I. The Role Was “Safeguarding Manager.” The Conduct Was Institutional Enabling.
This is not a character complaint.
It is a regulatory submission filed with Social Work England concerning Edward Kendall’s actions as Safeguarding Manager for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC).
What he did not say —
What he endorsed —
What he helped bury —
is now formally recorded as professional misconduct.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That Edward Kendall:
Responded to formal complaints with strategic delay and vague summaries
Defended social workers who breached communication adjustments and legal boundaries
Attempted to close safeguarding complaints despite live evidence of:
Verbal coercion
Retaliatory escalation
False medical referrals
That his handling constituted:
Disability discrimination by omission
Negligent supervision of subordinate misconduct
And a procedural cover strategy masked as polite communication
This wasn’t safeguarding.
It was reputation protection — at the public’s expense.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because silence from a safeguarding manager is not neutrality — it is collusion in slow motion.
We filed this because:
The subject was disabled
The abuse was reported
The breaches were visible
And Edward Kendall did nothing but soften the language around institutional harm
Let the record show:
The safeguarding risk came from the service
The harm was medical and administrative
The complaint is not emotional — it is structural
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept safeguarding roles used as buffer zones for liability.
We do not allow managers to hide behind process when their silence enables misconduct.
We do not tolerate councils that weaponise medical conditions and then assign safeguarding officers to “contain” the fallout.
Let the record show:
The harm was enabled.
The officer was named.
The file was sent.
And the archive — made it public.
This wasn’t mismanagement.
It was calculated neutrality in the face of documented retaliation.
