“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

Re: Educational Continuity (Children) [2025] SWANK Add-Educ 0625 False Allegations of Neglect Under Procedural Duress

⟡ "Not a Disruption – A Deliberate Derailment" ⟡
The lie that the children were ‘not being educated’ was not a misunderstanding. It was an institutional tactic – staged and signed.

Filed: 30 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMCOURT/ADD-EDUC-0625

Formal rebuttal of Westminster’s educational neglect claim; documents safeguarding retaliation and institutional disruption of home education.


I. What Happened
Between October 2023 and June 2025, Polly Chromatic maintained an active home education provision for her four children despite repeated trauma, housing displacement due to environmental poisoning, and relentless institutional harassment.
Throughout this period:
– Children were taught daily at home, even during hotel residence.
– Recurrent illness followed unannounced visits by Westminster Children’s Services.
– Social worker Kirsty Hornal led a campaign of procedural escalation, harassment, and destabilisation.
– Two false PLO letters were issued.
– On 23 June 2025, Westminster forcibly removed the children mid-lesson, shattering the education they claimed to be protecting.


II. What the Complaint Establishes
– Procedural Breaches: Misuse of PLO threats, failure to uphold disability accommodations, harassment ignored by police and unremedied institutionally.
– Human Impact: Repeated illness, emotional distress, and ultimately a state-initiated educational rupture.
– Power Dynamics: A lone mother under siege, accused of the consequences of others’ misconduct.
– Institutional Failure: Education was not neglected – it was disrupted by the very bodies now pretending to rescue it.
— This was not a child protection issue. It was a bureaucratic campaign.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because silence would ratify the tactic. Because to ignore this is to accept that institutions may:
– Undermine education, then accuse the parent of neglect.
– Harass families into procedural failure, then cite it as evidence.
– Weaponise safeguarding language to erase maternal legitimacy.
This is not a misunderstanding. It is a pattern – and one we will archive, every time.


IV. Violations
– Equality Act 2010 – failure to provide reasonable accommodations; active discrimination.
– Article 8 ECHR – breach of the right to family life through forced removal and procedural aggression.
– Education Act 1996 – misrepresentation of lawful home education as ‘failure’.
– Public Law Principles – abuse of process, bad faith, and retaliatory conduct by statutory officers.


V. SWANK’s Position
The education was never absent. The interference was.
The children were learning – until Kirsty Hornal made it impossible.
We will not tolerate safeguarding being inverted into surveillance.
We will not accept social work weaponised as narrative control.
We will not let trauma be retold as ‘failure to engage’.

They Called It Support. Social Work England Called It Misconduct.



⟡ “Three Officers. Three Case Numbers. One Investigation Too Late.” ⟡
Social Work England opens formal misconduct complaints into the leadership of Westminster Children’s Services — confirming what the evidence already proved.

Filed: 28 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/SWE/TRIAGE-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-28_SWANK_Email_SWE_TriageConfirmation_HornalNewmanBrown_CON9964-9966.pdf
Official email from Social Work England confirming active misconduct cases against Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and Sam Brown — now under formal triage review.


I. What Happened

On 28 April 2025, Social Work England (SWE) issued this triage confirmation email to Polly Chromatic. The message affirms that not one — but three separate case files have been opened against senior Westminster officers:

  • CON-9964 – Kirsty Hornal

  • CON-9965 – Sarah Newman

  • CON-9966 – Sam Brown

Each case corresponds to a separate complaint filed for:

  • Procedural abuse

  • Disability discrimination

  • PLO retaliation

  • Emotional harm

  • Factual misrepresentation

  • Regulatory neglect

This isn’t internal conflict. This is regulatory collapse in motion — confirmed.


II. What the Document Establishes

  • SWE acknowledges that all three complaints meet the triage threshold for formal review

  • Each named officer is under individual scrutiny, not grouped dismissal

  • Westminster’s top-tier safeguarding staff are now subject to external regulation

  • The timing aligns with PLO misuse, Equality Act breaches, and SWANK’s evidentiary archive

  • The Council’s claim of “support” is now publicly incompatible with active misconduct cases


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This document is a turning point. For months, SWANK recorded what Westminster denied: that harm was done, boundaries were crossed, and laws were broken. Now, Social Work England has agreed — at least enough to launch three case reviews. This isn’t vindication. It’s verification.

SWANK archived this email to:

  • Establish formal regulatory recognition of institutional misconduct

  • Validate the scope and seriousness of the original complaints

  • Position this moment as the official beginning of accountability — no longer theoretical, but procedural


IV. Violations Under Review

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination, victimisation, failure to adjust

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Family life interference, fair process

  • Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm, misuse of safeguarding

  • Social Work England Professional Standards – Ethics, transparency, fairness, and accountability breaches

  • UK GDPR – Inaccurate or omitted data used to escalate statutory action


V. SWANK’s Position

The triage is just the beginning — but it proves everything that came before. When your complaints produce case numbers, your evidence becomes case law in waiting. Let no official ever again claim there was no merit, no harm, or no breach. This email proves: there were three.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

  • A full public update from SWE on the outcome of cases CON-9964 to CON-9966

  • Immediate suspension of the officers under investigation

  • Council-wide procedural reform in safeguarding escalation and PLO usage

⟡ Chromatic v PLO: When Escalation Was the Only Argument Left ⟡



⟡ “If You’re Going to Escalate, At Least Explain Why.” ⟡
Email to Hornal and senior officials demanding justification for PLO referral amid medical crisis and lawful action

Filed: 21 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/PLO-ESCALATION-CHALLENGE
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-21_SWANK_Email_PLOReferral_Hornal_RetaliationQuery.pdf
Email raising formal objections to unexplained PLO escalation by Kirsty Hornal, questioning procedural lawfulness and intent


I. What Happened

On 21 April 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a detailed challenge email to Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal, copying senior staff across Westminster, RBKC, NHS, and the Metropolitan Police. The email demanded an account of why PLO proceedings had been initiated following:

  • Her submission of legal claims and subject access requests

  • Ongoing medical crisis and disability documentation

  • Repeated requests for written-only communication

The escalation to PLO was made without new evidence, and in direct contradiction of prior agreements, medical facts, and safeguarding logic.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: PLO proceedings initiated without documented harm or updated justification

  • Human impact: Institutional pressure on a disabled parent during illness and litigation; retraumatisation of children

  • Power dynamics: Use of statutory escalation as a method of silencing and destabilising legal redress

  • Institutional failure: No evidence-based framework; no transparency; no lawful threshold applied

  • Unacceptable conduct: Treating a mother’s legal action as grounds for intervention escalation


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because there was no safeguarding risk — only safeguarding retaliation.
Because when officials are copied into an email asking “Why was this done?” and none of them respond, it’s a statement in itself.
Because this email showed the courage to name it directly: the PLO escalation was a political act, not a child protection one.

SWANK documented this as a moment of clarity: when a mother asked the question the system hoped she was too sick to ask.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 47 – misuse of statutory thresholds for personal or retaliatory motive

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 27 – refusal of reasonable adjustments; victimisation after protected acts

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – denial of due process; unlawful interference with family life

  • Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.3, 3.1, 5.1 – discriminatory practice and abuse of professional position


V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that legal action invites scrutiny.
We do not accept that procedural escalation can occur in the absence of risk.
We do not accept that disability and self-advocacy are grounds for suspicion.

This PLO was not an oversight. It was a response — to litigation, to resistance, to truth.

And now it is part of the archive.

When Ethics Are Breached, We File — Not Apologise.



⟡ Professional Misconduct is Not a Personality Quirk ⟡
When you ignore the law, disregard medical evidence, and call it safeguarding, we call it what it is: a complaint.

Filed: 16 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-09
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-16_SWANK_PLO_Kirsty_EthicalConductComplaint.pdf
A formal complaint identifying serious ethical breaches by Kirsty Hornal in her handling of pre-proceedings engagement with a disabled U.S. citizen parent.


I. What Happened

Instead of acknowledging medical documentation, Westminster social worker Kirsty Hornal escalated.
Instead of respecting disability accommodations, she initiated a PLO.
Instead of ensuring lawful participation, she manipulated procedural language to penalise silence.
This complaint outlines the institutional steps taken not to protect children, but to punish a mother for being disabled — and vocal.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Kirsty Hornal acted in defiance of established ethical and legal standards

  • That disability accommodations were repeatedly dismissed or ignored

  • That PLO proceedings were triggered in bad faith, without evidentiary basis

  • That her behaviour constitutes an abuse of public office under the guise of child protection


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because "just following procedure" is not a defence when the procedure is selectively enforced.
Because ethical codes are not optional depending on the service user's tone.
Because when a mother provides documentation and gets retaliation, something is rotten — not just in the case, but in the entire department.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Professional Misconduct

  • Disability Discrimination

  • Abuse of Safeguarding Procedures

  • Failure to Uphold Equality Duty

  • Misrepresentation of Statutory Criteria


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not about personality conflict. It is about structural retaliation sanctioned by silence.
When ethical codes are broken this flagrantly, no outcome reached under their breach can be lawful.
Kirsty Hornal cannot claim ignorance. She can only claim impunity.
This filing ensures she no longer has that either.

Chromatic v SWE: On the Administrative Obscuring of Medically Induced Harm by Process



⟡ The Regulator Who Needed It Rephrased to Recognise It as Harm ⟡
“Respiratory collapse must be correctly formatted to reach us.”

Filed: 18 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/SWE/PT10414-SARAHNEWMAN

Social Work England acknowledges complaint PT-10414 against Sarah Elizabeth Newman, requesting further clarification before deciding whether severe medical risk to children qualifies for investigation.

⟡ Chromatic v SWE: On the Administrative Obscuring of Medically Induced Harm by Process ⟡
SWE, Sarah Newman, respiratory harm, access breach, medical risk ignored, safeguarding escalation, complaint triage, structural disbelief


I. What Happened
On 18 June 2025, Social Work England issued an acknowledgment for complaint PT-10414 concerning social worker Sarah Elizabeth Newman, whose conduct allegedly included:

  • Refusal to provide written-only communication

  • Escalation to PLO proceedings without substantiated risk

  • Continued social work visits to immunocompromised children — knowingly inducing respiratory infections

Rather than proceed directly to investigation, SWE’s George Wicks sent a triage-stage request asking the complainant to confirm these details, re-summarise the harm, and confirm the legal permissibility of discussing Family Court matters — before SWE will decide whether children gasping for breath warrants professional scrutiny.


II. What the Reply Establishes

  • ⟡ Institutional disbelief sanitised as “triage”

  • ⟡ Medical risk framed as rhetorical ambiguity

  • ⟡ Failure to treat disability and immunocompromise as public interest concerns

  • ⟡ Contempt of court invoked before complaint is even read

  • ⟡ Structural obstruction performed with bureaucratic grace

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was procedural theatre with the curtain already drawn.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because “we may investigate, but only after you rephrase the oxygen crisis” is not regulation. It is dereliction. SWE does not dispute the infection. It disputes the format.

When the threshold for professional accountability is higher than the threshold for harm, we no longer call this “triage.”
We call it evidence.


IV. Violations and Jurisdictional Concerns

  • Equality Act 2010 – failure to respect and protect communication adjustments

  • Article 8 HRA – failure to preserve family and medical integrity

  • Children Act 1989 – breach of duty of care to known vulnerable minors

  • Regulatory negligence – delaying response to time-sensitive harm


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t inquiry. It was insulation.
This wasn’t caution. It was calibrated disbelief.
SWANK does not accept regulators who require medical harm to be politely proofed before review.
We do not rephrase breathing difficulty to accommodate filing systems.
And we will not await regulatory approval to describe what already happened.

When You Weaponise Procedure, the Procedure Becomes the Evidence.



⟡ A Complaint So Clear, Even the Ombudsman Can Understand It ⟡
“You ignored the law. Then you ignored the complaint. But you won’t ignore the record.”

Filed: 23 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC-WCC/LGSCO-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-23_SWANK_LGSCOComplaint_RBKC-WCC_PLODisabilityBreach.pdf
Formal complaint to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman detailing retaliatory safeguarding action, disability discrimination, and PLO escalation misuse.


I. What Happened

On 14 April 2025, a PLO letter was issued against a disabled mother of four, despite no findings of harm, neglect, or statutory breach after a year-long investigation.
That letter was sent just two months after she reported a social worker to police.

This complaint, filed on 23 April 2025, details a pattern of:

  • Retaliation following legal disclosures

  • Procedural misuse of safeguarding frameworks

  • Disability discrimination under Section 20 of the Equality Act 2010

  • Obstruction of closure and refusal to release lawful records

  • Repeated refusal to implement written-only communication despite clinical documentation

Five statutory requests.
Zero acknowledgements.
And still — no final report.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Misuse of safeguarding and PLO procedures as tools of institutional reprisal

  • Unlawful escalation against a disabled parent without evidentiary basis

  • Failure to implement mandated disability accommodations

  • Breach of procedural justice, transparency, and closure under both the Children Act and GDPR

  • Entrenched cultural resistance to SEND/EHE families asserting their legal rights


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because retaliatory safeguarding is not a safeguarding concern — it’s a governance concern.
Because forcing a disabled parent to “speak anyway” is not a support plan — it’s statutory misconduct.
Because after exhausting every internal complaint mechanism, the only thing left to escalate is the record itself.

This complaint is not a request for help.
It is a procedural audit in motion.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 breach (failure to implement reasonable adjustments)

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004 – Procedural failure to justify safeguarding escalation

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Interference with private/family life (Article 8), discrimination (Article 14)

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR – Withholding legally requested assessment and closure documentation

  • LGSCO Principles of Good Administration – Violated through delay, failure to provide reasons, and abuse of discretion


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not child protection.
It was procedural retaliation.

This was not oversight.
It was reputational damage control disguised as concern.

No findings. No closure. No accountability.
So the complaint became the evidence.
And the record — permanent.
