I. What Happened
On 16 June 2025, Kimberley Caruth of CAFCASS emailed Polly Chromatic to announce she had been appointed as the Children’s Guardian in unspecified court proceedings. This was the first notice Polly Chromatic received of an Interim Supervision Order application — no service, no hearing notification, no opportunity for legal response.
Caruth requested a home visit and informed the parent that a solicitor would be appointed for the children. Despite a documented requirement for written communication only, the email includes mention of an attempted phone call — and an invitation for the mother to schedule an access window for an unannounced process.
II. What the Email Establishes
⟡ Appointment of representation without due notice or consent
⟡ Surveillance disguised as concern — a home visit framed as “best interests”
⟡ Institutional presumption of access to disabled parent’s home during live litigation
⟡ Implied legitimacy of unserved court applications
⟡ Tone of gentle intrusion — polished civility concealing jurisdictional trespass
This was not engagement. It was intrusion by soft furnishings.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because CAFCASS does not operate above law, and no Guardian can appear mid-proceedings without judicial service. This message does not reflect participation — it reflects installation. It assumes consent where process has not occurred. SWANK logs it not to acknowledge authority — but to expose how power arrives wearing flats and a clipboard.
We do not permit velvet trespass. We document it.
IV. Procedural Breaches & Concerns
Children Act 1989: Guardian appointment must follow formal notice and fair process
Article 6, HRA 1998 – Right to fair hearing: parent unaware of underlying court applications
Disability Rights Protocol – failure to uphold written-only communication boundaries
Judicial Review implications – attempt to bypass litigant-in-person through Guardian pretext
V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t advocacy. It was annexation.
This wasn’t contact. It was court theatre without curtain.
SWANK does not accept post-facto appointments as lawful insertion.
We do not regard child representation as neutral when introduced by stealth.
And we certainly do not open the door to emissaries of unserved orders.
