“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.

She Wrote Their Code of Conduct for Them. They Declined to Read It.



⟡ She Sent Them a Guide to Ethics. They Left It Unread. ⟡
When the only professional development offered is by the person they’re targeting.

A precise and quietly eviscerating email sent by the parent to council staff and legal representatives, offering a structured guide to ethical behaviour — because none had been demonstrated. Not a plea. Not a threat. Just ten universal principles of moral conduct — sent from the target to her investigators.


I. What Happened

After months of disability dismissal, procedural gaslighting, and boundary invasion,
she took a new approach:
– No accusation.
– No complaint.
– Just an unsolicited ethics syllabus.

She CC’d every relevant actor — Glen Peache, Sarah Newman, Kirsty Hornal, Fiona Dias-Saxena, Eric Wedge-Bull, Annabelle Kapoor, Laura Savage, Simon O’Meara.
She included sections on:
– Honesty, fairness, and justice
– Confidentiality, accountability, and environmental responsibility
– Courage, humility, and professional integrity

They replied to none of it.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That the parent attempted a professional and educational intervention in response to misconduct

  • That the message was ignored by all parties — including legal counsel and safeguarding leads

  • That institutional actors were directly offered ethical standards — and declined the invitation to engage

  • That ethical clarity came only from the person being surveilled

  • That no one currently involved in the case could claim ignorance of right conduct after this point


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when a parent writes a ten-point code of ethics and no one replies,
it says everything.
Because this was the most polite form of confrontation ever sent.
And because offering grace to your accusers — and watching them ignore it —
makes the misconduct even clearer.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Institutional Refusal to Acknowledge or Respond to Ethical Accountability Request

  • Multi-Agency Disregard for Non-Hostile Communication from Targeted Individual

  • Erosion of Professional Standards in Legal and Safeguarding Practice

  • Complicity by Inaction Following Ethical Clarification

  • Dismissal of Trauma-Informed and Educational Intervention Attempt


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t an email.
It was a final offer.
A last attempt to appeal to their decency —
and they proved, by silence, they had none.
If this is what gets ignored,
then they’ve chosen misconduct.
Consciously.

The Housing Was Stable. The Harassment Was Institutional.



⟡ SWANK Housing Record ⟡

“Elgin Was Confirmed. The Records Were Clear. They Lied Anyway.”

I. The Tenancy Was Legal. The Insecurity Was Manufactured.

On 1 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. received and archived formal confirmation of a legal, documented tenancy agreement at Elgin Avenue — the address Westminster and related entities later pretended was unstable, unclear, or undefined.

Let the record show:

The housing was confirmed.
The family was housed.
The paperwork was real.
The fiction was theirs.


II. What the Record Proves

  • That the tenancy agreement was signed, dated, and verified

  • That housing continuity was never in question — until institutions made it one

  • That any suggestion of “housing instability” was not factual — it was procedural weaponisation

This document dismantles:

  • Safeguarding threats premised on “unsuitable accommodation”

  • Retaliatory escalation using housing as a pretext

  • Any post hoc justification for intrusion into educational, medical, or legal affairs


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because truth does not survive institutional retellings unless we write it down ourselves.

Because bureaucracies will claim they were “concerned.”
Because councils will pretend you never clarified.
Because data controllers will redact what they once endorsed.

This isn’t evidence of compliance.
It’s evidence of contradiction — between what they received and what they later pretended not to know.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not provide evidence to please.
We provide it to refute.

We do not file documents for assistance.
We file them to indict false memory.

Let the record show:

The tenancy was confirmed.
They had it.
They ignored it.
And now, it’s public.

This isn’t proof of address.
It’s proof of institutional dishonesty.

Still Under Investigation: A Bureaucracy That Can’t Conclude What It Can’t Prove



⟡ The Archival Gaslight: How a Department Rewrote Its Own Failures ⟡

“The doctor indicated that all of the children were in good health at the time of this visit.” Yet somehow, the investigation remained open.

Filed: 11 September 2020

A disclosure letter from Turks and Caicos Social Services, retroactively stitching unsubstantiated allegations into a legally meaningless but administratively menacing timeline.


I. What Happened

On 11 September 2020, Turks and Caicos’ Department of Social Development issued a formal response to lawyer Ms Lara Maroof. The request sought clarity on the state’s long-standing involvement with Polly Chromatic (then addressed by legal name).

What followed was not a straightforward record. Instead, the Department produced a retrospective pastiche of “concerns”:
• An incomplete 2017 abuse claim never followed up
• A 2018 allegation of children being seen outside during school hours
• A 2019 visit during home renovation where children were unwell — followed by a medical exam that confirmed all were healthy

Despite no injuries, charges, or verified risk, the Department continued oversight, invoking the Care and Protection Ordinance 2015 to justify intrusive involvement well into 2020.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Investigations were opened, not closed — and never resolved

  • Ordinary relocation was treated as evasion

  • Medical clearance was acknowledged — but ignored

  • Consent to examination was given — then framed as insufficient

  • Homeschooling, home renovation, and skin rashes became the state’s holy trinity of suspicion

  • No findings. No injuries. No abuse. Just formatting.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not an outlier — it is how institutions preserve their authority when evidence fails them.

The Department did not provide a record. It provided a narrative alibi — one stitched together from half-completed visits, unverifiable claims, and a timeline so loosely held it contradicts itself.

This is safeguarding as myth-making. A curated illusion of danger, sustained by the sheer audacity of keeping an investigation “open” regardless of what was found.

It is precisely this kind of bureaucratic fable that SWANK was founded to dissect.


IV. SWANK’s Position

This was not a disclosure.
It was an institutional ghost story.

We reject the legal haunting of families via unresolved paperwork.
We reject the strategic use of children’s names to justify uninterrupted oversight.
We do not accept safeguarding narratives built on “maybes,” “was alleged,” or “unable to locate.”
We file this because it is what they file instead of fact.

This was not safeguarding. It was a weaponised memory lapse — corrected here, in ink and in public.

SWANK London Ltd. will always remember what they redact.

Re: Complaint Ref. 15083377 – Request for Immediate Clarification and Records Disclosure



🦚 Re: Complaint Ref. 15083377 – Request for Immediate Clarification and Records Disclosure

Filed under the solemn documentation of bureaucratic gaslighting, strategic amnesia, and the delicate art of missing the obvious.


11 March 2025
To:
The Customer Relationship Team
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC)
Subject: Re: Complaint Ref. 15083377 – Request for Immediate Clarification and Records Disclosure


🧾 Dear Customer Relationship Team,

Thank you for your most recent correspondence regarding Complaint Ref. 15083377,
in which it is rather breezily asserted that RBKC social workers are not, and have not been, involved with my family.

Permit me to clarify:

This assertion is not merely inaccurate.
It is demonstrably refuted by your own official documentation and correspondence,
of which, I assure you, I possess both digital and hard copies.

If this is intended as strategic denial, it is executed with all the elegance of a cover-up drafted by committee.


πŸ“œ Clarification Required – Urgently and in Full Sentences

In light of your puzzling denial, I now formally require:

  1. written explanation as to why RBKC is denying involvement, despite traceable, recorded interactions with my household;

  2. Full disclosure of any and all records held by RBKC relating to my family, including but not limited to:

    • Internal communications;

    • Assessments;

    • Safeguarding reports;

    • Staff notes;

    • Third-party referrals;

  3. If RBKC maintains it played no direct role, a detailed identification of the department or external agency that allegedly conducted these interactions under the apparent aegis of RBKC authority.

Transparency is not optional. It is the foundation of public service.


πŸ“š If This Is a Misunderstanding (It’s a Dramatic One)

Should this denial stem from:

  • Internal miscommunication;

  • Misfiling;

  • Or selective institutional amnesia,

then I expect the original complaint to be reopened, reinvestigated, and addressed properly in accordance with statutory procedure and RBKC’s own complaints policy.


πŸ“œ Should This Be RBKC’s Official Position (A Dangerous Proposition)

If, however, this categorical denial represents RBKC’s formal stance,
despite clear contradictory evidence, then I shall escalate this matter without hesitation to:

  • The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman;

  • And, where necessary, to legal counsel equipped to navigate the architecture of bureaucratic gaslighting.


✉️ Next Steps

I request:

  • Written confirmation of RBKC’s official position;

  • Provision of all requested materials;

  • All to be delivered within 14 days of the date of this letter.

Further obfuscation will be regarded as deliberate noncompliance,
and treated accordingly.

I look forward to a reply that demonstrates, at a minimum:

  • Familiarity with your record-keeping systems;

  • Awareness of the concept of professional accountability.


πŸ“œ Yours,

With due formality and documented tenacity,
Polly
