Formal escalation letter requesting full panel review of repeated misconduct and fitness to practise breaches
I. What Happened
On 21 May 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal escalation letter to Social Work England’s Fitness to Practise Panel. The submission identified a coordinated pattern of retaliatory safeguarding misuse and disability discrimination by four registered social workers:
Kirsty Hornal
Glen Peache
Edward Kendall
Rhiannon Hodgson
The complaint documents a post-litigation pattern of safeguarding escalation without evidence, the deliberate refusal of disability accommodations, and unethical distortion of medical records. The actions described had a direct and harmful impact on Polly’s disabled family.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Procedural breaches: Triggering CIN/PLO processes as retaliation for legal action; using statutory frameworks for reprisal
Human impact: Emotional distress, disrupted care, destabilised home education, and the erosion of trust
Power dynamics: Professionals operating in tandem to reinforce fabricated narratives
Institutional failure: No internal checks, no safeguarding of the safeguarding process
Unacceptable conduct: Allowing collusion between practitioners to punish a parent for protected activity
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because retaliation isn’t just personal — it’s structural.
Because a single abusive worker can be dismissed as an outlier — but four cannot.
Because it’s clear that disability adjustments were viewed not as access tools, but as strategic weaknesses to exploit.
Because what Polly Chromatic experienced wasn’t incidental error. It was premeditated sabotage in social work form.
This entry is an escalation — and a signal: institutional patterns must now answer to public documentation.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, Sections 17 & 47 – misuse of risk thresholds and procedural timelines
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 26, and 27 – failure to accommodate; harassment; victimisation
Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.3, 3.1, 5.1 – honesty, person-centred practice, avoiding harm
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – unlawful interference with family life and access needs
V. SWANK’s Position
This was not one bad apple.
This was a barrel — curated, coordinated, and spoiling the profession from within.
SWANK does not accept that the Fitness to Practise process is a waiting room for abusers in uniform.
We do not accept retaliatory safeguarding disguised as risk protocol.
We do not accept silence from a regulator when the pattern is this visible.
This archive is not just a record. It is precedent — a public memory for every child punished for their parent’s resistance.
