The Doctrine of Co-Allocated Confusion
On the Emergence of Bureaucratic Clones Without Legal Ceremony

1-Line Summary:
The local authority appointed a second social worker mid-proceedings without court direction, parental consent, or procedural justification — and he has yet to materialise.
I. WHAT HAPPENED
On 29 July 2025 at 4:36 PM, Sam Brown, Deputy Service Manager at Westminster Children’s Services, emailed Polly Chromatic with a flat administrative declaration:
“Bruce Murphy will be working alongside Kirsty in this matter.”
There was:
No formal notice of change of social worker
No legal basis cited
No explanation of role, scope, or timeline
No copy to the court or procedural documentation
It was bureaucracy by fiat — a “co-allocation” conjured from nowhere.
II. WHAT THIS ESTABLISHES
This is not a procedural update.
It is a juridical mutation: an act of doubling power without legal symmetry.
What Westminster calls “co-allocation,” SWANK identifies as:
Diffuse accountability
Institutional replication
Obfuscation by duplication
If the lead worker is compromised by misconduct allegations, assigning her an unnamed companion does not protect the family — it protects the institution.
This is not a safeguard. It is an administrative enabler.
III. WHY SWANK LOGGED IT
Because when a system installs new agents without consent, clarity, or contact — it reveals itself.
This event was not logged as a change of staffing.
It was logged as an epistemological rupture:
The local authority is creating roles with no relational tether,
assigning names with no accountability,
and hoping no one will notice the ghost in the procedural machine.
But Polly Chromatic noticed.
And she archived the apparition.
IV. SWANK’S POSITION
We assert that:
A social worker cannot be assigned mid-proceedings without:
Court approval
Written role definition
Consultation with the litigant parent
Justification rooted in case need
Co-allocation in this form is a bypass mechanism, not a child welfare improvement
The lead worker’s misconduct cannot be neutralised by silent replication
The system cannot retroactively authorise its own expansions by casually inserting names into correspondence
We request that:
The Court demand full disclosure on the legal basis, function, and operational role of Bruce Murphy
The role be suspended pending formal review
Any future co-allocation require written justification, judicial oversight, and contact with the parent before activation
Because what is not explained must not be enacted.
V. ADDENDUM: ABSENCE AS EVIDENCE
To date, Polly Chromatic has received no contact whatsoever from Bruce Murphy.
No email.
No call.
No schedule.
No statement of role or intent.
This is not staffing. This is spectre.
An unnamed, unannounced, and non-communicative social worker is not an assistant — he is an artefact of procedural inflation.
The mother is expected to treat the apparition as real.
SWANK, instead, treats it as evidence.
Because silence, in this context, is not empty. It is operationally complicit.
