“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.

Safeguarding Wasn’t the Problem — It Was the Weapon



⟡ “This Isn’t Just About My Family — It’s About Every Family They Do This To” ⟡
A regulatory complaint to Ofsted exposing Westminster’s misuse of safeguarding frameworks to harass, retaliate, and erase.

Formal complaint to Ofsted detailing systemic misuse of CPP/CIN/PLO processes by Westminster Children’s Services. Allegations include racial bias, disability discrimination, educational harm, and safeguarding as retaliation.


I. What Happened

On 5 March 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted this oversight complaint to Ofsted, naming Westminster City Council as an authority engaged in:

  • Safeguarding retaliation after a lawful police report

  • Fabrication of risk under Child Protection (CP) and PLO frameworks

  • Procedural escalation used to punish whistleblowing and disability

  • Ignoring medical evidence and triggering clinical emergencies

  • Creating isolation, educational loss, and emotional trauma — then using it as a justification for further action

It is not just a complaint. It is a regulatory indictment.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster knowingly escalated safeguarding after being reported to police

  • The family experienced racialised surveillance, with cultural parenting norms pathologised

  • Disability accommodations (written-only contact) were ignored or punished

  • CPP/CIN/PLO structures were used in sequence to trap the family in continuous intervention

  • Medical crises were treated as parental failure, not evidence of institutional harm


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the document that names the pattern: when vulnerable families speak, Westminster punishes them. SWANK archived this complaint because it shows — in precise detail — how local authorities convert safeguarding into a tool of suppression.

SWANK filed this to:

  • Make the public record of safeguarding retaliation undeniable

  • Provide Ofsted with a full evidentiary map of institutional misconduct

  • Launch broader scrutiny of how safeguarding frameworks are manipulated by bad actors


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 19, 20, 27, 149 (racial profiling, disability discrimination, victimisation, public duty)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (due process), Article 14 (discrimination)

  • Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding frameworks, emotional harm

  • Care Act 2014 – Disregard of known medical needs

  • UNCRC – Article 2 (non-discrimination), Article 3 (best interests of the child), Article 12 (child voice)

  • Social Work England Standards – Abuse of power, falsification, and misuse of authority

  • Ofsted Inspection Framework – Failure to meet safeguarding and equality standards


V. SWANK’s Position

This is not an individual failure. This is a pattern of systemic cruelty, enabled by oversight silence. When safeguarding becomes the punishment for speaking, every parent becomes a potential target. And every child becomes collateral.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

  • An urgent Ofsted investigation into Westminster’s use of PLO/CPP/CIN between 2023–2025

  • Statutory reform to protect families from procedural retaliation

  • Public publication of this letter in Ofsted’s own records, and a formal reply

The Whistleblower Was Disabled — So They Called Her a Risk



⟡ “I Reported the Harm. They Retaliated. Now the Ombudsman Has the Receipts.” ⟡
A formal complaint to the UK Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman documenting how safeguarding frameworks were weaponised to punish a disabled, racialised parent for speaking up.

Chronological, evidence-based complaint filed to the PHSO naming Westminster Children’s Services for disability discrimination, safeguarding retaliation, racial bias, and professional misconduct — with full archival dossier.


I. What Happened

This 16-page complaint, submitted by Polly Chromatic, is addressed to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and backed by a meticulously documented archive. It charts a devastating timeline:

  • Feb 2024 – Request for medical protection and reasonable adjustments

  • March–August 2024 – Clinical harm, school failures, police involvement, ignored safeguarding warnings

  • Nov 2024–Jan 2025 – Social worker defamation, refusal to record asthma diagnosis, and medical trauma

  • Feb–April 2025 – After a formal complaint and a police report were submitted, Westminster retaliated with PLO

The letter outlines how racialised surveillance, disability neglect, and child-endangering escalation were used in response to complaint — not concern.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster used safeguarding not as protection, but as institutional punishment

  • Reasonable adjustments were ignored — and then reframed as evidence of mental instability

  • Officers under active misconduct behaved with total impunity, citing procedure to avoid scrutiny

  • Medical negligence was never investigated — instead, the whistleblower was

  • Social work conduct contributed to reputational damage, educational harm, and emotional trauma


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is not a local complaint. It is a national-level submission that asserts systemic failure. SWANK archived this record because it represents the final threshold: once every internal process has failed, the only option left is documentation and exposure.

SWANK filed this complaint to:

  • Demand public accountability from an independent, parliamentary body

  • Prove that procedural retaliation is not just real — it's structured, repeatable, and state-endorsed

  • Provide a legal and factual foundation for institutional redress, both for this case and others like it


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 19, 20, 27 (disability discrimination, indirect discrimination, victimisation, failure to adjust)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair trial), Article 8 (private and family life), Article 14 (non-discrimination)

  • Children Act 1989 – Misuse of safeguarding powers, emotional harm, failure to act in best interest

  • UNCRC – Article 12 (child’s voice), Article 23 (disability support), Article 3 (best interest principle)

  • Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Act 1993 – Maladministration and injustice

  • Social Work England Standards – Breaches of ethical practice, truthfulness, and impartiality


V. SWANK’s Position

This letter is a warning to every institution watching: the era of quiet retaliation is over. When you use PLO to punish a medical accommodation, when you escalate safeguarding after a police report — you do not get to hide behind policy. You get named. And you get filed.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

  • Full Ombudsman investigation into Westminster’s misuse of safeguarding as disciplinary retaliation

  • Public recognition of procedural abuse under the Children Act and Equality Act

  • Immediate withdrawal of all PLO, CPP, and CIN actions against the family until review concludes

Low Oxygen, No Care, and a Referral to Social Services


⟡ SWANK Medical Misconduct Archive – Westminster & NHS ⟡
“They Thought I Was Delusional. I Was Poisoned. And Then They Called Social Services.”

Author: Polly Chromatic


I. When You’re Injured by the Environment — and Then by the System

This document is a formal, cross-agency overview of the sewer gas poisoning incident that led to:

  • Severe respiratory injury

  • Near-total physical impairment (inability to walk or speak)

  • Multiple hospital rejections despite emergency presentation

  • False attribution of medical symptoms to alcohol, trauma, or “delusion”

Instead of treatment, the response was:

  • Psychiatric mislabelling

  • Weaponised safeguarding referrals

  • Institutional ridicule

  • And eventual harassment by council-appointed social workers

This wasn’t a misunderstanding.
It was a medical crisis reclassified as inconvenience — and archived here with forensic clarity.


II. What the Overview Establishes

  • That St Mary’s, St Thomas’, and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals all failed to treat a known medical emergency

  • That the refusal to provide oxygen occurred while the parent’s blood saturation was dangerously low

  • That a documented environmental injury was met with racialised suspicion and safeguarding escalation

  • That disability symptoms were used to justify state surveillance rather than support

Let the record show:

The harm was chemical.
The reaction was bureaucratic.
The price was medical.
And the record — is now public.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when public services classify real illness as emotional performance,
—and then use that misclassification to justify intrusion,
—we call it what it is: medical retaliation through narrative control.

We filed this because:

  • This email links cause to consequence

  • It connects health crisis to safeguarding escalation

  • And it documents the clinical roots of administrative abuse

Let the record show:

The gas leak wasn’t treated.
The symptoms were documented.
The safeguarding was retaliatory.
And SWANK — connected the dots in one PDF.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that failure to treat entitles the state to surveil.
We do not accept safeguarding narratives born from clinical laziness.
We do not accept racial bias disguised as “concern.”

Let the record show:

She was injured.
She was ignored.
She was reported.
And now — she is archived.

This wasn’t delusion.
It was oxygen starvation.
And SWANK — saw the pulse oximeter before anyone else did.
