The Legal Standard on Partnership, Contact, and the State’s Duty to Get Out of the Way
Or, Public Law Theory v. Local Authority Fantasy
Metadata
Filed: 13 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A12-BROMLEY
Court File Name: 2025-07-13_Addendum_Bromley631_ContactAndPartnership
Summary:
Westminster failed every principle of proportionality, contact maintenance, and statutory duty discussed in Bromley’s Family Law (p.631).
I. What Happened
Westminster Children’s Services removed four American children from their disabled mother and immediately violated multiple key principles of public law. No proportionality test. No genuine risk analysis. No consultation. No lawful justification for the suspension of contact.
All presumptions were reversed — not by the court, but by a team of social workers improvising as if their discretion were statute.
II. What the Text Establishes
On page 631, Bromley’s Family Law outlines four core tenets:
Courts must reject removal orders if viable alternatives exist
Authorities must work in partnership — not secrecy, avoidance, or pretext
Contact is presumed and must be upheld unless rebutted lawfully
Good social work respects identity, continuity, and stability — not performance metrics
Westminster ignored all four. With flair.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because Bromley isn’t a quaint academic pamphlet — it’s a legal cornerstone.
Because no one who read page 631 would endorse what happened here.
Polly Chromatic was not consulted. She was not involved in planning.
She was not supported, informed, or invited to co-construct care.
She was erased — and contact was cut, not with justification, but with managerial indifference.
This page proves that Westminster didn’t apply the law.
They rehearsed their preferred outcome — and delivered it as if it were lawful.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, s.31 and s.1(5) – No lawful threshold or best interests justification
ECHR Article 8 – Right to family life severed without necessity
DfE Statutory Guidance – Breach of duty to work in partnership and promote contact
Bromley, p.631 – Fully ignored. With prejudice.
V. SWANK’s Position
This isn’t theory. It’s statute. It’s guidance. It’s the legal spine of safeguarding.
And yet, Westminster operated as if Bromley were fanfiction — optional, ignorable, and non-binding.
The contact was presumed. The partnership was required. The proportionality test was fundamental.
None were applied.
So we file this post not with surprise — but with precision.
And yes — it has been highlighted in pink, orange, blue, and purple.
Because nothing says institutional shame like annotated evidence.
