I. He Ignored the Risk Notification. We Filed to the Regulator.
This complaint to Social Work England (SWE) names Edward Kendall, a registered social worker whose actions — or rather, legally significant inactions — include:
Failing to acknowledge or respond to a written-only adjustment
Permitting retaliatory safeguarding procedures to proceed unchecked
Refusing to intervene in known breaches of disability rights
Contributing to a culture of procedural gaslighting via plausible omission
He didn’t raise the alarm.
He buried it in polite silence.
II. What He Saw. What He Didn’t Say.
Kendall had access to:
Formal written-only communication policies
Documented asthma collapse, trauma diagnoses, and risk flags
Retaliatory communications from colleagues
Evidence of safeguarding escalation with no statutory basis
Yet:
He said nothing
He stopped nothing
He endorsed everything — by doing nothing at all
In safeguarding, silence isn’t neutrality.
It’s endorsement, disguised as deference.
III. Why SWANK Filed It
Because ignoring a breach is not ethics — it is complicity.
Because silence is not support when violence is procedural.
Because when one’s job is to supervise risk and one instead supervises harm, we file the whole team.
Let the record show:
The disability was declared
The safeguarding was retaliatory
The silence was supervisory
And SWANK — filed it all, with citations
This is not about one oversight.
It is an institutional hush, now archived in PDF.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept that ethics exist merely in tone.
We do not accept that social workers can spectate harm without consequence.
We do not accept the logic of "I didn’t know" when the inbox says otherwise.
Let the record show:
The harm was documented.
The file was emailed.
The adjustment was ignored.
And SWANK — filed the supervisor alongside the breach.
This isn’t whistleblowing.
It’s evidentiary maintenance — and we keep everything.
