“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.

In the Matter of a School That Knew — and Chose Not to Remember



🪞The Disclosure That Was Ignored

In the Matter of Drayton Park and the Selective Blindness of Institutions


⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Archive

Filed Date: 15 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK-A14-DRAYTONPARKDISCLOSURE
Court File Name: 2025-07-15_Addendum_DraytonPark_EvidenceOfDisclosure.pdf
Summary: A formal addendum documenting that clear written disclosures were made to Drayton Park Primary School regarding lawful home education and health-related barriers — disclosures later erased or denied in social work and safeguarding records.


I. What Happened

On multiple occasions in 2022 and 2023, Polly Chromatic informed Drayton Park Primary School of the following:

  • That her children were being lawfully educated at home;

  • That environmental health hazards (including sewer gas leaks) were affecting the family’s health;

  • That she would not cooperate with agencies that had previously harmed her children.

These were not subtle suggestions. They were written, timestamped, and grounded in legal and medical fact. The school acknowledged receipt. No truancy proceedings followed. No referrals to the local authority for education failure occurred at the time.

And yet — months later — these communications vanished from the narrative.
In records shared by Westminster Children’s Services, Polly’s lawful disclosures were recast as evasionnon-cooperation, or even concealment.
The absence of school attendance was framed as neglect. The refusal to engage with known harmful actors was framed as obstruction. And the disclosures — which had already been made — were strategically “forgotten.”

This addendum serves as a rebuttal to fiction.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  1. Drayton Park was explicitly informed of lawful home education, and that information was received and acknowledged.

  2. Health-related barriers were clearly disclosed — including serious environmental risks — and documented in writing.

  3. There is no lawful or factual basis for later claiming that Polly was non-communicative, evasive, or negligent.

  4. The local authority’s version of events is factually untrue and administratively deceptive.

  5. The school’s inaction followed by passive complicity enabled this false narrative to harden into institutional record.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because rewriting history is not safeguarding — it is manipulation.
Because a mother who discloses trauma, illness, and legal preference is not failing — she is fulfilling her duties.
Because a school’s failure to honour its own knowledge is not ignorance — it is cowardice.
Because false safeguarding narratives often begin with selective memory — and end with systemic cruelty.


IV. Violations

  • Education Act 1996, s.7 – Duty met through home education

  • Children Act 1989, s.47 – Duty to investigate based on fact, not erasure

  • Data Protection Act 2018 / UK GDPR – Failure to record accurate parental correspondence

  • Equality Act 2010 – Discrimination based on disability-related non-engagement

  • ECHR, Article 8 – Respect for family life and lawful education decisions


V. SWANK’s Position

We reject the use of selective record-keeping to fabricate institutional narratives.
We reject the rebranding of home education as risk simply because it was outside the state’s preferred mode.
We reject the notion that schools and local authorities may collude in forgetting.

This was not neglect. This was disclosure.
This was not absence. This was autonomy.
And this was not missed — it was deliberately erased.

We preserve it here.

I. They Called It a Check-In. It Was an Interrogation.

On an otherwise unremarkable school day in November 2022, staff at Drayton Park Primary subjected a disabled child to a closed-door safeguarding interview without parental knowledge or cause.

The trigger?

“Something he said.”

The outcome?

An anxious child, an unlawful referral, and a letter of unimpressed correction.

This wasn’t safeguarding.

It was suspicion — masquerading as support and delivered without consent.


II. What the Letter Documents

  • school-initiated interview with a child already known to be vulnerable

  • The child distressed and stammering, described in staff notes — yet interrogated further

  • The school failing to:

    • Notify the parent before or after

    • Review contextual medical background

    • Protect against emotional aggravation of disability

  • A fabricated or distorted safeguarding referral issued without procedural basis

No safeguarding threshold was met.

And yet, the referral was made.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what schools now do:

  • Equate neurodivergence with risk

  • Use child-led statements to fabricate adult-led crises

  • Assume a parental absence of knowledge — and institutional supremacy in interpretation

We filed this letter because:

  • The child did not need protection

  • He needed to be believed

  • And his mother was not absent — she was already filing

This isn’t about one staff member.
It is about the institutional comfort with asking questions they aren’t qualified to interpret.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept covert interviews of disabled children.
We do not accept safeguarding language weaponised for convenience.
We do not accept referral theatre.

Let the record show:

The child was stammering.
The staff continued.
The mother responded.
And now — the record is public.

This wasn’t protection.
It was interrogation without jurisdiction.
And SWANK does not redact the names of those who breached it.

The Interview Was the Violation



⟡ Who Let Ben in the Room? Drayton Park’s Safeguarding Theatre ⟡

I. The Interview Was the Violation

This letter, issued formally to Drayton Park Primary School, records the parent’s legal and procedural objection to the unsanctioned interviewing of minor children by:

  • An unknown male staff member,

  • Operating without prior disclosure,

  • In the context of a fabricated safeguarding concern,

  • Under false pretences of educational support.

The child was startled.
The parent was excluded.
The trust was obliterated.
The “safeguarding” was theatre — performed without script or consent.


II. What They Did. What They Should Never Have Tried.

  • No notification before the interview

  • No documentation of parental consent

  • No disability adjustments respected

  • No adherence to trauma-informed safeguarding practice

This was not a meeting.
It was an extraction — performed with institutional stagecraft and pastel deception.


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because safeguarding is not a loophole for intrusion.
Because unfamiliar men do not belong in closed rooms with startled children.
Because institutional performance cannot override documented parental refusal.

Let the record show:

  • The boundary was crossed

  • The procedure was unregulated

  • The staff were unaccountable

  • And SWANK — filed the rupture with timestamped contempt

This is not educational support.
It is evidentiary malpractice in a classroom costume.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept retroactive justification for inappropriate contact.
We do not permit fabricated concerns to create legal access to children.
We do not redact the names of schools that used safeguarding to sidestep consent.

Let the record show:

The children were startled.
The mother was silent — by medical necessity.
The system interpreted that as permission.
And SWANK — interpreted it as misconduct.

This isn’t safeguarding.
It’s unauthorised access via institutional ruse.
