“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

Chromatic v. Newman (Failure to Cease, Failure to Protect, Failure to Lead)



⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Catalogue

The Notice They Refused to Heed: Sarah Newman, Safeguarding Retaliation, and the Formal End of Good Faith

Filed Date: 22 May 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A13-SARAHNEWMAN-CEASE
Court File Name: 2025-05-22_SWANK_Addendum_CeaseAndDesist_SarahNewman_RetaliationNotice
1-line Summary: A formal legal notice demanding institutional disengagement due to disability discrimination and procedural abuse — ignored by Westminster.


I. What Happened

On 22 May 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a Final Legal Notice to Sarah Newman, Executive Director of Bi-Borough Children’s Services. This cease-and-desist letter was sent in direct response to repeated, unlawful safeguarding contact by Westminster and RBKC officials — all while Polly’s medical, legal, and procedural rights were already on record.

The letter:

  • Summarised active legal proceedings (N1, N16A, Judicial Review)

  • Cited filed police reports

  • Asserted enforceable medical adjustments under the Equality Act 2010

  • Demanded cessation of all verbal, encrypted, or in-person communication

  • Warned of personal liability, court escalation, and whistleblower release

Sarah Newman did not respond. Instead, her department escalated its aggression — leading to the forced removal of Polly's four children just one month later.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Sarah Newman was personally placed on legal notice

  • That medical exemptions and legal adjustments were clearly invoked

  • That the right to silence was lawfully exercised

  • That non-response constituted institutional negligence

  • That any further engagement from her department after this date was retaliatory, not protective


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because silence is never neutral.
Because refusal to disengage after formal notice isn’t oversight — it’s oppression.
Because this document proves that Westminster acted in full knowledge of its breaches, and that Sarah Newman’s leadership role was not passive, but participatory.

This notice was the line — drawn with legal citations, medical backing, and active court filings. Westminster crossed it anyway. That makes what followed not child protection, but jurisdictional misconduct.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Failure to honour communication adjustments

  • Human Rights Act 1998 (Article 8, Article 14) – Family interference without justification

  • Safeguarding Retaliation Doctrine – Use of child welfare systems to punish legal assertiveness

  • Common Law Harassment – Repeated, unwanted contact after formal refusal

  • UN CRPD, Articles 5 and 21 – Disregard for disability-related legal protections


V. SWANK’s Position

Sarah Newman, as Executive Director, had the legal, institutional, and ethical duty to acknowledge this cease-and-desist. She failed — and therefore became an active party to the harm that followed.

This notice is now logged permanently in the SWANK Evidentiary Catalogue, the civil claim, and the UN submissions. It will serve as Exhibit A in all future claims of institutional retaliation, leadership misconduct, and safeguarding misuse.

They were told.
They were warned.
They escalated anyway.
And now the record will not let them forget it.
