Summary: Social work treated maternal feedback as offence, proving hostility over care and persecution over reflection.
I. What Happened
For over a decade, Polly Chromatic witnessed safeguarding interventions defined by suspicion and hostility, never support. She offered feedback — informed by her expertise in Human Development — to improve practice. Instead, Westminster misread awareness as hostility, mistaking constructive critique for personal affront.
II. What the Document Establishes
Culture of Suspicion: Parents and children disbelieved by default.
Hostility over Care: Harassment displaced support.
Emotional Harm: Children punished when asserting autonomy.
Misuse of Power: Allegations escalated even when disproven.
Expertise Ignored: Developmental science disregarded.
Feedback Misread: Awareness treated as offence.
Denial of Social Justice: Equity and fairness abandoned.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Feedback is not hostility — it is accountability. This record proves that Westminster’s safeguarding culture refuses reflection, converting awareness into persecution. It also contributes to the Director’s doctoral dataset evidencing systemic retaliation and institutional fragility.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
Children Act 1989 – Duty to promote welfare abandoned.
Articles 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14 ECHR – Degrading treatment, unfair hearing, unlawful interference, chilled communication, obstructed association, discrimination.
Protocol 1, Article 2 ECHR – Education obstructed by hostility to homeschooling.
UNCRC Articles 3, 9, 12, 16 – Best interests, family life, children’s voices, and privacy violated.
UNCRPD Articles 4, 7, 22, 24 – Disabled parents/children denied accommodations and stability.
ICCPR Article 17 – Arbitrary interference with family and honour.
ICESCR Articles 10 & 13 – Family protection and education subverted.
Equality Act 2010, ss.19 & 20 – Indirect discrimination and failure to adjust.
Social Work England Standards – Reflection and accountability ignored.
Bromley, Family Law (15th ed., p.640): Safeguarding by coercion or error is void; disbelief of parental truth is coercion.
Amos, Human Rights Law (2022): Proportionality under Article 8 requires necessity; hostility is neither.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not safeguarding.
This is persecution of awareness.
We do not accept hostility as lawful practice.
We reject safeguarding cultures that punish feedback.
We will archive every refusal of reflection until accountability is forced.
