I. What Happened
On the morning of 8 July 2025, multiple urgent emails were sent to Westminster social workers Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown requesting the PIN code for the children’s scheduled contact session with their father.
Those emails were met with silence.
No code. No apology. No explanation.
As a result, the children’s lawful father, a man with full parental responsibility, was excluded in real time from his own children — again.
II. What the Incident Reveals
This was not an accident. This was not a systems error.
This was a bureaucratic shrug draped in racial omission.
Had the father been a white man with Royal Mail training, the call would’ve been placed, the code resent, and the apology swift.
Instead, a Black father of four — British-born and Turks & Caicos citizen — was simply left out.
The harm was both emotional and deliberate.
III. The Children Noticed
The children expected him.
He was preparing to log in.
He never arrived — and no one told them why.
Instead of a warm reunion, they received confusion.
Instead of contact, they were handed another absence authored by State delay.
IV. Procedural and Racial Violations
Failure to respond to lawful request for contact access
Violation of Article 8 ECHR – right to family life
Passive racial exclusion of a legal father
Continuation of Westminster’s systemic parental erasure
Disruption of kinship ties without lawful threshold
V. Formal Response and Scheduled Redress
A formal letter has been issued to Ms. Hornal and Mr. Brown, demanding that the children’s contact with their father be rescheduled to 11 July 2025 at 7:00 AM.
All access details must be sent in writing at least 24 hours prior, or the Claimant reserves the right to escalate this as a racial discrimination matter before both the Family Court and the EHRC.
VI. SWANK’s Position
SWANK London Ltd. recognises this as a legally actionable moment of racialised exclusion, in which the simple act of a father trying to see his children became too administratively inconvenient to honour.
It is not just neglect — it is cultural coding.
It says: you are not real, you are not necessary, you do not belong.
That message is now logged.
We do not accept it.
