“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.

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.

We Escalated the Pattern. The Ombudsman Got It in Writing.



⟡ SWANK Formal Complaint ⟡

“Two Boroughs. One Pattern. Filed on 31 May.”
Filed: 31 May 2025

I. The Escalation They Provoked

On 31 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. filed a formal complaint with the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGSCO) concerning coordinated misconduct by:

  • Westminster Children’s Services

  • The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (RBKC)

This was not a local grievance. It was a systemic indictment — one that identifies safeguarding not as protection, but as administrative theatre designed to punish resistance.

The safeguarding protocols failed.
Then they escalated.
Then they were filed.


II. What the Complaint Documents

This complaint outlines:

  • Failure to honour written-only communication adjustments

  • Safeguarding escalation based on false medical claims

  • Procedural harassment following formal legal filings

  • Cumulative emotional and physical harm to four children

  • Coordinated obfuscation, retaliatory oversight, and refusal to withdraw after correction

This was not error.
It was institutional choreography.


III. Why This Went to the Ombudsman

Because:

  • Internal complaints were ignored

  • Safeguarding was used as deterrence, not assessment

  • Medical documentation was sidestepped in favour of fictional narratives

And because when two boroughs engage in nearly identical misconduct, they cease to be departments.
They become a pattern.

This filing marks the transition from local protest to documented refusal. It is not a request for sympathy. It is a legal placeholder for future judicial review.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not distinguish between harmful departments when their tactics are identical.
We do not respect safeguarding action issued in retaliation.
We do not wait for these boroughs to acknowledge their behaviour — we file it so they can’t later deny it.

This complaint is not the end of anything.
It is simply the moment the story became part of the permanent record.

Let the archive show:

Two boroughs.
One coordinated failure.
Filed on 31 May.
Read by everyone.
