I. The Mark on the Child Was Temporary. The Institutional Harm Wasn’t.
This formal complaint was submitted to the Board of Governors at Drayton Park Primary School in May 2025. It concerns not just how the school responded to a minor bruise, but how that bruise was weaponised into a multi-agency safeguarding escalation against a disabled parent — with no lawful threshold and no procedural justification.
They said they were protecting the child.
What they were protecting was their paperwork.
II. What the Complaint Documents
That the school:
Reported a bruise with no contextual follow-up
Bypassed standard communication protocols
Ignored written-only adjustments in place for disability
That the referral:
Was medically and procedurally unjustified
Ignored previous trauma to the family from safeguarding weaponisation
Led to cascading retaliation through social services, even as the child remained safe, well, and articulate
That Drayton Park failed to:
Assess the context of the mark
Communicate neutrally with the parent
Prevent known systemic harm from being re-triggered by an unnecessary referral
This wasn’t a safeguarding response.
It was an escalation reflex dressed in institutional caution.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because a governor board is not a rubber stamp.
Because a parent’s disability is not a basis for suspicion.
Because bruises heal — but paper trails built on bias don’t disappear.
We filed this because:
The response was disproportionate
The process was opaque
The harm — psychological, procedural, and reputational — was real
And no one within the school stopped to ask: What does this referral cost a disabled family already under surveillance?
Let the record show:
The child was safe
The harm was institutional
The escalation was avoidable
And the complaint — is now public, precise, and archived
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not tolerate referrals made to protect liability rather than children.
We do not accept that marks on a body override respect for adjustments already on file.
We do not permit schools to act as handmaidens to systemic retaliation.
Let the record show:
The mark was used.
The parent was targeted.
The governors were informed.
And SWANK — filed it all.
This wasn’t vigilance.
It was institutional instinct to escalate — and let the family collapse under the consequence.
