“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.

⟡ In re Chromatic: A Hearing the Mother Never Heard About ⟡



⟡ “They Called It a Care Order. This Is What Actually Happened.” ⟡
Filed because the judge didn’t ask. Logged because the system pretended it already knew.

Timeline of judicial exclusion, disability discrimination, secret hearings, and the removal of four U.S. citizen children without lawful access.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, four children were taken without warning, explanation, or visible court order.
The mother, Polly Chromatic, was given no notice of any hearing.
She is nonverbal. No accommodations were made. No documents were shown. No contact was offered.

But instead of collapsing, she filed.
This is her procedural history — because the system refused to keep one.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Secret hearing authorising removal

  • Exclusion of disabled litigant known to be nonverbal

  • Denial of participation in violation of FPR, Equality Act, and Article 6

  • No transcript, no judgment, no service

  • Four American children removed during an active Judicial Review

  • Every remedy since initiated by the mother — not the court

This isn't a family court. It's a court against the family.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because they will pretend the timeline was “complex” or “confidential.”
Because they’ve already forgotten that the mother was never in the room.
Because the truth doesn’t belong in their minutes. It belongs in an archive.

SWANK logged it because they didn’t.
SWANK published it because they won’t.
And because if you remove children in silence — this is the sound of the record catching up.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 34 – denial of contact

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – family life

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to provide access

  • FPR Rules – procedural breaches of notice and participation

  • Judicial transparency principles – absence of transcript, judgment, disclosure


V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept exclusion as procedure.
We do not accept that silence is protection.
We do not accept that a care order can be granted while the mother files alone, unheard, unseen.
We do not accept any court that allows the state to take children without even logging who filed what — or when.

So we logged it. In velvet. In archive. In print.

⟡ Chromatic v Hearing: The Care Order Filed in Absence, Set Aside in Public ⟡

Filed under contempt. Documented under oath. Read under pressure.

Formal application to overturn the 23 June 2025 care order due to procedural exclusion, disability breach, and judicial misconduct.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025 at 1:37 PM, four U.S. citizen children were forcibly removed from the home of Polly Chromatic, a disabled American mother engaged in active litigation against multiple UK authorities. No court order was presented. No destination was disclosed.

The applicant received no notice of any hearing.
She was not represented.
She was medically unable to speak.
The local authority knew this — and used it.

The hearing proceeded in silence.
The children were removed in minutes.
And the applicant responded in the only language the system seems to understand: a formal Set Aside Application.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Total absence of accessible notice

  • Procedural exclusion of a disabled litigant

  • No legal representation at hearing

  • Live retaliation during ongoing Judicial Review and civil claim (N1)

  • Unlawful seizure of children without documentation or post-order notice

This wasn’t a procedural oversight.
It was a calculated removal engineered to avoid scrutiny and prevent participation.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this isn’t a parenting matter — it’s a jurisdictional breach in plain sight.
Because the system excluded a mother from her own children’s removal during active litigation.
Because disability isn’t silence. And silence isn’t consent.
Because the care order didn’t survive review — it collapsed the moment scrutiny touched it.

And now, we are documenting its unravelling.


IV. Violations

  • Family Procedure Rules, Part 18 – unlawfully obtained ex parte order

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to accommodate and discriminatory treatment

  • Children Act 1989 – removal without proper threshold or hearing rights

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – fair trial and family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – violated by procedural exclusion

  • Public Law Principles – retaliation during judicial oversight


V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that a mother can be excluded from court due to her disability.
We do not accept that legal silence constitutes lawful consent.
We do not accept that no one knew — they all did.
We do not accept that this order was valid.
We archive the application that will erase it.

Westminster Acknowledged Disability. Then Weaponised It.



⟡ “They Admitted It. Then They Punished Me For It.” ⟡

Kirsty Hornal acknowledged disability, communication barriers, and medical vulnerability — then proceeded to escalate.

Filed: 12 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/CHRONOLOGY-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2024-11-12_SWANK_ChronologyUpdate_DisabilityAcknowledged_ThenIgnored.pdf
This record documents written admission by Westminster social work lead Kirsty Hornal that Polly Chromatic was unwell, under psychiatric care, and unable to communicate verbally. These facts were later ignored during escalation of proceedings.


I. What Happened

Between 4–12 November 2024, a sequence of emails occurred between Polly Chromatic and Kirsty Hornal, during which:

  • A psychiatric assessment was confirmed and documented

  • The Child Protection Conference was postponed to accommodate medical status

  • Hornal acknowledged Polly’s need to communicate via email due to verbal disability

  • The tone was seemingly cooperative

Yet shortly after, support was withdrawn, accommodations were ignored, and further safeguarding pressures were applied.


II. What the Entry Establishes

  • Full institutional awareness of medical and psychiatric needs

  • Written agreement to accept email as the communication mode

  • Chronological evidence that retaliatory escalation followed this agreement

  • Foundational proof that later social work actions were not based on ignorance, but malice


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because once an institution acknowledges your illness and your access needs, they are bound by law to comply.
Because this shows that Westminster not only knew — but waited, then attacked.
Because SWANK doesn’t forget timelines.
It prints them.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to uphold agreed reasonable adjustments

  • Harassment and retaliation against disabled parent after medical declaration

  • Children Act 1989 – misuse of conference scheduling to disadvantage the parent

  • Professional misconduct by Kirsty Hornal (Social Work England Code breach)


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not just a chronology update.
It is the receipt —
for every safeguarding escalation that followed.
They knew Polly Chromatic was sick.
They agreed she could use email.
And then they punished her for it.

Now that timeline is public.

When Institutions Demand Obedience Without Explanation: A Notice of Non-Cooperation and Audit Exposure



⟡ “I Am Not Withholding Cooperation — You Are.” ⟡
No clarity. No lawful basis. No explanation. Just evasion, opacity, and audit exposure.

Filed: 20 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/TRANSPARENCY-FAILURE-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-20_SWANK_Notice_Westminster_NonCooperationTransparencyBreach.pdf
A formal notice from Polly Chromatic to Westminster Children’s Services citing procedural evasion, institutional dishonesty, and the failure to explain or justify safeguarding actions. Copied to NHS clinicians and RBKC officials, this notice asserts that the refusal to provide lawful clarity constitutes non-cooperation — and that audit escalation is now procedurally necessary.


I. What Happened
On 20 April 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal declaration to Westminster Children’s Services in response to their continued refusal to explain the legal basis of their safeguarding contact. The message was sent after weeks of unanswered emails, data inconsistencies, and the misuse of safeguarding pretexts to avoid procedural transparency. The notice asserts that Westminster’s silence is not benign — it is obstructive, evasive, and a breach of their stated duty of cooperation.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster failed to clarify their legal grounds for contact

  • No procedural transparency was offered despite multiple requests

  • Audit correspondence was ignored, delayed, or indirectly answered

  • Professional actors used administrative delay as a shield

  • The burden of “cooperation” was being weaponised against a disabled parent already under threat


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because “cooperation” is not a one-way mirror.
Because silence is not neutrality — it’s obstruction.
Because when public bodies demand compliance without offering rationale, they aren’t managing risk — they are creating it.

SWANK London Ltd. logged this notice as a turning point in the jurisdictional audit:
where evasion became the evidence.
Where “we can’t say” became “we have no answer.”
And where the harm became undeniable — because it was no longer even denied.


IV. Violations

  • ❍ Article 6 ECHR – Lack of procedural fairness and due process

  • ❍ Article 8 ECHR – Intrusion into private life without legal justification

  • ❍ Safeguarding Misuse – Ongoing contact without formal disclosure of rationale

  • ❍ Administrative Evasion – Withholding information while accusing others of non-compliance

  • ❍ Transparency Breach – Refusing to participate in audit clarification


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not mutual breakdown.
It was institutional stonewalling presented as policy.

Polly Chromatic has issued every document.
Met every deadline.
Answered every baseless claim.

The refusal isn’t hers.
It’s yours.

The file is now public.
The audit continues.
The cooperation you denied will now be archived.

When Support Becomes a Symptom: A Disabled Parent’s Refusal to Inhale Any More Institutional Harm



⟡ “Irresponsibility Disgusts Me.” ⟡
A refusal issued from exhaustion. A boundary made clinical. A diagnosis of institutional collapse.

Filed: 2 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/RBKC-FAILURE-IRRESPONSIBILITY-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-02-02_SWANK_Refusal_WestminsterRBKC_InstitutionalIrresponsibility.pdf
A direct statement from Polly Chromatic to Westminster Children’s Services, RBKC, safeguarding officers, legal advisors, and NHS professionals, outlining the health consequences and emotional harm of ongoing institutional contact.


I. What Happened
On 2 February 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a direct message to local authorities and their legal affiliates after repeated unwanted communication escalated asthma symptoms, triggered panic attacks, and further destabilised her health. The message does not ask for understanding. It issues refusal — legally, medically, and emotionally. It clarifies that institutional failure is not abstract. It is daily, clinical, and lived.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Ongoing contact is causing measurable respiratory harm

  • Emotional distress is not incidental — it is the result of sustained professional intrusion

  • Social workers have refused accountability while demanding emotional labour

  • Contact is not harmless when disability is known and ignored

  • The author’s disgust is not rhetorical — it is based in pattern, evidence, and exhaustion


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because disgust is not the problem — irresponsibility is.
Because this wasn’t a misstep — it was the latest in a series of procedural violations framed as concern.
Because the refusal was not an emotional outburst.
It was a boundary delivered in plain language, to people who have spent years pretending not to hear.

This was not a meltdown.
It was a message.
And now it’s archived.


IV. Violations

  • ❍ Equality Act 2010 – Ignoring known disability accommodations, including verbal exemption

  • ❍ Article 8 ECHR – Disruption of private life and bodily autonomy via state intrusion

  • ❍ Medical Harm – Aggravation of asthma and trauma symptoms through unwanted contact

  • ❍ Safeguarding Misconduct – Repeated engagement without cause or benefit

  • ❍ Negligence in Professional Conduct – Social work as performance, not responsibility


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not dramatic.
This was forensic refusal from a disabled person documenting harm in real time.

The emotional cost was always medical.
The medical cost is now documented.
The names are known.
The silence is noted.

Polly Chromatic has nothing more to explain.
The archive will handle it from here.

This Is the Document They’ll Pretend They Never Received.



⟡ “I Called the Police. I Named the Social Worker. I Filed It as a Crime.” ⟡
A formal police report submitted against Kirsty Hornal of Westminster Children’s Services for coercive behaviour, ableist harassment, and the weaponisation of safeguarding against a disabled parent. Not safeguarding. Not support. Now officially misconduct — logged as criminal.

Filed: 15 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/MPS/KH-CRIM-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-02-15_SWANK_Report_MetPolice_KirstyHornal_DisabilityAbuse_CoerciveConduct.pdf
A police complaint submitted to the Metropolitan Police under reference number BCA-10622-25-0101-IR, documenting coercion, disability discrimination, and prolonged abuse of power by Westminster officer Kirsty Hornal. Criminal complaint lodged. Support requested. Evidence confirmed.


I. What Happened

On 15 February 2025, Polly Chromatic stopped submitting letters to the council and started filing reports with the police.

The complaint detailed:

  • Years of procedural harassment framed as “safeguarding”

  • Medical diagnoses including eosinophilic asthma, muscle dysphonia, and PTSD

  • A social worker repeatedly ignoring lawful boundaries and clinical evidence

  • Coercion via visit attempts, pressure to speak despite disability, and escalation after complaint

  • Refusal of reasonable adjustment

  • Emotional trauma, home disruption, and fear of targeted retaliation

The report was clear. The suspect was named. The safeguarding fiction was reclassified as abuse.


II. What the Report Establishes

  • That Westminster’s conduct moved beyond misconduct — into criminal liability

  • That verbal disability was exploited as a pretext for escalation

  • That contact persisted after legal withdrawal of consent

  • That the parent was forced to act not as a participant — but as a whistleblower

  • That the Metropolitan Police received the evidence, the history, and the suspect’s name — all in writing


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when a safeguarding officer is accused of endangering the person they were assigned to support — and that person is disabled — it’s not oversight. It’s state-backed oppression. And when the council ignores it, the archive doesn’t.

SWANK filed this because:

  • It’s a landmark moment in the procedural collapse of WCC safeguarding

  • It shows that internal remedies were exhausted — and formal complaint was criminally escalated

  • It marks the transition from policy failure to potential prosecution


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Refusal of adjustment
    • Section 26: Harassment
    • Section 27: Victimisation after complaint
    • Section 149: Public sector equality duty breached

  • Protection from Harassment Act 1997 – Coercive contact after lawful refusal

  • Human Rights Act 1998 –
    • Article 3: Degrading treatment
    • Article 8: Home and family life invasion
    • Article 14: Discrimination via state process

  • Children Act 1989 – Procedural weaponisation causing emotional harm to family

  • Social Work England Standards – Now submitted to police for further investigation


V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t get to call it safeguarding when your presence causes trauma, triggers symptoms, and violates medical boundaries. You don’t get to call it concern when the parent files a police report with your name on it. And you don’t get to call it “misunderstanding” when the allegations fit multiple statutes and a criminal code.

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this file as the procedural tipping point — when disability discrimination, harassment, and administrative cruelty moved into the jurisdiction of the criminal law.

When Safeguarding Becomes a Health Hazard: How Disability Refusal Became a Threat Response



⟡ “You’re All Making Me Sick.” ⟡
A medical escalation. A legal refusal. A respiratory warning ignored.

Filed: 14 December 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/FAILURE-RESPIRATORY-01
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025.02.14_DisabilityHealthBreakdown_WestminsterSafeguardingReid.pdf
A written complaint to Westminster officials detailing the physical collapse, legal breaches, and fatal risk caused by safeguarding intrusion and institutional neglect.


I. What Happened
On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic issued a formal health escalation and safeguarding refusal to senior Westminster staff and NHS clinicians. The message detailed weeks of respiratory distress, widespread illness across the household, and the psychological and physiological toll of prolonged unwanted state contact. The letter identified safeguarding personnel — not asthma — as the primary source of ongoing health deterioration.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Contact from Children’s Services was physically harmful and medically unsound

  • Disability-related accommodations were knowingly ignored

  • Repeated requests for non-contact were refused in practice

  • Emotional exhaustion was compounded by institutional gaslighting

  • A clear risk to life was present, logged, and left unaddressed


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because safeguarding is not exempt from accountability.
Because illness caused by forced contact is not “coincidence.”
Because refusal is a legal and medical protection — not a provocation.
And because when a disabled parent becomes physically sicker because of social work “support,”
that is not an unfortunate outcome — it is misconduct.

SWANK London Ltd. logged this document as part of its disability archive, evidentiary timeline, and formal institutional harm record.


IV. Violations

  • ❍ Equality Act 2010 – Refusal to provide adjustments for a known chronic respiratory illness

  • ❍ Article 3 ECHR – Inhuman and degrading treatment through reckless disregard for health impact

  • ❍ Negligent Endangerment – Escalating illness by refusing to accommodate legal and medical refusal

  • ❍ Safeguarding Misconduct – Misuse of authority to override disability protections

  • ❍ Failure of Duty of Care – Continuing contact after explicit warnings of harm and exhaustion


V. SWANK’s Position
This was not a safeguarding intervention.
This was government-administered medical destabilisation.

The refusal was lawful.
The condition was documented.
The warnings were issued.
And the silence that followed was violence by omission.

SWANK London Ltd. stands by the archive.
The collapse wasn’t clinical.
It was institutional.
And it was entirely preventable.

I Escalated. Because They Pretended It Was Over.



⟡ SWANK Council Misconduct Ledger ⟡

“They Called It Closure. I Called It Retaliation.”

Reference: SWANK/RBKC/STAGE2/RETALIATION-COMPLAINT
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-05-23_SWANK_RBKC_Complaint_EricWedgeBull_BrettTroyan_DisabilityRetaliation_Stage2.pdf


I. When They Close the Complaint, It’s Because the Complaint Was Accurate.

This formal Stage 2 escalation was filed with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), naming two officers — Eric Wedge-Bull and Brett Troyan — for their direct involvement in:

  • Retaliatory handling of a disability complaint

  • Breach of written communication adjustments

  • Misrepresentation of safeguarding chronology

  • Procedural closure without lawful resolution

They attempted to end a process that was only beginning.

We responded by escalating it into the archive.


II. What the Complaint Documents

  • Officer Wedge-Bull and Officer Troyan:

    • Ignored clinical evidence

    • Mischaracterised safeguarding referrals

    • Silenced complaint progression by strategic inaction

  • Their conduct included:

    • Failure to apply disability adjustments

    • Cooperative minimisation of harm

    • Obfuscation of RBKC safeguarding misconduct

  • This was not a failure of communication.

It was a coordinated decision to terminate complaint visibility.

You asked for accountability.
They sent a closing statement.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because “Stage 2” is not an appeal.
It is an escalation into formality, visibility, and jurisdiction.

We filed this because:

  • Complaints about misconduct are not resolved by silence

  • Disability retaliation is not softened by tone

  • Public officers do not get to declare their own exoneration

Let the record show:

  • The original complaint was legitimate

  • The closure was performative

  • The response was escalation — and publication


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not tolerate complaints erased for convenience.
We do not accept closure without resolution.
We do not allow local authorities to disguise retaliation as “response.”

Let the record show:

The complaint was real.
The injury was clinical.
The officers were named.
And now — they are archived.

This wasn’t a conclusion.
It was a bureaucratic tantrum in paragraph form.

And SWANK has now added its reply — in public, in full, and in file.

Procedural Review Filed: Kirsty Hornal and the Supervision Threat Without Safeguarding Grounds



⟡ SWANK Procedural Dispatch ⟡

Retaliation Disguised as Safeguarding
The Supervision Threat Email of 31 May 2025

Filed Under: safeguarding misconduct, procedural retaliation, disability law, Westminster City Council, audit dispatch

I. When Procedure Becomes Weapon

On 31 May 2025, Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal—Senior Practitioner at the North West Social Work Team—sent an email declaring the Council's intention to apply for a Supervision Order concerning four children.

The problem?

No risk assessment.
No strategy meeting.
No multi-agency process.
No safeguarding trigger.
No legal basis.

Instead: a thinly veiled threat—issued days after Westminster received a formal Cease and Desist, a legal dispute over disability adjustments, and notification of active litigation.

This was not protection.
This was punishment.

II. Procedural Review Filed

On 7 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. submitted a formal Procedural Review Request, addressed to senior officers at Westminster Children’s Services. The document outlines:

  • Violations of the Equality Act 2010

  • Bypass of documented communication adjustments

  • Omission of statutory thresholds under the Children Act 1989

  • Retaliatory timing following formal legal objections

It demands full disclosure of strategy records, authorisation trails, legal justifications, and a written explanation of compliance with safeguarding law.

III. Institutional Archiving and Public Oversight

This procedural review is now logged in the SWANK Oversight Archive and may be cited in:

  • Future litigation

  • Parliamentary Ombudsman complaints

  • EHRC and ICO investigations

  • Safeguarding appeals and human rights actions

IV. What They Tried to Call Safeguarding Was Simply Not That

Safeguarding must not be a retaliatory tool.
Procedures must not be emptied of law.
Disability adjustments are not optional.

As of 7 June 2025, this incident is no longer unrecorded.

Child in Need of a Lawyer – The Repackaging of Retaliation as Support



๐Ÿ–‹ SWANK Dispatch | 10 December 2024
“Child in Need of a Lawyer”
aka Why Are My Children on This Plan Again?

Filed Under: Illegal Planning · Discriminatory Safeguarding · Disability Retaliation · CIN Confusion · Police Report Pending · SWANK London Ltd

Dear Kirsty, Sarah, Fiona & Associates in Manufactured Concern,

I asked a very simple question:

“What is the concern about my children?”

And the room—predictably—fell silent.
Because there isn’t one.

You dragged my children through a “significant risk of harm” plan for an entire year,
not because of evidence, but because of disability discrimination.

And now you repackage it—new label, same lie—as a Child in Need plan?

No.
We are not confused.
We are insulted.

I wrote:

“I’ll be making a police report against Sarah for this entire illegal investigation.”

Because I mean it.
Because the law is not a theatre prop.
Because every baseless plan you file will be refiled—as evidence.

This is not support.
This is retaliation with a PowerPoint presentation.
And we do not consent to further performance.

Probably Better to Stay Home and Die.

“Ignored Clarity Becomes Silence. Silence Becomes Risk.”

Filed From: Flat 22, 2 Periwinkle Gardens, London W2
Author: Polly Chromatic
Filed Under: Disability Communication Failure · Institutional Neglect · Verbal Access Denied · Medical Coordination Collapse · SWANK Crisis Log


The Plea That Went Unheard

On 14 December 2024, Polly Chromatic wrote the following to Kirsty Hornal and Sarah Newman, with Laura Savageand Philip Reid copied:

“It’s like no one takes me seriously and I don’t know why, as I’ve been very clear—yet no one will talk to the hospital and find out why.”

And in one unanswerable sentence:

“Probably better to stay home and die.”

That is not drama.
That is data.
That is what happens when all forms of available communication are ignored.

It’s not that help isn’t possible.
It’s that they chose not to connect the lines between her, her hospital, and her truth.


Disability Communication Reminder

Please Note: I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.

The Visit Was a Performance: A Theatre of Concern in Four Acts



SWANK Complaint Dispatch

The Spectacle of Safeguarding: When Social Work Becomes Family Surveillance Theatre

Filed: 25 February 2024

๐Ÿ’Œ Welcome to SWANK
An Archive of ✦ Elegance, ✦ Complaint, ✦ and Unapologetic Standards
from a Mother Harassed by the State in Two Countries for Over a Decade.


The Incident at 2 Porchester Gardens

A Visit from Samira (and her mother)

On 21 February 2024, Samira Issa, a social worker for Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, turned up unannounced to my home outside her jurisdiction—in Westminster—with her unidentified mother in tow. This was supposedly in response to a safeguarding referral from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, citing vague “erratic behaviour” and “intoxication” during an asthma emergency.

๐Ÿชž Except—there was no erratic behaviour.
There was no intoxication.
And Samira refused to speak during the entire visit. Her mother spoke instead. A woman I’ve never met. Never been introduced to.

They did not ask about the hospital concerns.
They questioned my children about homeschooling.
They came not to assess risk—but to perform a state theatre of surveillance.

๐ŸŽฅ I documented the entire interaction. The footage is archived here:

๐Ÿ“ผ And here’s the original audio from the hospital visit that triggered their retaliatory referral:


Timeline of Email Evidence:

From 8 February – 21 February 2024, I was repeatedly harassed via email while acutely ill with asthma. Despite documented communication disabilities, they insisted on verbal meetings. Despite previous social work closures, they claimed “new concerns”—which were in fact recycled allegations from hospital staff who are now under complaint.

I clearly stated:
✦ I was ill.
✦ I could not speak.
✦ I had legal representation.
✦ I was filing a complaint.

And yet they came.
Not to help—but to surveil.
Not to assess—but to stage compliance.


My Formal Complaint to Glen Peache

Director of Family Services at RBKC

I have notified:
✦ Local Safeguarding Children Partnership advisors
✦ Senior NHS officials
✦ Detective Chief Inspectors
✦ Lead nurses and safeguarding heads
✦ Cabinet Members for Children’s Services
✦ Headteachers of schools never attended

Because this is not a mistake.
It is a patterned misuse of power,
disguised as care.


✷ Final Word

When social work masquerades as protection, but functions as punishment, it is no longer a public service—it is a public harm.

I do not comply with performative safeguarding.
I do not consent to unlawful visits.
And I do not remain silent while my children are interrogated
for being educated, loved, and safe—in a home the state cannot control.

They Showed Up at My Home with No Authority, No Name, and No Questions About the Referral

 ๐Ÿ“ผ SWANK Dispatch: Samira Brought Her Mum. I Brought Receipts.

Filed Under: unannounced home intrusion, social worker misconduct, safeguarding manipulation, hospital retaliation, Section 47 abuse, verbal ambush, disability dismissal, mother as proxy, legal boundaries crossed, audio-video evidence


“Samira didn’t say a word.
Her mother spoke the entire time.
They asked my children about homeschooling —
not about the hospital report.”

— A Mother Still Recovering from the Asthma Attack That Started It All


This complaint was submitted by Polly Chromatic directly to Glen Peache, Director of Family Services for Kensington and Chelsea, and copied to every senior safeguarding authority and hospital implicated in the false safeguarding referral initiated after Polly’s emergency asthma hospital visit on 4 February 2024.

Instead of investigating the allegation supposedly reported by hospital staff — namely that she appeared “intoxicated” — the social worker, Samira Issa, arrived at her home accompanied by an unnamed woman (later revealed to be her mother).

Samira Issa said nothing.
Her mother — a total stranger to Noelle — did all the talking.
No questions about the report.
No clarification.
Just veiled accusations and insinuations aimed at her children.


๐Ÿ›‘ I. What They Were Meant to Investigate

  • Hospital staff claimed Noelle was “erratic” and “possibly intoxicated”

  • A referral was made to RBKC Children’s Services

  • Section 47 enquiry was opened, allegedly justified by hospital concern and the “frequency of referrals”


๐Ÿšจ II. What Actually Happened

  • Samira Issa showed up at 2 Periwinkle Gardens, a Westminster address, not RBKC

  • She brought her mother instead of a professional colleague

  • No effort was made to verify the allegations from the hospital

  • Instead, the children were questioned about homeschooling

  • No documents, no official identification, no procedural safeguards

  • Polly has never spoken to Samira's mother before and was given no introduction


๐ŸŽฅ III. Receipts & Retaliation

Polly provided extensive documentation, including:

  • ๐Ÿ“ผ Full audio recording of the hospital incidentYouTube

  • ๐Ÿ“น Four separate videos documenting the home intrusion by Samira and her mother:


๐Ÿงพ IV. SWANK Commentary

They didn’t bring a file.
They didn’t bring a form.
They didn’t bring a question.

They brought a woman’s mother to a legal safeguarding visit —
and thought that was professional.

This is what happens when truth gets too sharp:
they stop trying to answer it,
and start trying to discredit the person holding it.



When the State’s Protective Services Become a Public Health Risk

 ๐Ÿฆ  SWANK Dispatch: They Brought COVID into My House—During Lockdown—Then Blamed Me for Resisting

๐Ÿ—“️ 26 March 2020

Filed Under: COVID regulation breach, safeguarding hypocrisy, Environmental Health negligence, DSD misconduct, lockdown violations, public health risk, social worker overreach, family endangerment, lawful confinement ignored, emotional abuse by authority


“We were eating lunch during lockdown.
They entered my house without distancing.
Two unmasked women.
I said no.
They came anyway.”

— A Mother Whose Family Was Treated as Expendable


In this formal report to Mr. Kendrick Neely at the Environmental Health DepartmentNoelle Bonneannรฉe outlines a flagrant breach of the Emergency Powers (COVID-19) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 by employees of the Department of Social Development (DSD).

Despite the existence of strict legal provisions for lockdown, including confinement to one’s residence and social distancing of at least six feet, two workers:

  • Insisted on a same-day home visit without lawful basis

  • Entered the family home unmasked

  • Did not maintain any distance from her or her four children

  • Stayed during mealtime, compounding risk of aerosol exposure

Polly complied under duress — not out of consent, but fear of retaliation due to their status as safeguarding officers.


๐Ÿ“œ I. The Law They Ignored

Regulation 7A (1) required:

  • Residence confinement

  • Exceptions for essential workers only under regulated duties

  • Mandatory distancing of six feet

  • PPE and hygiene compliance

The DSD staff were not emergency responders, and the visit was neither urgent nor essential under public health guidelines.


๐Ÿ’” II. The Impact on Her Family

  • Emotional distress during lockdown

  • Increased infection risk to a household with severe asthma

  • Violation of privacy and health safety protocols

  • Undermining the government’s own legitimacy in public health enforcement


⚠️ III. SWANK Summary

You don’t protect children by endangering their airways.
You don’t uphold law by breaking it.
And you certainly don’t earn respect
by forcing your way into someone’s home during a pandemic —
with no PPE, no warrant, and no sense.



They Were Not Confused. They Were Noncompliant.

“This Is Not a Request. It’s a Final Legal Demand.”
Filed: 24 May 2025

Author: Polly Chromatic


I. This Is Where the Letters Stop and the Law Begins

This document marks the final written enforcement action against Westminster Children’s Services, issued by SWANK London Ltd. on 24 May 2025.

It is not advisory.
It is not optional.
It is statutorily underwritten, procedurally inviolable, and archived for judicial scrutiny.

The letter outlines a multi-pronged demand under the following statutes:

  • Equality Act 2010

  • Human Rights Act 1998

  • Children Act 1989

  • Data Protection Act 2018

And it does so with no euphemism, no deference, and no room to pretend confusion.


II. What the Demand Covers

  • The absence of a declared threshold of harm

  • Lack of legal justification for intrusion under Article 8

  • No stated assessment type or statutory process in place

  • Ongoing refusal to adhere to disability adjustments

  • Threats of supervision action based on procedural voids

  • Failure to acknowledge active proceedings:

    • Judicial Review (N461)

    • Injunction Request (N16A)

    • Civil Damages Claim (N1)

    • Subject Access Request

    • Regulatory complaints (SWE, IOPC, GMC)

This letter didn’t escalate a concern.
It exposed an already-existing collapse of legal compliance.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because institutions that persist in harm after being notified must be served not with another reminder — but with a legal reckoning.
Because a disability adjustment is not a suggestion.
Because “we are concerned” is not a defence when you are breaching five acts of Parliament.

We filed this because:

  • Westminster ignored every legal document preceding this one

  • The silence is not innocent — it is coordinated containment

  • The failure to state their legal footing is no longer an oversight — it is a confession

Let the record show:

They had fair warning.
They had every opportunity.
They had every statute spelled out.
And now — they have been formally served.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept safeguarding departments acting without legal threshold.
We do not accept unlawful communication with medically exempt parents.
We do not accept that procedural abuse may continue because it is written in a pleasant tone.

Let the record show:

This letter was sent.
This archive is live.
This file is admissible.
And SWANK — is no longer waiting for a reply.

This wasn’t escalation.
It was closure, enforced by law and preserved by file.

The Warning Came First. The Harm Came After.

Polly Chromatic Sends Formal Warning About Social Worker Conduct and Health Harm — CCs Legal and Medical Contacts, Including NHS and Kirsty Hornal

Filed: 17 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-06
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-02-17_SWANK_EmailChain_Nannette_CC_UrgentHealth_SocialWorkerConduct_Kirsty.pdf
Summary: Early warning email from Polly Chromatic forwarding serious health and safeguarding concerns to Sarah Newman, Kirsty Hornal, and legal-medical representatives. Sent the day before the police report.


I. What Happened

On 17 February 2025, Polly Chromatic (then using legal name) emailed a letter titled “Urgent Concerns Regarding Health and Social Worker Conduct” to:

– Sarah Newman (Westminster)
– Kirsty Hornal (named recipient)
– Legal counsel: Simon O’Meara (Blackfords), Laura Savage (Merali Beedle)
– NHS contact Philip Reid
– Forwarded with full context to Nannette Nicholson for external confirmation

The email stated that a letter outlining these concerns was attached — this letter became a precursor to both:

  • Your refusal notice

  • Your police complaint against Kirsty Hornal


II. What the Record Establishes

• A formal medical-safeguarding warning was submitted to senior social work staff and lawyers
• Kirsty Hornal was made aware of medical risk and institutional danger
• NHS and legal professionals were in the chain — making the Council’s silence actionable
• This message was sent 24 hours before the police complaint
• Timeline confirms PLO retaliation followed multiple lawful warnings


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because warnings aren’t rhetorical when lives are at risk.
Because it proves they knew — and escalated anyway.
Because the silence after this message wasn’t just cruel. It was coordinated neglect.

SWANK archives every ignored warning that turned into evidence.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that health warnings can be overwritten by protocol.
We do not accept that safeguarding starts after injury.
We do not accept that retaliation can masquerade as concern.

This wasn’t a help request. It was a last chance to act — and they didn’t.

If It’s About the Family, Try Inviting the Family.



⟡ You Forgot to Invite the Father. And the Children. To a Meeting About Them. ⟡
“It’s not a family conference if you exclude the family.”

Filed: 2 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAILS-05
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2024-11-02_SWANK_EmailObjection_WCC_MeetingExclusion_FamilyParticipationBreach.pdf
Written objection to Westminster Children’s Services for excluding the children's father and the children themselves from meetings held under the guise of family engagement.


I. What Happened

On 2 November 2024, the parent issued a written correction to Westminster Children’s Services after learning that:

  • Her husband — the children's father — had never once been invited to any official meetings

  • Her sons, Regal and Prerogative, were excluded from participation in discussions directly concerning their lives

  • The family had to self-invite to a meeting that was supposedly about them

Despite Westminster’s repeated claims of transparency and family inclusion, meeting invitations had become procedurally selective — excluding adult guardians and children alike.

The email formally demanded inclusion.

And now it formally exists in the evidentiary archive.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Westminster failed to notify or invite the children’s father to case planning meetings

  • That children were excluded from meetings where their futures were discussed without representation

  • That procedural inclusion was only offered retroactively and reactively, after parental objection

  • That safeguarding meetings functioned more as closed strategy sessions than participatory processes

  • That the institution only engages the family after it’s been corrected — not before


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because if a father isn’t invited, it’s not lawful procedure — it’s institutional exclusion.
Because if children must be invited by their own parent — it’s not child-centred practice.
Because calling it a “family meeting” while gatekeeping who attends is not concern — it’s choreography.

You didn’t forget.
You chose.
And we chose to record it.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 / 2004
    Breach of duty to ensure parental involvement and child voice in all relevant safeguarding processes

  • Working Together to Safeguard Children (Statutory Guidance)
    Violation of principles of family participation, transparency, and informed engagement

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8
    Interference with family life and lawful parental responsibilities

  • Equality Act 2010
    Procedural discrimination against a disabled parent requiring written communication


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a scheduling error.
It was a procedural decision.

This was not a family meeting.
It was an institutional monologue.

Children don’t exist to be discussed.
They exist to be included.

And when you forget to invite the father —
We don’t resend the invitation. We file the complaint.

⟡ “We Flagged Harm. They Filed It as Admin.” ⟡

Westminster Service Manager Forwards Urgent Health and Safeguarding Complaint to Complaints Team, Ignoring Disability and Risk Disclosure

Filed: 18 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-08
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-02-18_SWANK_Email_FionaDiasSaxena_ReferralToComplaints_UrgentHealthDisclosure.pdf
Summary: Fiona Dias-Saxena responds to Polly Chromatic’s urgent safeguarding and health complaint by referring the matter to Westminster’s complaints department — no clinical action or risk intervention followed.


I. What Happened

On 17 February 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a letter titled “Urgent Concerns Regarding Health and Social Worker Conduct” to Sarah Newman and others.
On 18 February, Fiona Dias-Saxena replied:

“I have included your attached note to the Complaints Team to respond to you.”

She copied:

  • RBKC’s FCS Response Team

  • Kirsty Hornal (named in the complaint)

  • Sarah Newman (Director)

There is no mention of safeguarding reassessment, risk strategy, or communication adjustment.


II. What the Record Establishes

• Your urgent disclosure was downgraded to an administrative complaint
• The Service Manager acknowledged the letter but did not act on its contents
• Kirsty Hornal — the subject of the complaint — was cc’d without conflict check
• There was no escalation to clinical review, even though the email was cc’d to NHS (Philip Reid)
• This reinforces the claim that Westminster used the complaints route to suppress safeguarding failings


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because sending a trauma disclosure to the complaints team is like sending smoke to a filing cabinet.
Because when risk is visible and ignored, it becomes institutional negligence.
Because this was a test — and they failed it by routing it to admin.

SWANK archives every time a safeguarding failure was disguised as bureaucracy.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that urgent health risks belong in the complaints inbox.
We do not accept that cc’ing the named staff counts as due process.
We do not accept that emotional and medical distress is a filing category.

This wasn’t customer service. It was a duty of care failure.
And SWANK has the email to prove it.

Executive Authority by Selective Silence



⟡ SWANK Leadership Accountability Archive – RBKC/WCC ⟡
“She Was Copied Into Every Disclosure. She Replied to None.”
Filed: 3 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/RBKC-WCC/SARAHNEWMAN-COMPLAINT-01

Author: Polly Chromatic


I. When Leadership Means Never Replying — But Always Knowing

This complaint, addressed to Sarah Newman, Executive Director of Children’s Services for both RBKC and Westminster, documents a sustained failure of leadership across boroughs, statutory duties, and legal disclosures.

For over 18 months, Sarah Newman:

  • Was directly copied into disability disclosures, safeguarding complaints, and medical evidence

  • Responded to none

  • Delegated to staff who caused repeated procedural and emotional harm

  • Failed to intervene in unlawful contact, safeguarding retaliation, and neglect of known adjustments

This wasn’t oversight.
It was administrative insulation wrapped in plausible deniability.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That her position gives her authority across two boroughs, yet she exercised none of it to protect

  • That she allowed:

    • Retaliatory safeguarding threats

    • Disability rights violations

    • Re-traumatisation through unlawful communication

  • That she received full chronology, legal letters, and evidence — and still replied only when it suited optics

This isn’t absence.
It’s leadership by intentional omission.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because being copied into harm and remaining silent is not leadership — it is endorsement by inaction.
Because structural misconduct requires hierarchical memory.
Because when accountability rises to the top, so must the archive.

We filed this because:

  • You cannot ignore 18 months of documentation and expect impunity

  • The person in charge of safeguarding cannot safeguard only herself

  • No one that high up should operate with this much selective visibility

Let the record show:

The children were visible.
The mother was documented.
The harm was disclosed.
And Sarah Newman — was always included.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept managerial silence as neutrality.
We do not accept “delegation” as a cloak for disregard.
We do not accept any safeguarding director who tolerates harm from within her own department.

Let the record show:

She was informed.
She was resourced.
She was notified repeatedly.

And now — she is formally recorded.

This wasn’t just a failure to lead.
It was an executive performance of avoidance —
and SWANK turned it into a permanent file.

Polly Chromatic Forwards Refusal Notice and Police Report to Blackfords and Merali Beedle After Sending to Westminster and RBKC

Filed: 18 February 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-07
๐Ÿ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-02-18_SWANK_EmailChain_Blackfords_RefusalNotice_PoliceReport_Kirsty.pdf
Summary: Email chain confirming legal service of refusal notice and police complaint regarding Kirsty Hornal to solicitors and safeguarding personnel across multiple boroughs.


I. What Happened

On 18 February 2025 at 09:50 AM, Polly Chromatic forwarded the following documents:

– Her Formal Refusal to Cooperate Notice
– A police report against Kirsty Hornal

These were sent to:

  • Simon O'Meara (Blackfords)

  • Laura Savage (Merali Beedle)

  • Sarah Newman (Westminster)

  • Samira Issa, Glen Peache, Rhiannon Hodgson, and others at RBKC

  • NHS contact Philip Reid

  • Additional cc to government accounts

The forwarding email clearly references attachment of both files and provides full service trail.


II. What the Record Establishes

• The refusal notice and police complaint were formally submitted and disseminated
• Kirsty Hornal was under active police complaint before issuing any PLO letter
• Legal counsel (Blackfords, Merali Beedle) was in the loop — ensuring chain of custody
• Safeguarding leads and borough management received documentation
• Timeline confirms retaliation occurred after formal legal notification


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because retaliation isn't just unethical — it's traceable.
Because every email sent before the PLO becomes a defence against its legality.
Because legal counsel receipt makes the silence louder.

SWANK logs the moment legal and safeguarding systems were told — and did nothing.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that PLOs can be issued against police complainants.
We do not accept that silence after notice equals innocence.
We do not accept that the archive has no memory.

This wasn’t just an email. It was a legal marker — and they ignored it.
