“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. Retrospective Concern – The Routine Email They Twisted into Risk



⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Catalogue

The Number That Didn’t Work and the Panic That Never Came: A Courteous School Email, Later Twisted Into Risk

Filed Date: 9 November 2022
Reference Code: SWANK-A22-DRAYTON-CONTACTCHECK
Court File Name: 2022-11-09_SWANK_Addendum_DraytonPark_ContactUpdateRoutine_NoSafeguardingConcern
1-line Summary: School follows up for updated phone number during house move — no risk noted, no alarm raised, contrary to later safeguarding narrative.


I. What Happened

On 9 November 2022, Annabelle Kapoor, Headteacher of Drayton Park Primary, emailed Polly Chromatic to follow up on a routine matter: the school’s need for updated contact details after Polly moved house.

The tone was informal, calm, and typical of a primary school environment:

  • “Just conscious that we don't have your new address…”

  • “The number we have seems to go to a dead tone…”

  • “We would want to be able to reach you quickly…”

  • “Looking forward to hearing back from you…”

Kapoor also mentions they would simply “chat at the end of the school day” if no reply came. There is no safeguarding alarm, no escalation, and no implied concern about parenting capacity or risk.

This message stands in direct contrast to the later safeguarding narrative — in which institutions would claim “inaccessibility,” “instability,” and “failure to engage.”


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That the school attempted contact in a routine and supportive way

  • That the tone was entirely non-accusatory

  • That this outreach occurred shortly after Polly had informed the school of her move

  • That the issue was simply a phone number update, not a cause for procedural intervention

  • That the school did not initiate any safeguarding referral based on this event


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because contact gaps during a house move are normal.
Because mothers aren’t allowed to move without the state claiming it’s instability.
Because this was not neglect — it was notification.
Because this email is Exhibit A in proving that Drayton Park did not view Polly as disengaged, unsafe, or evasive.


IV. Violations (By Omission and Misrepresentation)

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to consider actual school engagement records

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – Fabricated interference based on fictitious inaccessibility

  • Equality Act 2010 – Lack of disability accommodation in communication method

  • Public Law Misfeasance – Misuse of normal administrative contact as evidence of risk


V. SWANK’s Position

When the state wants a story, even a missing phone number becomes a narrative weapon.
This email proves there was no panic. No concern. Just a kind and efficient reminder from a headteacher who had a good relationship with the mother.

Drayton Park was never worried.
But Westminster needed a worry — so they invented one.
Now the record contradicts them.

This message was not a red flag.
It was a green one — the kind of daily communication that proves Polly was doing what good parents do: moving house, picking up children, staying visible.
