Summary: The forensic reconstruction of a single administrative truth: when Westminster was asked for its records, it replied with a removal order.
I. What Happened
6 June 2025 – Audit Demand Issued
SWANK London Ltd. formally demanded that Westminster disclose all placement records, third-party agency contracts, and patterns of retaliatory removals dating from January 2023 onward.
7 June 2025 – Threat of Supervision Order
Within twenty-four hours, social worker Kirsty Hornal issued a baseless “supervision order threat,” violating established disability accommodations and statutory communication protocols.
16 June 2025 – Audit Follow-Up Filed
After Westminster’s silence, SWANK escalated the oversight notice to multiple regulatory bodies and the Administrative Court.
23 June 2025 – Emergency Protection Order (EPO)
Seventeen days after the audit demand — and one week after formal escalation — Westminster executed a police-assisted removal of four U.S. citizen children on disproven medical allegations originating from St Thomas’ Hospital.
II. What the Document Establishes
• Westminster’s actions constitute procedural retaliation in response to a lawful oversight request.
• The Emergency Protection Order of 23 June 2025 was not protective but defensive — a bureaucratic shield against audit disclosure.
• Safeguarding law was repurposed as an instrument of institutional panic.
• The children’s welfare was subordinated to Westminster’s fear of exposure.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To establish the direct causal link between oversight and retaliation.
• To demonstrate that Westminster’s safeguarding conduct collapses under scrutiny.
• To preserve this chronology as formal evidence of abuse of power through procedural disguise.
• Because when truth knocks, the guilty call the police.
IV. Legal & Rights Framework
• Children Act 1989 — misuse of EPO powers contrary to the welfare principle.
• Equality Act 2010 — breach of disability-related communication adjustments.
• Article 8, ECHR — unlawful interference with family life.
• UNCRC & UNCRPD — international obligations on child welfare and disability rights violated.
• Hague Convention — failure to notify foreign jurisdiction of U.S. citizen minors.
• Bromley Family Law (14th ed.) — condemns misuse of protective measures to suppress accountability.
• Amos Human Rights Law (2nd ed.) — defines retaliatory state interference as a breach of proportionality under Article 8.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not protection.
This is self-defence by institution.
SWANK London Ltd. asserts that Westminster’s conduct represents the collapse of lawful safeguarding into self-protective aggression.
The timeline leaves no ambiguity: lawful oversight was met with unlawful force.
This event, lodged permanently in the SWANK Evidentiary Archive, stands as a textbook case of procedural abuse in response to accountability.
