“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

Ex parte Chromatic: In the Matter of Parental Affection Recast as Suspicion



⟡ On Heir’s Reaction to Physical Gesture ⟡

Filed: 13 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/CHILDREN-VOICES
Download PDF: 2025-09-13_Addendum_HeirReaction.pdf
Summary: Records Heir’s unusual response to a parental gesture, evidencing altered perceptions under Local Authority influence.


I. What Happened

• During a supervised contact session, the Director briefly patted Heir on the lower back.
• Heir immediately questioned the gesture, which was unusual given her history of comfort with normal parental affection.
• This marked a departure from past family interactions, raising concern about environmental influence.


II. What the Document Establishes

• Unfamiliar response – inconsistent with the child’s upbringing and previous experiences of affection.
• Shift in awareness – suggests potential coaching or altered perception within Local Authority care.
• Protective strength – Heir demonstrated autonomy and confidence in questioning the gesture.
• Pattern evidence – contributes to the broader record of siblings exhibiting altered voices and comfort levels under Westminster supervision.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

• Legal relevance – evidences external influence on children’s authentic voices.
• Policy significance – illustrates distortion of safeguarding into suspicion.
• Historical preservation – ensures that this subtle but important change is archived.
• Pattern recognition – connects to prior addenda on mistrust and systemic safeguarding collapse.


IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989 – s.1(1) welfare paramountcy, s.17 duty to support, s.22(4) duty to respect authentic wishes, s.47 duty to investigate misused.
• Human Rights Act 1998, s.6 – failure to act compatibly with Convention rights.
• UNCRC – Articles 3, 9, and 12 ignored.
• ECHR – Articles 3, 6, and 8 breached through interference and distortion.
• Equality Act 2010, s.20 – adjustments denied where maternal communication reframed as hostility.
• Professional Standards – Social Work England duties and Nolan Principles of accountability discarded.
• Policy & Guidance – Working Together (2018), NSPCC guidance on touch, UNICEF child protection framework, Munro Review all disregarded.
• Academic Authority – Bromley’s Family Law on misuse of suspicion; Amos’ Human Rights Law on proportionality.
• Case Law – Re KD (1988)Re C and B (2001)Re L (2007)Re B (2013)YC v UK (2012): suspicion is not evidence, reunification must be the aim.


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not evidence of misconduct. This is evidence of institutional distortion.

• We do not accept Heir’s authentic voice being reshaped into suspicion.
• We reject Westminster’s culture of hostility that reclassifies affection as harm.
• We will document every alteration in children’s natural responses under state care.

Ex parte Chromatic: In the Matter of Safeguarding Inverted into Harm



⟡ On the Harmful Orientation of Social Workers ⟡

Filed: 14 September 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/SW-HARM
Download PDF: 2025-09-14_Addendum_SocialWorkersHarmfulOrientation.pdf
Summary: Documents that social workers’ stance toward children has been hostile, controlling, and injurious rather than protective.


I. What Happened

• Social workers intervened in proceedings relating to the four U.S. citizen children of Polly Chromatic.
• Interventions consistently conveyed suspicion, hostility, and punitive control.
• Actions occurred during Local Authority case management and safeguarding oversight.
• The visible impact has been emotional harm, destabilisation, and increased stress for the children.


II. What the Document Establishes

• Procedural breaches – statutory duties under the Children Act 1989 were not observed.
• Evidentiary value – provides written record that interventions themselves caused harm.
• Educational significance – illustrates failure of safeguarding practice when trust is replaced with suspicion.
• Power imbalance – children’s autonomy suppressed; parental voice discredited.
• Structural pattern – demonstrates systemic inversion where safeguarding is weaponised.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

• Legal relevance – breaches of statutory duty and human rights protections.
• Educational precedent – evidence that hostile safeguarding is institutionally corrosive.
• Historical preservation – formal record of how professionals harmed rather than protected.
• Pattern recognition – aligns with prior entries on distrust, retaliation, and misuse of safeguarding powers.


IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Children Act 1989, s.22(3) – duty to promote children’s welfare.
• Children Act 1989, s.1(3) – welfare checklist on emotional needs ignored.
• UNCRC, Articles 3 and 12 – best interests and right to be heard disregarded.
• ECHR, Articles 3, 6, and 8 – degrading treatment, fairness breaches, and interference with family life.
• Equality Act 2010, s.20 – disability adjustments denied.
• Bromley’s Family Law – misuse of non-cooperation condemned.
• Amos, Human Rights Law – proportionality and family participation required but absent.
• Re L (2007) and Re B (2013) – suspicion is not evidence; proportionality is mandatory.
• Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) – child-centred practice abandoned.
• Social Work England Professional Standards – wellbeing and integrity duties breached.


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not safeguarding. This is institutional harm disguised as child protection.

• We do not accept suspicion as a lawful substitute for evidence.
• We reject hostility as a safeguarding method.
• We will document every instance where welfare law is inverted into harm.
