I. Safeguarding Wasn’t the Breach. His Endorsement Was.
This complaint to Social Work England names Glen Peache, a senior official whose conduct did not merely overlook abuse — it codified it into workflow.
The charges include:
Ratification of retaliatory safeguarding action against a disabled parent
Knowingly breaching a written-only adjustment in a supervisory capacity
Failing to intervene when caseworkers weaponised contact procedures
Allowing trauma documentation to be dismissed without consequence
The misconduct wasn’t rogue.
It was managerial — and approved by font.
II. When Supervision Becomes Strategy
Peache’s position granted him:
Oversight of known discriminatory patterns
Authority to de-escalate harm — which he declined
Access to protected health data and procedural violations
A professional obligation to intervene, not amplify
Instead:
He authorised the very breaches reported
Shielded staff behind “process”
Permitted silence as a form of defence
He supervised retaliation.
SWANK supervised the filing.
III. Why SWANK Filed It
Because supervision is not a loophole.
Because retaliation in the name of “procedure” is still abuse.
Because when misconduct becomes endorsed, every line manager becomes a named party.
Let the record show:
The adjustment was in writing
The safeguarding threat was tactical
The supervision was informed
And SWANK — filed, formatted, and timestamped the entire structure
This wasn’t inaction.
It was policy-grade harm, notarised at the managerial level.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not excuse oversight failures when they enable institutional abuse.
We do not accept that managers can feign ignorance of coordinated harm.
We do not redact names once the supervision becomes the strategy.
Let the record show:
He read the files.
He approved the breach.
He oversaw the harm.
And SWANK — filed the evidence to Social Work England.
This isn’t a rogue incident.
It’s the supervisory system as accomplice — and we filed the chain of command.
