“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Complaint to Social Work England naming Kirsty Hornal for breaching professional standards and retaliating against a disabled parent through safeguarding escalation and factual distortion. Accuses Hornal of rewriting Regal’s educational history to justify state intrusion.


I. What Happened

In early 2024, Social Worker Kirsty Hornal — acting on behalf of Westminster Children’s Services — initiated statutory escalation under the Public Law Outline (PLO). Her justification? That the parent wasn’t cooperating, and that the child, Regal, wasn’t in education.

This complaint proves:

  • The parent had formally notified the local authority of lawful homeschooling

  • Regal was engaged in a legally compliant, medically protective, and trauma-informed educational structure

  • Hornal’s claim that “the child is not in education” was not an error — it was defamation, with consequences

Meanwhile, the parent had been repeatedly requesting written-only communication for medical reasons — a request ignored, mocked, and later recharacterised as non-compliance.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Kirsty Hornal misrepresented Regal’s education to manufacture statutory risk

  • That verbal-only engagement demands were medically contraindicated and legally unsupported

  • That retaliation followed regulatory complaint activity — not any real safeguarding concern

  • That the social worker’s actions inflicted measurable harm, emotional distress, and reputational injury

  • That multiple disability specialists (Dr. José, Dr. Rafiq) had confirmed the necessary adjustments


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because professional misconduct should not be protected by job title. Because defaming a child’s education in order to justify retaliation is not safeguarding — it’s narrative warfare.

SWANK archived this complaint to:

  • Begin the process of regulatory accountability under SWE

  • Refute Westminster’s claims at source — not just in court, but in code

  • Ensure the record reflects who harmed Regal — and who protected him


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 –
    • Section 20: Failure to adjust communication protocol
    • Section 27: Retaliation for protected activity
    • Section 149: Public duty breached through bias and narrative distortion

  • Social Work England Standards –
    • 3.1: Communicate openly and truthfully
    • 3.4: Respect diverse needs, including disability
    • 5.1: Manage records factually
    • 6.2 & 6.4: Respond to concerns without personal prejudice

  • Education Act 1996 – Misrepresentation of lawful elective home education

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)


V. SWANK’s Position

You cannot fabricate a child’s absence from education to justify violating his rights. You cannot ignore a parent’s disability and then call her “non-compliant.” And you cannot weaponise your own misinformation and pretend it’s concern.

What Kirsty Hornal did is not just a regulatory breach — it is a factual lie with legal intent. And now, it’s archived.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

  • Full Social Work England review of Kirsty Hornal’s professional record

  • Immediate correction of Regal’s educational status in all WCC records

  • Regulatory suspension pending resolution of this complaint

Governor Complaint Filed: Because Silence Is Not Resolution.

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.
