I. When Procedure Becomes Weapon
On 31 May 2025, Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal—Senior Practitioner at the North West Social Work Team—sent an email declaring the Council's intention to apply for a Supervision Order concerning four children.
The problem?
No risk assessment.
No strategy meeting.
No multi-agency process.
No safeguarding trigger.
No legal basis.
Instead: a thinly veiled threat—issued days after Westminster received a formal Cease and Desist, a legal dispute over disability adjustments, and notification of active litigation.
This was not protection.
This was punishment.

IV. What They Tried to Call Safeguarding Was Simply Not That
Safeguarding must not be a retaliatory tool.
Procedures must not be emptied of law.
Disability adjustments are not optional.
As of 7 June 2025, this incident is no longer unrecorded.
