“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.

Chromatic v Westminster On the Misuse of Safeguarding Powers to Avert an Audit


Safeguarding as Self-Protection: Westminster’s Retaliatory EPO and Ofsted Oversight

Metadata

  • Filed: 18 August 2025

  • Reference: SWANK Addendum – Ofsted Complaint / Audit Retaliation

  • Filename: 2025-08-18_SWANK_Addendum_AuditEPO_OfstedComplaint.pdf

  • Summary: Complaint to Ofsted demonstrating how Westminster converted a lawful audit demand into an Emergency Protection Order, wielding safeguarding powers as a shield for institutional misconduct.

I. What Happened

  • 6 June 2025: Audit Demand submitted to Westminster Children’s Services, requesting disclosure of unlawful removals.

  • 7 June 2025: Westminster replied with a procedural threat instead of transparency.

  • 16 June 2025: Audit Follow-Up filed; still no disclosure.

  • 23 June 2025: An Emergency Protection Order was obtained and executed, removing four U.S. citizen children — not to protect, but to retaliate.

This sequence is less “child protection” and more bureaucratic muscle-flexing in response to scrutiny.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Ofsted is now seized of a case where safeguarding powers have been inverted into tools of self-protection and concealment.

  • That four children with asthma-related needs were not safeguarded, but weaponised as human shields against an Audit Demand.

  • That the Local Authority’s failures are systemic, not incidental — retaliation is policy by another name.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when safeguarding is deployed to deflect accountability, the welfare of children becomes collateral damage.
Because Ofsted must no longer measure compliance by paperwork, but by the smoke trail of retaliatory removals.
Because this is not one mother’s grievance but a test case of whether inspection regimes can penetrate bureaucratic self-interest.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – EPO powers abused for retaliation.

  • Article 8 ECHR – family life destroyed without proportional justification.

  • Equality Act 2010 – disability disclosures used as grounds for discrimination.

  • UNCRC & UNCRPD – systemic failure to respect international child welfare and disability obligations.

V. SWANK’s Position

Westminster has staged a performance of “safeguarding” in which the script is retaliation, the set-piece is removal, and the audience is expected to applaud.
SWANK does not applaud. It files.

By placing this misconduct before Ofsted, we ensure that Westminster’s misuse of power is subject to the very inspection it feared most: external, public, and unignorable.

Closing Declaration

This post exists because Westminster believed an Emergency Protection Order could silence an Audit Demand. Instead, it amplified it.
Safeguarding is not camouflage. Not here. Not in the SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue.
