal investigation into both named officers
An official apology for discrimination, retaliation, and family harm
Written-only communication as standard protocol going forward
Full data transparency and procedural accountability under UK public law
