LETTER OF INFORMATION – EDWARD KENDALL
On the Institutional Distortion of Safeguarding Authority to Discredit Lawful Assertion
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
In the Matter of: Social Work Obstruction, Disability Disregard, and Retaliatory Child Endangerment
I. What Happened
Edward Kendall, Senior Practitioner for Westminster’s North West Social Work Team, repeatedly misused safeguarding communication channels to undermine and obstruct a medically vulnerable mother lawfully attempting to assert her family’s rights. His role in responding to complaints about third-party aggression (including police and gym staff) mutated into a campaign of procedural minimisation and coercive neglect. His emails include casual disregard for serious abuse reports, failure to investigate medical endangerment claims, and collusion in portraying the mother as unstable despite voluminous documentation and urgent health-related disclosures.
Kendall received detailed concerns about retaliatory conduct by NHS and council actors and ignored or mishandled each in a pattern best described as weaponised indifference. His emails reflect a sustained commitment to redirection, procedural ambiguity, and abuse of safeguarding vocabulary for institutional convenience.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
This LOI establishes the following key facts:
Kendall was repeatedly copied on urgent safeguarding emails and chose either silence or derailing replies.
He demonstrated selective follow-up and orchestrated a pattern of framing the mother’s lawful complaints as emotionally unstable, despite receiving direct medical documentation of her asthma, PTSD, and dysphonia.
He remained complicit in Westminster’s attempts to justify child removal not by evidence, but by cumulative character assassination — engineered through calculated bureaucratic delay, misrepresentation, and gaslighting.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Edward Kendall’s pattern of response must be recognised not merely as clerical negligence but as deliberate obstruction rooted in social work culture that punishes complainants. This is not a neutral oversight — it is a procedurally intentional deactivation of accountability processes. SWANK logs this LOI to establish the evidentiary context of Kendall’s involvement and to rebut any future claims that Westminster's actions were based on lawful, child-centered rationale.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989 – Duty to safeguard and promote welfare
Equality Act 2010 – Failure to accommodate disability-based communication needs
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – Interference with family life through retaliatory safeguarding
Public Sector Equality Duty – Neglect of protected characteristic obligations
Professional Misconduct (Social Work England standards) – Breach of integrity, responsiveness, and accuracy
V. SWANK’s Position
Edward Kendall’s conduct reflects a wider institutional pattern whereby social workers become the PR department for procedural abuse. His correspondence contains all the hallmarks of bureaucratic gaslighting: erratic timelines, refusal to act on evidence, and a chilling willingness to interpret every lawful boundary set by a parent as hostility. His participation in framing a mother’s medical, parental, and legal diligence as “erratic” cannot be excused — it must be documented, exposed, and referred for professional scrutiny.
