Formal complaint filed to Social Work England citing retaliatory safeguarding and disability discrimination

I. What Happened

On 21 May 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to Social Work England against Westminster Council’s Kirsty Hornal. The complaint enumerated a series of professional violations including:

Escalating to PLO proceedings in retaliation for lawful litigation and data subject access
Refusing to honour a documented disability accommodation for written-only communication
Gaslighting the impact of PTSD and chronic illness by recasting silence as “non-engagement”
Including false medical information in formal safeguarding documents
Inflicting systemic emotional harm through procedural sabotage

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Abusing safeguarding escalation post-litigation; falsifying records; ignoring reasonable adjustments
Human impact: Distress, medical regression, and educational instability for disabled mother and children
Power dynamics: Weaponising child protection as institutional retaliation
Institutional failure: Permitting social workers to disregard medical documentation without oversight
Unacceptable conduct: Conflating disability with defiance, and litigation with risk

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this isn’t a one-off.
Because the minute a disabled parent asserts legal rights, a social worker in Westminster calls it neglect.
Because retaliation in child protection is the final sanctuary of bureaucrats who’ve run out of arguments.
Because silence, as strategy, was pathologised — then punished.
SWANK archived this not as drama, but as doctrine: the misapplication of safeguarding is a tool of civil control.
And what was once invisible now has a PDF.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Sections 17 & 47 – failure to promote welfare, misuse of threshold
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – refusal of reasonable adjustments, discriminatory practice
Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.1, 1.3, 5.1 – integrity, respect for dignity, and misuse of authority
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – interference with family life through retaliatory escalation

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was strategic retaliation cloaked in statutory language.

We do not accept that formal disability documentation can be ignored without consequence.
We do not accept that lawful action justifies intrusive scrutiny.
We do not accept that safeguarding means silencing.

We document this not to inform the system — but to outlive it.
Kirsty Hornal’s conduct is not just unfit for practice. It is a masterclass in how institutional authority cloaks discrimination in duty.

Don’t Record Us Breaking the Rules — That’s Harassment

⟡ “You Filmed Us Breaking the Rules — So Now We’re Threatening You for Filming” ⟡
When the safeguarding process is exposed, Westminster responds not with correction — but with coercion.

Email from Deputy Service Manager Sam Brown threatening procedural consequences for lawful evidence-gathering, re-framing documentation as harassment and ignoring statutory communication adjustments.

I. What Happened

On 23 April 2025, Sam Brown — a new figurehead in Westminster’s safeguarding theatre — sent this email in response to ongoing written complaints and evidentiary submissions from Polly Chromatic. Rather than address any of the claims made, he chose to:

Recast written-only communication (a medical necessity) as disruptive
Assert that recording social workers is potentially illegal or intimidating
Imply that the parent’s efforts to document harassment could lead to consequences
Reiterate participation in the Public Law Outline (PLO) process as required — while still misrepresenting its legal basis
Impose arbitrary boundaries on when and how the parent may raise concerns

This letter is not a response. It is a warning dressed as a welcome.

II. What the Document Establishes

Westminster is aware they are being recorded — and they do not like it
The local authority treats written communication from disabled residents as hostile
Officials are now openly retaliating against legal and procedural accountability
The PLO process is being used as a disciplinary mechanism, not a protective one
The council’s own documentation is more incriminating than the evidence being submitted

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the moment where politeness ends and procedure is used to silence, not to serve. SWANK archived this letter to demonstrate how Westminster has transitioned from concealment to active threat — now targeting lawful communication, video evidence, and disabled autonomy.

SWANK filed this to:

Show how the authority has reframed transparency as aggression
Highlight retaliatory use of safeguarding frameworks in response to complaint
Build a public record of institutional conduct designed to avoid scrutiny at all costs

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 20, 27 (disability discrimination, failure to adjust, victimisation)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (fair process), Article 10 (freedom of expression)
Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm caused by procedural misconduct
UK GDPR – Inaccuracy and suppression of individual data rights
Social Work England Standards – Misuse of authority, intimidation, and refusal to engage in ethical communication

V. SWANK’s Position

When a council begins to punish you for documenting their behaviour, you are not being protected. You are being managed. When they refuse to respond unless it's on their terms — even in the face of trauma, medical evidence, and human rights law — you are no longer in a safeguarding process. You are in a cover-up.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

Immediate retraction of implied legal threats against lawful evidence-gathering
Public clarification of the legal status of recordings taken in safeguarding contexts
Regulatory investigation into Sam Brown’s communications and procedural conduct

When the Adjustment Is Medical and the Refusal Is Personal.

⟡ “Adjustment Requested. Retaliation Received.” ⟡

A complete evidentiary annex submitted in legal proceedings documenting Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust’s refusal to implement lawful disability adjustments for Polly Chromatic and her children.

Filed: 5 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/GSTT/ADA-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-05_SWANK_GSTT_DisabilityAdjustmentAnnex_FailureToAccommodate.pdf
Includes correspondence, legal declarations, policy references, and clinical context proving discriminatory denial of medical adjustments.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic formally requested reasonable adjustments from GSTT due to:

Severe eosinophilic asthma
Muscle dysphonia and verbal communication barriers
PTSD from prior medical trauma
Sole caregiving for four disabled U.S. citizen children

Despite repeated notices, the Trust refused to implement even basic accommodations — instead escalating institutional surveillance and retaliation.

II. What the Record Establishes

That GSTT was provided with medical records, legal rights citations, and clinical justification
That multiple written requests for adjustments were ignored or denied
That denial of care was tied to Polly Chromatic’s lawful resistance and complaint activity
That these failures led to further medical harm and increased safeguarding pressure

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because the NHS is not exempt from the Equality Act.
Because disability rights aren’t suggestions —
they’re statutory obligations.

Because retaliation disguised as “clinical policy” is still retaliation.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010: Failure to make reasonable adjustments
Human Rights Act: Violation of right to healthcare and bodily autonomy
GMC Code of Practice breaches by participating clinicians
Retaliatory denial of care in response to complaints and documentation
Disability discrimination under UK and international law

V. SWANK’s Position

This annex was submitted to show the law was clear.
The request was legal. The need was medical. The refusal was ideological.

Now, the public has the file the NHS tried to ignore.

Formal consular intervention request following police-led seizure of all four children without hearing notice or disability accommodations.

I. What Happened

At 1:37 PM on Monday, 23 June 2025, four U.S. citizen children were removed from their home by UK authorities. The door was opened by a minor. No order was shown. No placement disclosed. The mother, Noelle Jasmine Meline Bonnee Annee Simlett, professionally known as Polly Chromatic, was disabled, nonverbal, and in litigation against the same authorities who removed them.

Despite:

Her documented medical need for written-only communication
An active Judicial Review against Westminster and RBKC
A pending N1 civil claim for £23 million
Multiple ongoing complaints to regulatory bodies
A legal archive showing procedural misconduct
— authorities forcibly removed her children without lawful participation, presence, or accessible notice.

All of it is captured on video.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

No emergency was in progress
No procedural fairness was extended
No care order was shown at the door
No disability accommodations were honoured
No destination disclosed for the children
No legal justification was provided in accessible form
No notice was given in advance — only a silent envelope, shoved into a mail chute, never acknowledged in writing

Meanwhile, the mother:

Had already submitted multiple reports of harassment
Had asked for all communication to be written
Was already suing them in court

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this isn’t child protection — it’s jurisdictional panic.
Because they didn’t just take children — they bypassed every structural safeguard to do it.
Because if they had a lawful order, they would have shown it.
Because you cannot seize American children from a disabled mother, during open litigation, and expect silence.
Because this wasn’t safeguarding.
It was a pre-emptive archive destruction attempt — and it failed.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 and 27 – failure to accommodate; victimisation
Children Act 1989, Section 47 – no threshold met; procedural overreach
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6, 8, and 14 – no fair trial; breach of family life; disability discrimination
UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018 – failure to provide written outcome or legal basis
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963) – failure to notify U.S. government of citizen child removal

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that children vanish at 1:37 PM because the mother couldn’t speak.
We do not accept that a care order lives in an envelope that never arrived by law.
We do not accept that retaliation wears a lanyard and files nothing.
We do not accept any process that forces a minor to open the door to his own removal.
We do not accept that silence equals consent.
We do not accept their secrecy.
We document it.

Retaliation Is Not a Safeguarding Strategy — It’s a Crime

A formal criminal referral to the Metropolitan Police, naming Kirsty Hornal, Sam Brown, and Sarah Newman for coordinated misconduct, retaliatory safeguarding abuse, and rights violations against a disabled U.S. family.

I. What Happened
After over a year of escalations, Westminster officials Kirsty Hornal, Sam Brown, and Sarah Newman coordinated unlawful safeguarding actions in response to lawful public documentation, all while knowingly targeting a disabled mother and four disabled U.S. children. These actions included covert monitoring, harassment, refusal of adjustments, and attempted supervisory coercion following public complaints and legal filings.

II. Why SWANK Filed It
Because disability isn’t a trigger.
Because lawful publication isn’t a provocation.
Because safeguarding misuse is not a strategy — it’s a criminal act when used to punish speech.
Because Westminster thought “institutional culture” would protect them. It won’t.

III. Violations Cited

Equality Act 2010 (S.15, S.20, S.27)
Human Rights Act 1998 (Articles 8, 10, 14)
Data Protection Act 2018 (Unlawful surveillance and misuse of personal data)
Malfeasance in Public Office
Perverting the Course of Justice

IV. What the Document Establishes

That retaliation has replaced safeguarding.
That disability is being wielded as justification for oppression, not protection.
That Westminster officials are not simply incompetent — they are complicit.
That public documentation is a defensive act, not an incitement.
That silence will not be performed.

V. SWANK’s Position
We are not waiting for institutions to regulate themselves.
We are documenting. We are escalating.
We are naming names.
And we are not going away.

The Email Where She Said She Understood — Before She Did the Opposite.

⟡ “You Were Warned. You Chose Retaliation.” ⟡

Formal complaint submitted to Social Work England against Kirsty Hornal for knowingly violating the Equality Act 2010 after written medical disclosures.

Filed: 19 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/SWE/COMPLAINT-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-19_SWANK_SWEComplaint_KirstyHornal_DisabilityRetaliation.pdf
This file constitutes the official complaint alleging that Kirsty Hornal escalated safeguarding measures after being notified of medical risk, speech disability, and legal boundaries.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic notified Kirsty Hornal (in writing) of:

Severe asthma
Muscle dysphonia
Panic disorder
Scheduled psychiatric assessment
Legal requirement for written-only communication

Hornal acknowledged this in email correspondence — and proceeded anyway, accelerating child protection actions in a manner that bypassed accommodations and triggered documented medical harm.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Kirsty Hornal knowingly disregarded disability notifications
She escalated proceedings after receiving legal and medical evidence
Written-only communication was unlawfully denied
The registrant’s actions forced emergency legal filings, including:
- N16A application
- Judicial Review pre-action
Her conduct constitutes procedural retaliation under the Equality Act 2010

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because this was not a safeguarding act — it was retaliation masquerading as care.
Because written communication is not a “request” — it’s a right.
Because acknowledging medical risk and then escalating anyway isn’t just negligent —
it’s a violation.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 — Sections 15 and 20
SWE Professional Standards — Failure to respect disability and mental health disclosures
Retaliatory procedural escalation after legal notification
Obstruction of judicial and medical processes
Safeguarding misuse to suppress lawful self-advocacy

V. SWANK’s Position

She was told. She confirmed.
Then she retaliated.
That’s not social work — that’s misconduct.

And now, her decision is permanently archived — with the Bates stamps to prove it.

You Didn’t File the Claim? They Didn’t Need It — They Had the Evidence.

An evidence bundle intended for EHRC outlining legal disability breaches and cross-agency retaliation, submitted in good faith but ultimately unacknowledged.

This file serves as a procedural notice to EHRC, containing relevant attachments that demonstrate systemic discrimination against a disabled mother and her U.S. citizen children.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic prepared and submitted supporting documentation to the Equality and Human Rights Commission. This included:

NHS discrimination complaints
Social care contact violation records
Housing/environmental hazard declarations
Legal correspondence documenting retaliatory safeguarding threats

Although a formal claim may not have been completed, this bundle operated as a notification trigger, formally putting the EHRC on record.

II. What the Bundle Establishes

That EHRC was made aware of ongoing rights violations
That legal records were provided evidencing discrimination and retaliation
That international protections for disabled individuals were likely breached
That multiple sectors (NHS, education, social care) engaged in pattern-based misconduct

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because failure to file a form does not equal failure to notify.
Because the EHRC was given all it needed — and still failed to act.
Because the archive doesn’t wait for permission to expose harm.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010: Multiple breaches across public bodies
Human Rights Act: Article 3 and Article 8 violations
EHRC’s own internal mandate to respond to disability rights risks
Cross-border negligence involving U.S. citizen minors
Professional misconduct in failure to intervene after receiving documentation

V. SWANK’s Position

Polly Chromatic gave them the evidence.
They gave her silence.

Now that silence is part of the public record —
and the discrimination is no longer deniable.

The Complaint Was Clear. The Escalation Was Deliberate.

This email was issued by Polly Chromatic to social workers and NHS leadership, requesting lawful communication adjustments and attaching proof of previous harm. The response: none — or worse.

I. What Happened

On 4 May 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a written complaint to:

Kirsty Hornal, Westminster
Sam Brown, Westminster
Philip Reid, NHS
Gideon Mpalanyi, RBKC

The message asserted legal communication rights under the Equality Act 2010 and notified recipients of serious misconduct. A PDF was attached.

Despite this, harassment escalated.

II. What the Email Establishes

A direct, timestamped complaint about institutional misconduct
Formal invocation of medical exemptions (asthma, muscle dysphonia)
Distribution to top-ranking officials in three major agencies
Legal framing of retaliation and disability discrimination
Yet no meaningful response or compliance followed

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when someone says, “This harms me,” and they attach proof —
and then you harm them anyway,
you’re no longer negligent.
You’re accountable.

This email is more than a complaint.
It’s a receipt.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010: Communication-based disability adjustments ignored
Children Act 1989: Procedural abuse under guise of safeguarding
General Medical Council (GMC) and Social Work England professional conduct failures
Civil and medical rights infringements
Retaliation for protected expression and documentation

V. SWANK’s Position

This message was sent in good faith.
It was ignored in bad faith.
The attachment said “help.”
Their response was “escalate.”

Now it’s in the archive —
and attached to the public record.

Formal safeguarding complaint to Ofsted citing retaliatory supervision threats, unlawful contact, and institutional misuse of child protection mechanisms against a disabled parent under audit.

I. What Happened

While under live audit and after receiving multiple legal notices, Westminster Children’s Services escalated safeguarding activity against a parent with a medically documented communication adjustment.

The parent requested written-only contact.

Instead, the Council:

Threatened a supervision order
Initiated surveillance-style visits
Refused to disclose the basis for ongoing interventions
Ignored disability-related legal protections
Withheld records relevant to placement, agency involvement, and reunification

This pattern of escalation occurred after receiving formal demands and while regulatory oversight was ongoing.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That safeguarding protocols were used to retaliate, not protect
That a disabled parent was treated as non-compliant for asserting legal rights
That unannounced visits, non-disclosure, and procedural silence became tactics
That Westminster's safeguarding narrative collapsed under audit pressure
That Ofsted oversight is now required due to complete local failure

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because safeguarding is not a punishment.

Because asking for written contact is not abuse — it’s a right.

And because when a Council uses child protection mechanisms to discredit a parent mid-audit,
it ceases to protect children and begins protecting itself.

This isn’t intervention.
It’s retaliation with a badge.

IV. Violations

Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023)
- Retaliatory safeguarding and record refusal breach statutory best practices
Equality Act 2010 – Section 20
- Disability adjustment ignored despite legal notification
Children Act 1989 – Section 47 abuse
- Investigative powers used without lawful foundation or transparency
Data Protection Act 2018
- Record access obstructed during audit

V. SWANK’s Position

When “safeguarding” becomes a reaction to oversight,
the child isn’t the one being protected.

Westminster didn’t safeguard.
They surveilled.

And now they’ve been reported — to Ofsted, and to the record.

Email demanding compliance with overdue Subject Access Request and citing Equality Act violations across multiple agencies

I. What Happened

On 22 April 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a formal legal notice via email to over a dozen public officials, including employees of Westminster Council, RBKC, Islington, and NHS services. The message asserted that repeated failures to fulfil a Subject Access Request (SAR) had now escalated to a breach of legal obligation. It further demanded written-only communication under the Equality Act 2010 and formally cited noncompliance and discrimination.

The message was also copied to medical consultant Philip Reid and included a closing invitation: those with withheld knowledge or complicity were invited to speak—quietly, safely, and off record.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Failure to comply with SAR deadlines; ignoring written communication adjustments
Human impact: Prolonged stress, disability flare-ups, and intensified institutional gaslighting
Power dynamics: Withholding of legally entitled data as a strategy to undermine legal redress
Institutional failure: Cross-agency complicity in data suppression and accommodation evasion
Unacceptable conduct: Systemic disregard for basic access rights and statutory timelines

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when public bodies want control, they stall the data.
Because nothing says retaliation like forgetting the law exists when you're asked for proof.
Because written-only adjustments were again ignored — not out of confusion, but out of strategy.
Because SAR evasion is not bureaucratic error. It is institutional mood.

This archive entry isn’t about a missing file. It’s about a coordinated refusal to let truth surface.

IV. Violations

UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, Sections 45–54 – failure to respond to SAR within lawful timeframes
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to provide reasonable adjustments for communication
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – right to personal data and family privacy undermined
Freedom of Information Act 2000, Section 16 – failure to offer guidance or support in response process

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a missed deadline. This was an act of deferral — carefully managed, widely copied, and institutionally protected.

We do not accept that data access depends on obedience.
We do not accept that disability accommodations are optional.
We do not accept that safeguarding professionals can disappear into silence when challenged.

An email thread documenting a parent’s attempt to postpone a safeguarding visit due to respiratory collapse, dental treatment, and ongoing exposure to sewer gas — met with indifference by Rachel Pullen and passive complicity by Laura Savage.

I. What Happened

The parent wrote:
– She was receiving treatment at Brompton for severe respiratory disability.
– Her children had dental and asthma care scheduled.
– They were recovering from environmental poisoning.

She asked to reschedule the visit.
Rachel Pullen replied:
– “We do not consider this harassment.”
– “We will attend anyway.”
– “The police report is noted.”
Laura Savage — the legal representative — forwarded this, but took no stand.

It was not a safeguarding plan.
It was a siege.

II. What the Email Establishes

That a parent gave medical notice to reschedule based on real clinical emergencies
That Westminster proceeded anyway, citing procedural supremacy over disability
That police reports about past harassment were dismissed without inquiry
That Laura Savage failed to advocate for postponement despite medical and legal justification
That no one present acted in the interest of the child’s health — or the mother’s

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when you say “I’m too sick to meet,”
and they reply “We’re showing up anyway,”
that’s not child protection — that’s coercion.
Because requesting time to breathe shouldn't result in a breach log.
And because when your own lawyer won’t defend your lungs,
you publish instead.

IV. Violations Identified

Procedural Disregard for Medical Treatment and Disability Adjustments
Retaliatory Dismissal of Police Report Against Social Worker
Complicity by Legal Representative (Laura Savage) in Allowing Procedural Pressure
Failure to Prioritise Child Health During Recovery from Medical Emergencies
Unlawful Intrusion Under False Safeguarding Pretext

V. SWANK’s Position

This was not scheduling.
It was stalking dressed as paperwork.
You don’t get to ignore clinical records just because your calendar is full.
You don’t get to push past a parent’s hospital days to prove a point.
And if you try —
she’ll just document it louder than you planned.

A leadership-level regulatory complaint against Sarah Newman, filed after safeguarding was used to punish lawful complaint, harm disabled children, and sabotage parental rights.

Formal complaint to Social Work England against Sarah Newman, Executive Director of Children’s Services, for systemic failure in oversight, leadership malpractice, and disability retaliation under the guise of child protection.

I. What Happened

This complaint — submitted by Polly Chromatic — holds Sarah Newman accountable not just for isolated errors, but for institutionalised harm. It outlines how her office:

Failed to enforce disability protections despite statutory warning
Permitted and escalated PLO proceedings based on disproven allegations
Ignored medical and environmental risk factors, including sewer gas exposure and asthma crises
Allowed staff to disregard written-only communication adjustments supported by clinical evidence
Oversaw an internal culture where retaliation for complaint is not the exception — but the workflow

The submission includes annexes such as a pre-action letter, N1 claim, psychiatric reports, and safeguarding chronology — making this not a grievance, but a structured evidentiary indictment.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural harassment under PLO was authorised or ignored at executive level
Disability rights were overridden without lawful justification
Children’s educational access and emotional stability were harmed by institutional aggression
Regulatory and judicial safeguards were systematically bypassed
Sarah Newman failed to intervene, correct, or acknowledge leadership liability

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the moment where accountability moves up the chain. The complaint makes clear: retaliation for lawful complaint is a leadership failure. It does not matter if Sarah Newman did not type the emails. She enabled the structure that punished the parent for speaking up.

SWANK filed this document to:

Escalate institutional malpractice beyond individual officers
Activate regulatory oversight where internal mechanisms have collapsed
Establish a formal precedent for holding executive directors to account for downstream abuse

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20 (adjustments), 27 (victimisation), 149 (public duty)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6, 8, and 14 (due process, family life, discrimination)
Children Act 1989 – Section 22 and Working Together 2018 noncompliance
Care Act 2014 – Section 42 (neglect of known risks and medical conditions)
Social Work England Standards – Failure in leadership, public trust, and ethical governance
UNCRC – Article 12 (child’s voice), Article 23 (disabled family support), Article 3 (best interests)

V. SWANK’s Position

Leadership does not excuse itself from responsibility by remaining silent. When a disabled family is harassed, misrepresented, and escalated into child protection frameworks for asserting legal rights, and the director says nothing — she is not neutral. She is complicit.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

Social Work England to initiate formal fitness-to-practise review of Sarah Newman
An external audit of Westminster’s safeguarding decisions between 2023–2025
Removal of Sarah Newman from any role involving child protection, oversight, or regulatory decision-making

That no safeguarding escalation occurred despite known risk
That this is not neglect — it is coordinated omission

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when a child says “I can’t breathe,”
and an institution says “we don’t believe you,”
someone else needs to start writing things down.
Because medical racism and disability erasure don’t always scream —
sometimes they just ignore.

IV. Violations Identified

Refusal of Emergency Medical Treatment
Disability Discrimination Against U.S. Citizen Children
Racial and Familial Targeting Within NHS Settings
Non-Response from Safeguarding Authorities Despite Crisis
Procedural Normalisation of Medical Neglect

V. SWANK’s Position

This was not a mistake. It was a method.
They’ve ignored every diagnosis. Every exemption. Every report.
And when Kingdom couldn’t breathe —
they didn’t panic.
They proceeded.
Now so do we.

The Safeguarding That Needed Safeguarding.

⟡ “They Called It Safeguarding. We Called It Retaliation.” ⟡

A supporting evidence bundle submitted in response to Local Safeguarding Children Partnership (LSCP) misconduct, documenting retaliatory actions against Polly Chromatic and her children.

This evidence bundle includes formal complaints, correspondence, and documented patterns of safeguarding abuse filed with or related to the LSCP.

I. What Happened

This file supports Polly Chromatic’s complaint that:

Safeguarding was used as a threat, not a protection
Contact attempts and procedural escalation occurred after disability declarations
No child protection risk was substantiated, yet repeated pressure was applied
Cross-institutional actors coordinated efforts to discredit, surveil, or intimidate the family
Medical exemptions were denied in direct contravention of legal standards

II. What the Bundle Establishes

Pattern of retaliation under the false pretext of child protection
Formal notification to LSCP of unlawful practices
Inclusion of medical correspondence, legal complaints, and council communications
Direct challenge to the legitimacy of LSCP-involved interventions

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because “supporting evidence” becomes historical proof the moment it's ignored.
Because LSCPs don’t just protect — sometimes they shield misconduct.
Because if the LSCP didn’t investigate this properly,
the archive now will.

IV. Violations

Misuse of statutory safeguarding powers
Failure to follow LSCP ethical oversight obligations
Disability-based discrimination and interference
Child rights violations under UK and international law
Collusion between social services and external partners to suppress lawful resistance

V. SWANK’s Position

This was never about child safety.
It was about professional safety — for those who harmed disabled children and wanted to cover it.

Now, thanks to this file, the LSCP’s silence is on the record too.

Safeguarding Wasn’t the Problem — It Was the Weapon

⟡ “This Isn’t Just About My Family — It’s About Every Family They Do This To” ⟡
A regulatory complaint to Ofsted exposing Westminster’s misuse of safeguarding frameworks to harass, retaliate, and erase.

📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-05_SWANK_Letter_Ofsted_Westminster_SafeguardingRetaliationComplaint.pdf
Formal complaint to Ofsted detailing systemic misuse of CPP/CIN/PLO processes by Westminster Children’s Services. Allegations include racial bias, disability discrimination, educational harm, and safeguarding as retaliation.

I. What Happened

On 5 March 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted this oversight complaint to Ofsted, naming Westminster City Council as an authority engaged in:

Safeguarding retaliation after a lawful police report
Fabrication of risk under Child Protection (CP) and PLO frameworks
Procedural escalation used to punish whistleblowing and disability
Ignoring medical evidence and triggering clinical emergencies
Creating isolation, educational loss, and emotional trauma — then using it as a justification for further action

It is not just a complaint. It is a regulatory indictment.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Westminster knowingly escalated safeguarding after being reported to police
The family experienced racialised surveillance, with cultural parenting norms pathologised
Disability accommodations (written-only contact) were ignored or punished
CPP/CIN/PLO structures were used in sequence to trap the family in continuous intervention
Medical crises were treated as parental failure, not evidence of institutional harm

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the document that names the pattern: when vulnerable families speak, Westminster punishes them. SWANK archived this complaint because it shows — in precise detail — how local authorities convert safeguarding into a tool of suppression.

SWANK filed this to:

Make the public record of safeguarding retaliation undeniable
Provide Ofsted with a full evidentiary map of institutional misconduct
Launch broader scrutiny of how safeguarding frameworks are manipulated by bad actors

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 19, 20, 27, 149 (racial profiling, disability discrimination, victimisation, public duty)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (due process), Article 14 (discrimination)
Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding frameworks, emotional harm
Care Act 2014 – Disregard of known medical needs
UNCRC – Article 2 (non-discrimination), Article 3 (best interests of the child), Article 12 (child voice)
Social Work England Standards – Abuse of power, falsification, and misuse of authority
Ofsted Inspection Framework – Failure to meet safeguarding and equality standards

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not an individual failure. This is a pattern of systemic cruelty, enabled by oversight silence. When safeguarding becomes the punishment for speaking, every parent becomes a potential target. And every child becomes collateral.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

An urgent Ofsted investigation into Westminster’s use of PLO/CPP/CIN between 2023–2025
Statutory reform to protect families from procedural retaliation
Public publication of this letter in Ofsted’s own records, and a formal reply

Chronological, evidence-based complaint filed to the PHSO naming Westminster Children’s Services for disability discrimination, safeguarding retaliation, racial bias, and professional misconduct — with full archival dossier.

I. What Happened

This 16-page complaint, submitted by Polly Chromatic, is addressed to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and backed by a meticulously documented archive. It charts a devastating timeline:

Feb 2024 – Request for medical protection and reasonable adjustments
March–August 2024 – Clinical harm, school failures, police involvement, ignored safeguarding warnings
Nov 2024–Jan 2025 – Social worker defamation, refusal to record asthma diagnosis, and medical trauma
Feb–April 2025 – After a formal complaint and a police report were submitted, Westminster retaliated with PLO

The letter outlines how racialised surveillance, disability neglect, and child-endangering escalation were used in response to complaint — not concern.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Westminster used safeguarding not as protection, but as institutional punishment
Reasonable adjustments were ignored — and then reframed as evidence of mental instability
Officers under active misconduct behaved with total impunity, citing procedure to avoid scrutiny
Medical negligence was never investigated — instead, the whistleblower was
Social work conduct contributed to reputational damage, educational harm, and emotional trauma

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is not a local complaint. It is a national-level submission that asserts systemic failure. SWANK archived this record because it represents the final threshold: once every internal process has failed, the only option left is documentation and exposure.

SWANK filed this complaint to:

Demand public accountability from an independent, parliamentary body
Prove that procedural retaliation is not just real — it's structured, repeatable, and state-endorsed
Provide a legal and factual foundation for institutional redress, both for this case and others like it

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 19, 20, 27 (disability discrimination, indirect discrimination, victimisation, failure to adjust)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (private and family life), Article 14 (non-discrimination)
Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding powers, emotional harm, failure to act in best interest
UNCRC – Article 12 (child’s voice), Article 23 (disability support), Article 3 (best interest principle)
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Act 1993 – Maladministration and injustice
Social Work England Standards – Breaches of ethical practice, truthfulness, and impartiality

V. SWANK’s Position

This letter is a warning to every institution watching: the era of quiet retaliation is over. When you use PLO to punish a medical accommodation, when you escalate safeguarding after a police report — you do not get to hide behind policy. You get named. And you get filed.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

Full Ombudsman investigation into Westminster’s misuse of safeguarding as disciplinary retaliation
Public recognition of procedural abuse under the Children Act and Equality Act
Immediate withdrawal of all PLO, CPP, and CIN actions against the family until review concludes

A formal warning issued by a medically exempt mother to Westminster officials, citing disability discrimination, safeguarding misconduct, and imminent police reporting.

I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services — led again by Kirsty Hornal — attempted to coerce verbal communication from a parent with a medically documented exemption.
The parent responded with clarity:

Continued pressure would be treated as a violation of disability law
A police report would follow
Further contact would be archived for evidentiary use
This is the email that made it official.

II. What the Email Establishes

That the parent had already communicated her medical needs
That Westminster ignored or downplayed those needs to escalate control
That she preemptively warned them of legal consequences, including police action
That institutional misconduct was called out — in writing — before it was public

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because not all boundaries are set in meetings. Some are delivered by email — with timestamps.
Because when institutions escalate based on silence they caused, they can’t later claim it was misunderstanding.
And because mothers who document everything never truly speak alone.

IV. Violations Identified

Disability Discrimination
Failure to Respect Medical Exemption
Coercive Communication Attempts
Abuse of Authority
Safeguarding Misuse as Procedural Leverage

V. SWANK’s Position

This isn’t a de-escalation. It’s a declaration.
The mother invoked her rights. The institution ignored them.
So she took it one step further — and warned them it would become public record.
This is that record.

Formal complaint against Westminster’s deliberate refusal to recognise documented medical conditions as part of PLO planning and safeguarding analysis.

I. What Happened

The mother provided formal diagnosis.
She cited multiple NHS specialists.
She submitted hospital records going back years.
Kirsty Hornal and her team not only disregarded the evidence — they implied it wasn’t real.
This document outlines the deliberate erasure of medical truth in favour of institutional narrative.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Westminster received and acknowledged long-standing medical records
That they proceeded to ignore those records in statutory assessments
That this decision violated the Equality Act and safeguarding best practices
That a parent’s entire disability profile was treated as administrative inconvenience

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because when the state demands medical documentation and then punishes you for supplying it, that’s not safeguarding — it’s bait-and-switch.
Because institutional disbelief does not overrule clinical fact.
And because dismissing disability isn’t just wrong — it’s unlawful.
You don’t get to pretend someone is “unengaged” when they’re actively gasping for air.

IV. Violations Identified

Disability Discrimination
Procedural Negligence in Statutory Intervention
Denial of Valid Medical Documentation
Misconduct in Professional Judgement
Willful Misrepresentation of Capacity

V. SWANK’s Position

This filing marks the line between misunderstanding and malpractice.
Westminster was not confused. It was calculated.
They saw the documentation and chose disbelief.
They read the hospital letters and pretended they hadn’t.
And now, they’re reading this — in public.

A formal complaint identifying serious ethical breaches by Kirsty Hornal in her handling of pre-proceedings engagement with a disabled U.S. citizen parent.

I. What Happened

Instead of acknowledging medical documentation, Westminster social worker Kirsty Hornal escalated.
Instead of respecting disability accommodations, she initiated a PLO.
Instead of ensuring lawful participation, she manipulated procedural language to penalise silence.
This complaint outlines the institutional steps taken not to protect children, but to punish a mother for being disabled — and vocal.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

That Kirsty Hornal acted in defiance of established ethical and legal standards
That disability accommodations were repeatedly dismissed or ignored
That PLO proceedings were triggered in bad faith, without evidentiary basis
That her behaviour constitutes an abuse of public office under the guise of child protection

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because "just following procedure" is not a defence when the procedure is selectively enforced.
Because ethical codes are not optional depending on the service user's tone.
Because when a mother provides documentation and gets retaliation, something is rotten — not just in the case, but in the entire department.

IV. Violations Identified

Professional Misconduct
Disability Discrimination
Abuse of Safeguarding Procedures
Failure to Uphold Equality Duty
Misrepresentation of Statutory Criteria

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not about personality conflict. It is about structural retaliation sanctioned by silence.
When ethical codes are broken this flagrantly, no outcome reached under their breach can be lawful.
Kirsty Hornal cannot claim ignorance. She can only claim impunity.
This filing ensures she no longer has that either.

Escalation as Punishment: When Disability Is Treated as Defiance

Formal pre-action notice challenging the unlawful escalation of PLO proceedings despite known disability status and lack of safeguarding threshold.

I. What Happened

On 25 April 2025, the claimant (Polly Chromatic) issued formal notice of intent to seek Judicial Review after Westminster Children’s Services escalated her family into Public Law Outline (PLO) proceedings without any lawful basis. Despite extensive written medical evidence — including a psychiatric report dated 26 November 2024 — confirming her need for written-only communication due to severe respiratory and psychiatric disabilities, the local authority categorised this clinical adjustment as “non-compliance.”

The letter outlines breaches of the Equality Act 2010, Human Rights Act 1998, and public law principles of fairness, and formally demands withdrawal from the PLO process.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Unlawful escalation to PLO despite absence of safeguarding threshold
Mischaracterisation of written engagement as defiance
Breach of medically prescribed communication adjustments
Discriminatory treatment of a disabled parent in legal proceedings
Institutional use of child protection frameworks to retaliate against rights-based advocacy

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This letter captures the moment when procedural misuse crosses into deliberate reprisal. Westminster not only ignored a decade of medical evidence — it actively escalated proceedings to punish a disabled mother for invoking her legal rights.

SWANK London Ltd. archived this document to:

Expose systemic abuse of the PLO process against whistleblowers
Document a textbook breach of Sections 20 and 149 of the Equality Act
Establish a public record of legal intimidation masquerading as child protection

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (reasonable adjustments), Section 149 (public sector equality duty)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (private and family life)
Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding framework
Common Law – Breach of legitimate expectation, procedural fairness, and proportionality
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities – Article 21 (access to communication)

V. SWANK’s Position

This case reflects the growing pattern of weaponising safeguarding against disabled and vocal parents. When Westminster social workers dismiss lawful communication boundaries as obstruction, and then escalate under PLO frameworks without lawful foundation, the result is not protection — it’s persecution.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for immediate regulatory scrutiny, including:

Audit of all PLO decisions involving known disabled parents
Disciplinary review of staff who labelled medical adjustments as “non-engagement”
Compensation and public acknowledgement of wrongdoing
