“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Email from Sam Brown (WCC) requesting visit during ongoing legal escalation and confirming review of SWANK communications — forwarded to Legal.

⟡ Chromatic v WCC: On the Courteous Scheduling of Surveillance While Reading Your Archive ⟡
WCC, Sam Brown, unsolicited visit request, SWANK archive monitored, legal forwarding, safeguarding theatre, live proceedings breach


I. What Happened
On 13 June 2025, Sam Brown, Deputy Service Manager for Westminster Children’s Services, emailed Polly Chromatic to request a home visit for her and her children, citing “ongoing intervention.” The email arrived amid a live Judicial Review, multiple formal complaints, and known safeguarding misconduct by WCC staff — including social worker Kirsty Hornal, who was CC’d.

Simultaneously, Sam Brown confirmed that communications sent to the SWANK London Ltd. email address had been received and forwarded to Legal — thus acknowledging institutional surveillance of the public archive.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • ⟡ Attempt to initiate direct contact despite legal escalation and access restrictions

  • ⟡ Inclusion of named staff under misconduct investigation (Hornal) in active correspondence

  • ⟡ Acknowledgment of public archive monitoring — SWANK formally surveilled by target institution

  • ⟡ Visit framed as polite request, while context suggests coercive re-entry into private space

  • ⟡ Legal forwarding as implicit threat — “We’re reading your record, and we’ve sent it upstairs.”

This was not a visit request. It was a compliance performance cloaked in middle-management tone.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because “let us know what’s convenient” is not innocuous when it arrives from a department facing judicial scrutiny, safeguarding allegations, and procedural retaliation claims. Because there is no such thing as casual contact under legal fire.

Because when an institution confirms receipt of your archive — but not your argument — that is not recognition. It is reconnaissance.


IV. Violations and Irregularities

  • Children Act 1989: visitation interference amid known litigation

  • Judicial Review Protocol: breach of procedural separation between parties

  • Article 8, HRA 1998: Right to private and family life, compromised by uninvited social worker access

  • Surveillance Implication: public evidentiary archive monitored and redirected without reply


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t a visit. It was surveillance by RSVP.
This wasn’t acknowledgment. It was ambient threat.
SWANK does not accept social worker contact during ongoing litigation.
We do not accept polite breaches dressed as coordination.
And we will not be flattered by institutions reading the archive — we are documenting their panic, not courting their praise.
