“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.

Racial Identity Isn’t Optional. Ignoring It Is a Violation.


⟡ “We’re Not White. We’re Not Ignoring That Anymore.” ⟡

A mother issues a formal multi-agency submission detailing racial erasure, linguistic suppression, and cultural exclusion within a PLO process meant to assess “family needs.”

A formal email to Westminster and RBKC officials, copied to NHS, the Metropolitan Police, and Social Work England, documenting concerns around racism, misrepresentation of the children’s father, and systemic refusal to accommodate cultural or language needs.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic issued this email to over twelve institutional contacts after repeated efforts to schedule a PLO meeting devolved into racial mischaracterisation and disregard for the father’s linguistic and cultural identity.

The email included:

  • Concern over how her children’s non-white background was erased

  • Objection to forced English-only communication despite known barriers

  • Complaint about the refusal to provide cultural or linguistic accommodations

  • A formal cc to Social Work England and the Metropolitan Police

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Institutional refusal to acknowledge ethnic and linguistic needs

  • Systemic misrepresentation of the father’s role and origin

  • Hostile, mono-cultural framing of a cross-cultural household

  • Patterned sidelining of both parent and paternal identity

  • Multi-agency record of escalation, sent to medical and legal oversight bodies

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because saying “he’s not white, he’s not English, and you’re ignoring that” is not inappropriate — it’s the only honest thing left to say.
Because when a mother documents the erasure of her children’s identity, and no one replies —
that silence becomes part of the record.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010: racial discrimination and cultural exclusion

  • Human Rights Act: interference with private and family life

  • Language Access breach: failure to offer translation or accommodate

  • Ethical misconduct under Social Work England’s framework

  • Institutional gaslighting of lived ethnic identity

V. SWANK’s Position

Polly Chromatic was never asking for special treatment.
She was asking that her children’s origins not be deleted for bureaucratic convenience.
This letter proves the request was made —
and the silence was deliberate.

Still Under Investigation: A Bureaucracy That Can’t Conclude What It Can’t Prove


⟡ The Archival Gaslight: How a Department Rewrote Its Own Failures ⟡

“The doctor indicated that all of the children were in good health at the time of this visit.” Yet somehow, the investigation remained open.

A disclosure letter from Turks and Caicos Social Services, retroactively stitching unsubstantiated allegations into a legally meaningless but administratively menacing timeline.

I. What Happened

On 11 September 2020, Turks and Caicos’ Department of Social Development issued a formal response to lawyer Ms Lara Maroof. The request sought clarity on the state’s long-standing involvement with Polly Chromatic (then addressed by legal name).

What followed was not a straightforward record. Instead, the Department produced a retrospective pastiche of “concerns”:
• An incomplete 2017 abuse claim never followed up
• A 2018 allegation of children being seen outside during school hours
• A 2019 visit during home renovation where children were unwell — followed by a medical exam that confirmed all were healthy

Despite no injuries, charges, or verified risk, the Department continued oversight, invoking the Care and Protection Ordinance 2015 to justify intrusive involvement well into 2020.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Investigations were opened, not closed — and never resolved

  • Ordinary relocation was treated as evasion

  • Medical clearance was acknowledged — but ignored

  • Consent to examination was given — then framed as insufficient

  • Homeschooling, home renovation, and skin rashes became the state’s holy trinity of suspicion

  • No findings. No injuries. No abuse. Just formatting.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is not an outlier — it is how institutions preserve their authority when evidence fails them.

The Department did not provide a record. It provided a narrative alibi — one stitched together from half-completed visits, unverifiable claims, and a timeline so loosely held it contradicts itself.

This is safeguarding as myth-making. A curated illusion of danger, sustained by the sheer audacity of keeping an investigation “open” regardless of what was found.

It is precisely this kind of bureaucratic fable that SWANK was founded to dissect.

IV. SWANK’s Position

This was not a disclosure.
It was an institutional ghost story.

We reject the legal haunting of families via unresolved paperwork.
We reject the strategic use of children’s names to justify uninterrupted oversight.
We do not accept safeguarding narratives built on “maybes,” “was alleged,” or “unable to locate.”
We file this because it is what they file instead of fact.

This was not safeguarding. It was a weaponised memory lapse — corrected here, in ink and in public.

SWANK London Ltd. will always remember what they redact.
