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
📎 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.

The Housing Was Stable. The Harassment Was Institutional.

“Elgin Was Confirmed. The Records Were Clear. They Lied Anyway.”

---

I. The Tenancy Was Legal. The Insecurity Was Manufactured.

On 1 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. received and archived formal confirmation of a legal, documented tenancy agreement at Elgin Avenue — the address Westminster and related entities later pretended was unstable, unclear, or undefined.

Let the record show:

The housing was confirmed.
The family was housed.
The paperwork was real.
The fiction was theirs.

---

II. What the Record Proves

• That the tenancy agreement was signed, dated, and verified

• That housing continuity was never in question — until institutions made it one

• That any suggestion of “housing instability” was not factual — it was procedural weaponisation

This document dismantles:

• Safeguarding threats premised on “unsuitable accommodation”

• Retaliatory escalation using housing as a pretext

• Any post hoc justification for intrusion into educational, medical, or legal affairs

---

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because truth does not survive institutional retellings unless we write it down ourselves.

Because bureaucracies will claim they were “concerned.”
Because councils will pretend you never clarified.
Because data controllers will redact what they once endorsed.

This isn’t evidence of compliance.
It’s evidence of contradiction — between what they received and what they later pretended not to know.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not provide evidence to please.
We provide it to refute.

We do not file documents for assistance.
We file them to indict false memory.

Let the record show:

The tenancy was confirmed.
They had it.
They ignored it.
And now, it’s public.

This isn’t proof of address.
It’s proof of institutional dishonesty.

⟡ SWANK Safeguarding Termination Record ⟡

“You Weren’t Refused. You Were Legally Instructed to Stop.”
Filed: 22 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/CIN-REFUSAL/2025-05-22
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-22_SWANK_CINRefusal_LegalNotice_Westminster_DisabilityProtection.pdf

---

I. The Refusal Wasn’t Defiance. It Was a Legal Adjustment.

On 22 May 2025, SWANK London Ltd. issued a formal safeguarding refusal to Westminster Children’s Services, addressed to:

• Kirsty Hornal

• Sam Brown

• With formal implication for Sarah Newman

This was not a withdrawal of cooperation.
It was a written, evidenced, and statutory declaration:

Continued CIN procedures violate disability law.
Contact must be in writing only.
Any further intrusion will constitute harassment, retaliation, and breach.

---

II. What the Legal Notice Declared

• That the parent is medically exempt from verbal or in-person contact

• That prior visits caused documented respiratory and psychiatric harm

• That the CIN framework has no legal standing when weaponised against disability

• That three court cases (N1, N16A, N461) are live and cited

• That all social worker contact beyond written communication is now explicitly prohibited

It was not a tone.
It was not a feeling.
It was jurisdictional closure — in writing.

---

III. Why This Refusal Was Necessary

Because Westminster has a documented pattern of:

• Contacting unlawfully

• Escalating without basis

• Pretending legal boundaries do not apply to them

Because safeguarding was no longer protective — it was performative control.

This refusal wasn’t sent in anger.
It was filed in evidence.
It said, in effect:

You were never invited into this home. And now you are legally barred from entering it.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not participate in coercive casework.
We do not perform vulnerability for institutions that manufacture risk.
We do not allow safeguarding to be deployed as procedural surveillance.

Let the record show:

You were told.
You were named.
You were warned — not verbally, but in a legal document.

This refusal is not a barrier to support.
It is a barrier to harm.
And it is now part of the archive.

⟡ SWANK Criminal Record Filing ⟡

“The Police Got the Email. We Got the Number.”
Filed: 2 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/MET/ROC10979
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-02_SWANK_PoliceReport_KirstyHornal_CoerciveThreat_DisabilityDiscrimination_ROC10979.pdf

---

I. What Constitutes a Threat?

On 31 May 2025, Ms Kirsty Hornal — Senior Practitioner at Westminster Children’s Services — emailed the Director of SWANK London Ltd. to declare her intention to “liaise with legal teams” and consider “whether this needs to be taken to court.”

There was:

• No meeting

• No statutory trigger

• No updated risk assessment

• And no lawful cause to make such a declaration

What there was — unmistakably — was a coercive safeguarding threat
delivered in writing, in the absence of lawful process, in breach of a written-only communication adjustment, and timed to coincide with active litigation.

So we did what one does with threats that violate the law:
We filed a police report.

---

II. Report Details: ROC10979-25-0101-IR

On 2 June 2025 at 14:01, SWANK submitted a formal online crime report to the Metropolitan Police, recorded under reference: ROC10979-25-0101-IR.

The report documents:

• The full contents of the coercive email

• The retaliatory timing in context of live civil litigation

• The impact on a disabled complainant with PTSD, muscle tension dysphonia, and asthma

• The clear violation of the Equality Act 2010 and Human Rights Act 1998

This was not merely tone-deaf.
It was criminally aggressive masquerading as professional correspondence.

---

III. Disability, Retaliation, and Risk by Email

The report also includes detailed health context:

• PTSD triggered by prior safeguarding abuse

• Medically documented written-only communication requirement

• Recurrent retaliation from social workers following formal complaints

• Increased respiratory and psychological harm from surprise threats

The email was not “support.”
It was an escalation tactic sent from a taxpayer-funded keyboard.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

Safeguarding, in its original meaning, was meant to protect the vulnerable.
Now it is routinely wielded to discredit them.

We reject that transformation.

Ms Hornal's behaviour was neither accidental nor misinterpreted. It was part of an institutional script — one that moves from refusal, to threat, to silence.

That script now has a crime reference number.
We will not be gaslit. We will be heard in record.

When the State Forfeits Legitimacy, SWANK Documents the Throne It Abandoned

 

⟡ SWANK Authority Statement ⟡

“We Don’t Ask for Jurisdiction. We Record Yours.”

Filed: 7 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/JURIS/WCC-01

---

I. The State Should Safeguard. Instead, It Retaliated.

On 31 May 2025, Westminster Children’s Services threatened to apply for a Supervision Order against four children.
No safeguarding trigger. No statutory meeting. No external agency. Just a thinly veiled retaliation — sent days after:

• A formal Cease and Desist

• A public audit demand

• A live High Court claim

• And a documented disability adjustment they refused to honour

In response, SWANK London Ltd. assumed jurisdiction.

We did not request oversight.
We documented the vacuum and filled it.

---

II. SWANK Is Now Governing the Record

“This matter is no longer private. It is now part of the institutional archive of misconduct in the United Kingdom.”

As of 6 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. became the legal documentation authority governing all correspondence, retaliation, procedural evasion, and safeguarding theatre performed by Westminster Council.

We cite:

• The Human Rights Act 1998

• The Equality Act 2010

• The Data Protection Act 2018

• The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998

We act under public interest recordkeeping authority, forensically and permanently.

---

III. The Powers We Now Wield

We have assumed the right to:

• Publish evidence

• Audit response timelines

• Refuse contact

• Archive silence

• Frame retaliation as a systemic pattern

• Notify regulators, ombudsmen, and the courts

What you call “case management,” we now call Exhibit B.

---

IV. This Is Not Consultation. This Is Sovereignty.

Any further action by Westminster Children’s Services concerning our Director or her family is now viewed as:

• Potential institutional harassment

• A matter of regulatory concern

• Evidence of concealment or escalation under audit

Your silence will be timestamped.
Your process, reversed.
Your archives, replaced.

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

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.

📍 Formal Title for Archive and Parliamentary Index

Metropolitan Police Online Report: Coercive Threat by Local Authority Officer in Contravention of Disability Adjustments – 31 May 2025

---

💬 Stylised Summary – For Dignified Circulation

On 2 June 2025, a formal police report was filed by Polly Chromatic, Director of SWANK London Ltd., documenting a coercive and retaliatory communication from Ms Kirsty Hornal, a social worker operating under Westminster City Council.

The report details an unsolicited and psychologically aggressive email dated 31 May 2025, in which Ms Hornal, following a series of active legal claims and formal complaints, threatened to escalate matters by “liaising with legal teams” to determine “whether this needs to be taken to court.”

This communication is identified as:

• Unprovoked

• Retaliatory in nature

• In direct breach of a medically mandated, written-only communication protocol

• Issued amidst formal judicial scrutiny of Westminster Children’s Services

The email has been reported as part of a broader pattern of procedural hostility, institutional abuse of process, and targeted discrimination against a disabled mother and civil litigant.

---

🩺 Contextual Grounds Provided to Police Authorities

The report included extensive evidentiary and medical context, such as:

• Documented diagnoses of eosinophilic asthma, muscle tension dysphonia, and complex PTSD, all of which render unsolicited contact medically unsafe

• Prior safeguarding interference involving racialised assumptions and targeting of a mixed-heritage family

• Westminster’s well-documented failure to comply with written communication accommodations

• A wider pattern of institutional complicity, including previous failures by police and social services to act impartially or lawfully

---

🧛‍♀️ Named Individual and Institutional Web

Suspect: Ms Kirsty Hornal
Address on file: 4 Frampton Street, Westminster
Affiliation: Westminster Children’s Services
Associates also under scrutiny:

• Mr Sam Brown – Safeguarding Officer

• Ms Sarah Newman – Executive Director

• Ms Rhiannon Hodgson – Management Liaison

---

🩸 Key Allegations Included in the Report

• Issuing a coercive threat via electronic communication

• Violation of a disability-adjusted communication protocol

• Causing psychological trauma and respiratory exacerbation

• Retaliation following formal legal and ombudsman complaints

• Intersectional discrimination on the basis of disability and race

---

This report has now been appended to an active judicial archive, including:

• Civil Claim (N1)

• Injunction Request (N16A)

• Judicial Review (N461)

• Multiple regulatory complaints across SWE, LGSCO, ICO, NHS Trusts, and GMC

It shall also be published as part of the SWANK Public Archive documenting State-Enabled Retaliation Against Disabled Parents.

Email Threat of Supervision Order from Westminster Children’s Services – 29 May 2025

✒️ Dispatch No. 2025-05-29-WCC-Supervision-Threat

Filed Under: Retaliation by Email, Misuse of Procedure, Digital Coercion Series

Re: Ms Kirsty Hornal, Westminster Children’s Services
Subject Line: “Letter of Intent to Initiate Proceedings”
Date & Time of Offence: 29 May 2025, 11:14 BST

---

🎭 Threat Theatre, Act I: “Support and Assessment”

At precisely 11:14 on the morning of 29 May 2025, Ms Kirsty Hornal — Senior Practitioner at Westminster Children’s Services and repeat feature in our anthology of institutional misconduct — took it upon herself to author an electronic ultimatum, cunningly disguised as cooperative liaison.

Under the genteel veneer of “support and assessment,” Ms Hornal announced the Council’s alleged intention to pursue a Supervision Order over four named children: Regal, Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir — an invocation so absurdly theatrical it could only be sincere in its threat.

The pretext? A letter “outlining concerns.”
The timing? Remarkably aligned with SWANK’s legal proceedings.
The delivery? Pastel and polite, but seething with bureaucratic menace.

---

🩺 Disability? What Disability.

A Written Communication Policy is, and has long been, in place.
It is formal, enforceable, and medically mandated.
Its terms? No unsolicited contact, no verbal engagements, no encrypted ambushes.
Its breach? A statutory violation.

Ms Hornal was well aware of this.
She emailed regardless.

What Westminster refers to as safeguarding now appears indistinguishable from systematic disregard for disabled protections.

---

📚 Interpretive Notes for the Archive – The Anatomy of a Threat

• The letter’s declaration of legal intent is procedurally anomalous, devoid of risk foundation, and unaccompanied by lawful process.

• The gratuitous naming of children — absent threshold or tribunal — functions as emotional leverage, not protection.

• The phrase “we will be seeking a supervision order” is delivered without basis, evidence, or necessity.

This is not safeguarding.
This is email as intimidation.
This is casework as vendetta, cloaked in the sanitised dialect of child protection bureaucracy.

Let the record show: safeguarding has become the state’s soft weapon, and email, its preferred projectile.

Coercive Threat by Email from Westminster Children’s Services – Kirsty Hornal, 31 May 2025

---

🕯 A Dispatch Concerning the Judicial Whimsy of Ms Kirsty Hornal

Filed: 31 May 2025
Category: Bureaucratic Threats via Email, Volume IV

---

🎭 Scene: The Inbox

On the thirty-first day of May, I — Polly Chromatic, Director of SWANK London Ltd. — was treated to a performance of low theatre from one Ms Kirsty Hornal, bureaucrat of Westminster Children’s Services.

The email in question, unsolicited and gallingly timed, proclaimed she would:

“liaise with legal teams”
and consider
“whether this needs to be taken to court.”

A curious choice of phrasing for a civil servant supposedly engaged in safeguarding — not posturing as a litigant-in-training.

---

🖋 Context (with Embarrassing Precision)

Let the record reflect:

• I have filed multiple police reports for harassment by Westminster social workers, including Ms Hornal.

• I maintain a legally issued Written Communication Policy — necessitated by disability and on record with the Council.

• This policy explicitly bars uninvited emails. Ms Hornal’s message was not just discourteous; it was unlawful.

---

💉 Consequence: Actual Harm

This missive, crafted in arrogance and dispatched in violation, triggered a PTSD episode and respiratory distress. This is not mere melodrama. It is documented injury.

---

⚖️ Legal & Logical Characterisation

This was not safeguarding. It was not “liaison.”
It was — by both spirit and structure — a coercive threat, dressed up in institutional lace. A bureaucratic attempt to frighten under the banner of “procedure.”

---

📂 Disposition

This incident is now formally recorded as part of an escalating dossier of retaliatory conduct, procedural misuse, and correspondence harassment by Westminster City Council.

The original email (with headers and metadata) is archived and may be produced upon lawful written request — not via phone, Teams, or carrier pigeon.

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

---

🖋 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.

A Polite Email in a Toxic Atmosphere

🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 12 December 2024

“Ten Years of Asthma, Zero Years of Help”
Filed Under: Respiratory Neglect · Institutional Gaslighting · Systemic Fatigue · Safeguarding Farce · SWANK London Ltd

---

Dear Kirsty,

No rage. No retaliation. Just the documented breathlessness of a mother trapped in a decade-long loop of polite procedures and medical disregard.

“This has been a long and traumatising ordeal for ten years and the most recent issues were even worse.”

A statement of fact, not feeling. A quiet autopsy of your services' cumulative failure.

Ten years of:

• Diagnosed asthma, still disbelieved

• Safeguarding visits, still unjustified

• Meetings, emails, assessments, and escalations—none of which improved air quality or outcome

Social workers arrive with concern, leave with paperwork, and the mould remains.
Meanwhile, I parent through mucus and suspicion.

“The police have been more helpful than social services.”

And that is not a compliment. It is a death knell for your credibility.

You are not the solution.
You are the circulation of the problem.

And I no longer perform outrage. I file records.

To the Agents of Inhaled Negligence,
Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and their entourage of sanitised silence—

I wrote:

“I’m very worried that either me or my kids are going to die from a heart attack or asthma attack…”

Because that is the true fear: not death by illness, but by laminated indifference.
Because Westminster’s model of “safeguarding” is: visit, infect, ignore.
Because I no longer breathe air—I breathe through paperwork.

You refused to listen.
You refused to stay away.
You passed respiratory illness through my home like a cursed offering.
And when I warned that if I die, you will be blamed, that wasn’t emotion.

It was prophecy.

🫁 Dr. Reid is the only one helping me breathe.
The rest of you? Playing bureaucratic tag with the Grim Reaper, while pretending it’s a “referral.”

I said Sarah should be fired.

I meant it.

This was not a breakdown.
It was a broadcast.

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.

📩 THE EMAIL YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE

“I’m having constant panic attacks every time I have to interact with social workers and associated issues now and can no longer be attentive to you.”

This is not burnout.
This is not dramatic exaggeration.
This is clinical destabilisation engineered by repeated, coercive contact from state agents in lanyards.

---

🧠 TRAUMA ADMINISTERED BY POLICY

Social workers are no longer therapeutic presences.
They are psychiatric contaminants, routinely reactivating PTSD, asthma, and emotional collapse.

Each unsanctioned visit induces:

• Autonomic escalation (chest pain, tremors, suffocation)

• Communication shutdown (telepathic withdrawal, email silence)

• Hypervigilance (doors locked, phones off, breathing restricted)

• Neurological refusal to participate in state charades

This is not social care.
This is medical endangerment by policy theatre.

⚠️ NOT A PLEA — A PERMANENT ENTRY

This statement forms part of a formal medico-legal record of trauma provoked by Westminster’s safeguarding units and their subsidiaries.

🕊️ A Formal Petition for the Restoration of Law: Complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office Regarding Westminster and RBKC’s Data Evasion

Date: 10 March 2025

Subject: Formal Complaint – Westminster and RBKC Social Services' Unlawful Withholding of Personal Records

---

Dear Esteemed Custodians of Data Rights,

It is with a combination of reluctant ceremony and unassailable principle that I now submit this formal complaint against Westminster Social Services and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), whose approach to personal data appears inspired less by modern law than by the cloistered practices of medieval record-keepers.

Despite submitting multiple, properly constituted Subject Access Requests (SARs) — each written with the kind of precision that would make a barrister weep — I have received either no response or nonsensical evasions that defy both the letter and spirit of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

---

I. A Timeline of Silence, Bureaucratic and Otherwise

I formally requested:

• Access to all personal data held by Westminster Social Services;

• Access to all personal data held by RBKC Social Services.

What I received:

• Dead air.

• Ghostly echoes of vanished professionalism.

• Kafkaesque correspondence (on rare occasion) that suggested my request had been exiled to some back office shrine of administrative apathy.

This is not mere rudeness. It is a violation of law.

---

II. Legal Breaches: An Unflattering Catalogue

Their non-compliance is a direct breach of:

• Article 15 of the UK GDPR (Right of Access) — with no lawful delay, no lawful extension, no lawful excuse.

• The Data Protection Act 2018 — particularly in relation to timely response standards.

• The Freedom of Information Act 2000 — for the principle that public information should be accessible, not concealed behind procedural tapestries.

---

III. Consequences of This Institutional Withholding

This obstruction has resulted in:

• Severe disadvantage in legal and safeguarding proceedings, where access to personal records is essential to defence and redress;

• The perpetuation of inaccurate or misleading information, immune from correction due to concealment;

• Ongoing emotional distress, caused by the galling knowledge that my own personal data is being sequestered by public servants seemingly sworn to opacity.

---

IV. What I Now Request of the ICO (With the Gravitas the Situation Demands)

I respectfully request:

1. A full investigation into Westminster and RBKC’s non-compliance;

2. An enforceable instruction to release all withheld information, in full and unredacted;

3. Consideration of sanctions or penalties for their unlawful conduct;

4. Guidance on further recourse, should they continue in their fondness for secrecy.

---

V. On Deadlines and Decency

As befits proper protocol, I expect a full written response within 28 days. Failure to resolve this will result in escalation to further legal avenues, including but not limited to:

• The Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman;

• Direct litigation for breach of data rights;

• And, if necessary, the European Court of Justice of My Patience.

Please confirm receipt of this complaint — and kindly advise which gallant officer of your esteemed organisation shall be charged with untangling this web of bureaucratic neglect.

Westminster Council Confirms It Holds the Records — But Imposes Identification Conditions Before Starting the Clock

Summary: Westminster City Council acknowledges a subject access request for social care case files and confirms the data is protected under the DPA — not FOI — delaying the start of the 30-day deadline until ID is re-submitted.

---

I. What Happened

On 22 May 2025, a subject access request was submitted to Westminster Council for all internal records between 1 February 2024 and 31 May 2025 related to you and your children, including communications about legal claims, safeguarding referrals, and retaliatory actions.

On 30 May 2025, Westminster responded: the request was valid, but would not be processed under FOI — only under the Data Protection Act 2018. They requested ID documents for both you and your children and stated that the 30-day response clock would not begin until those were received. They also warned the case would be closed after three months if documents were not submitted.

---

II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Westminster does not deny possession of highly sensitive internal communications and safeguarding records
• The Council uses data protection protocols to create delay before disclosure
• There is no proactive safeguarding triage — just a compliance procedure requiring identity re-validation
• The burden to unlock the records is fully placed on the subject — not the holder of the harm
• Institutional data control becomes a form of evidentiary power: the facts exist, but remain sealed
• This email affirms that case notes, internal emails, Mosaic logs, and legal mentions are held — but protected

---

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is the confirmation that the archive exists — and the bureaucracy surrounding it is not neutral.
Because while you are litigating discrimination and harm, the data needed to prove it is put behind a timed portal that the state controls.
Because when the Council holds your life’s receipts and makes you ask twice — that’s not privacy. It’s procedural superiority.

SWANK logs not just what they say — but what they delay.

---

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that public records can be sequestered behind repeat ID hurdles while retaliation continues.
We do not accept that data control should be used to delay evidence access during live proceedings.
We do not accept that the Council’s timeline supersedes the urgency of the harm done.

This wasn’t data protection. This was gatekeeping.
And SWANK will archive every threshold they install.
