“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

Chromatic v Westminster City Council – On the Arbitrary Suspension of Lawful Education and the Rise of Retaliatory Safeguarding



⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Archive

Filed Date: 16 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-S01-WESTMISTAKES
Court File Name: 2025-07-16_SWANK_Summary_Westminster_TopViolations.pdf
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Summary: Documentation of the most severe and ongoing legal, ethical, and safeguarding violations committed by Westminster Children’s Services


❖ SWANK Summary:

“Top 7 Institutional Violations by Westminster Children’s Services”

A catalogue of legal, procedural, and ethical failures currently under formal and international review.


1. Interference with Lawful Home Education

Westminster disregarded a fully documented and academically rich home education programme that had been in place for years. Without consultation, they disrupted stable, legally compliant provision and imposed inferior tutoring while confiscating learning devices.
Breaches: Education Act 1996 (Section 7), Article 2 Protocol 1 ECHR


2. Enforced Digital and Developmental Isolation

The children were stripped of iPads, iPhones, and bicycles, denied access to outdoor activity and digital communication — despite no court order authorising such deprivation.
Breaches: Article 8 ECHR (private/family life), Children Act 1989 (Sections 22 & 47)


3. Suppression of Children’s Views (Especially Regal, Age 16)

Regal is Gillick competent and vocal. His objections were ignored. He was told he may not express views about court, family, or personal restrictions.
Breaches: UNCRC Articles 12 & 13, Gillick Competence, Article 10 ECHR (freedom of expression)


4. Institutional Retaliation Post-Filing

Every legal submission filed by the mother (e.g., PLO refusal, N244, Judicial Review) was met with escalated institutional interference — a pattern of retaliation and intimidation.
Breaches: Public Law Principles, Human Rights Act 1998, Equality Act 2010 (Disability Discrimination)


5. Improper Use of Emergency Protection Order

The EPO issued on 23 June 2025 was secured without credible evidence of immediate risk, and without full disclosure of procedural context or medical disability.
Breaches: Children Act 1989 (Section 44), Family Procedure Rules, Proportionality Doctrine


6. Sibling Separation and Excessive Surveillance

Regal is being held apart from his siblings for over ten hours a day; carers have enforced excessive monitoring. The emotional harm is visible and escalating.
Breaches: Children Act 1989 (Welfare Principle), UNCRC Article 9 (family unity)


7. Failure to Recognise and Respond to Dual Citizenship

Despite clear documentation, the Local Authority has not acknowledged the children’s U.S. citizenship or triggered proper consular notifications or international considerations.
Breaches: Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, UK-U.S. bilateral protections, Family Court jurisdictional duty


SWANK Position:

Westminster Children’s Services have demonstrated not just procedural failure but institutional misuse of authoritymisrepresentation of parental capability, and a pattern of retaliatory safeguarding. These actions constitute a sustained legal violation and are now under evidentiary review by the Family Court, the U.S. State Department, the United Nations, and professional regulatory bodies.
