Summary: The Bar Standards Board responds to your investigative brief on legal complicity in safeguarding abuse by refusing to investigate systemic barrister misconduct without named individuals.
I. What Happened
On 28 May 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted an investigative brief to the BSB, entitled “The Ministry of Moisture: How Social Work Became a Mold Factory.” The submission outlined:
– Legal failures in child protection cases
– Collusion by barristers in suppressing complaints
– Systemic misuse of safeguarding protocols to harm parents
– The ethical vacuum in court-appointed representation
The BSB responded on 30 May 2025 stating:
– They can only act if a specific breach of the BSB Handbook is alleged
– They will not review cases already litigated in court
– They defer responsibility to other bodies, offering no investigation or follow-up
II. What the Response Establishes
• The BSB acknowledges but declines regulatory responsibility for systemic failures
• They treat your brief as a generic concern, not a catalyst for inquiry
• Their response demonstrates a regulatory gap — where professional misconduct is uninvestigated unless tied to individual complaint form criteria
• Legal complicity in safeguarding abuse is not categorised as a regulatory breach unless narrowly defined
• They rely on court immunity and jurisdictional silos to avoid oversight
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because this is how legal regulators disappear collective harm into jurisdictional referrals.
Because “we can’t re-litigate” is code for “we won’t investigate.”
Because the archive documents not only the failures — but the excuses that protect them.
SWANK logs the letters where systems admit concern — but deny responsibility.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept that systemic abuse must be atomised to be addressed.
We do not accept that barristers are immune from accountability for collusion in harm.
We do not accept that structural complicity is invisible simply because it isn’t individually named.
This wasn’t a rejection. It was jurisdictional displacement.
And SWANK will archive the gate that guards the gatekeepers.
