“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

No, You May Not Have My Hair — or My Friends.



⟡ They Asked for a Hair Sample and Her Entire Contact List. She Sent Them a Legal Refusal — and the Police Got a Copy. ⟡
This isn’t safeguarding. This is overreach in a child protection costume.

A formal email lawfully refusing Westminster’s demands for invasive bodily testing and personal contact disclosure — issued during PLO proceedings and copied to police, educational, and health professionals.


I. What Happened

Kirsty Hornal, under the guise of PLO protocol, attempted to demand:

  1. A hair strand drug test.

  2. The names and personal contact information of everyone in the children’s lives.

The mother — medically exempt, legally protected, and insulted by the absurdity — replied in writing.
She reminded them of boundaries.
She invoked the law.
She cc’d the police.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • That Westminster demanded highly invasive and irrelevant information

  • That the parent issued a written refusal grounded in legal and medical protections

  • That the refusal was shared with safeguarding professionals and law enforcement

  • That the council was engaging in escalating intimidation without procedural cause


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because no parent is legally obliged to provide a DNA sample to a social worker with a clipboard.
Because “disclosure” doesn’t mean handing over the social circle.
And because lawfully declining state overreach should not require three carbon copies and police backup — but here we are.


IV. Violations Identified

  • Abuse of Safeguarding Framework to Extract Personal Data

  • Coercive Demand for Medical Testing Without Legal Grounds

  • Procedural Intimidation Through Overreach

  • Disability Discrimination by Ignoring Medical Exemptions

  • Institutional Escalation Beyond Mandate


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a request. It was a threat in PowerPoint language.
But the mother didn’t flinch — she documented.
There is no legal right to sample her body.
There is no safeguarding clause that entitles you to her phonebook.
And there is no future where this kind of behaviour goes unarchived.

I Filed My Adjustment. They Filed a Referral.



⟡ SWANK Education Misconduct Index ⟡

“Home Education Wasn’t the Problem. My Refusal to Comply Was.”
Filed: 23 May 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-23_SWANK_Ofsted_Complaint_HomeEducation_Discrimination_SafeguardingMisuse.pdf


I. The Safeguarding Concern Wasn’t Educational. It Was Procedural Revenge.

This formal complaint, submitted to Ofsted, addresses the targeted misuse of safeguarding escalation by Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea against a disabled parent who dared to both:

  • Home educate lawfully

  • Refuse verbal meetings on medical grounds

They did not question the quality of education.

They punished the format of dissent.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The parent:

    • Is medically exempt from verbal communication

    • Lawfully home educates under Section 7 of the Education Act 1996

    • Filed multiple disability disclosures and evidence

  • The councils:

    • Attempted Child in Need coercion to override adjustments

    • Triggered safeguarding escalation when meetings were declined

    • Violated statutory guidance by ignoring suitable education criteria

  • The safeguarding process became:

    • Punitive, not protective

    • Based on administrative ego, not child welfare

    • systemic retaliation dressed in pastel email chains

This wasn’t safeguarding.

It was procedural punishment for lawful refusal.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because we’ve seen it before:

  • Parents who file back

  • Children who thrive outside their gaze

  • And institutions that cannot bear to be ignored

We filed this because:

  • Home education is not a safeguarding concern

  • Disability is not a behavioural problem

  • And lawful refusal is not neglect

Let the record show:

  • The education was suitable

  • The parent was protected

  • The councils were enraged

  • And now — Ofsted has been notified


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept coercion disguised as care.
We do not permit safeguarding referrals to function as disciplinary tools.
We do not excuse councils who punish lawful parents for choosing autonomy over allegiance.

Let the record show:

The home was lawful.
The education was valid.
The complaint is formal.
And the archive — has indexed the retaliation.

This wasn’t about the children.
It was about a mother who said no — and meant it.
