Email from Sam Brown (Westminster) requesting an in-home Child in Need visit — despite ongoing legal proceedings, regulatory complaints, and a history of procedural abuse under the Public Law Outline.
I. What Happened
On 16 May 2025, Sam Brown, Deputy Service Manager at Westminster, sent a politely composed but structurally coercive email proposing a “Child in Need” (CIN) visit. The message:
Acknowledges the family's active legal case — but insists the CIN process is “separate”
Softens statutory pressure into language about “support” and “keeping in touch”
Offers a single-date appointment with no option for written-only substitution
Completely ignores prior communication boundaries and emotional harm
Treats safeguarding oversight as an unchallenged default, rather than a legally-contested threat
The result is a strategic shift in tone — from formal PLO retaliation to smiling statutory re-entry.
II. What the Document Establishes
Westminster is attempting to repackage PLO-level interference as CIN-level concern
Procedural overreach is now cloaked in language of “care”
Legal conflict is being consciously compartmentalised to justify continued presence
Disability adjustments (e.g. written-only communication) are being bypassed via format change
The same officials under regulatory complaint are still attempting contact
III. Why SWANK Filed It
This is not collaboration. It is administrative gaslighting. A statutory body accused of misconduct, currently under active complaint and judicial review, does not get to rebrand its interference as neutral “contact.” The letter reveals that Westminster is not standing down — they are changing uniform.
SWANK archived this document to:
Prove that post-PLO safeguarding activity continued under new names and justifications
Show how state actors use CIN to reinvade families under investigation
Expose the institutional refusal to honour trauma, legal boundaries, or reasonable accommodations
IV. Violations
Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 20, 27 (disability discrimination, failure to adjust, victimisation)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (fair hearing), Article 14 (non-discrimination)
Children Act 1989 – Section 17 (misuse of CIN for surveillance, not support)
UNCRC – Article 23 (disabled family rights), Article 16 (protection from intrusion)
Social Work England Standards – Ethical boundary violations, disregard of active complaints
V. SWANK’s Position
Westminster’s safeguarding tactics have evolved — but not improved. A coercive visit under CIN is no less harmful than one under PLO. If anything, it is more insidious: it arrives under the banner of care while continuing to deny lived experience, legal protection, and accountability.
SWANK London Ltd. calls for:
A moratorium on all in-person visits while legal and regulatory proceedings are active
Written-only communication reinstated and honoured
Investigation into CIN misuse as a backchannel for procedural retaliation
