“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Chromatic v. The Lapsed Case – When Closure Letters Become Firewood



⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Catalogue

The Closure That Wasn’t: Assessment Lapsed, Threshold Unmet, and Still They Came

Filed Date: 9 November 2022
Reference Code: SWANK-A21-SOPHIE-CLOSURE-LAPSE
Court File Name: 2022-11-09_SWANK_Addendum_Islington_AssessmentClosure_NoFurtherAction
1-line Summary: Formal written confirmation from Islington Council that no safeguarding action was required — later ignored by Westminster escalation.


I. What Happened

On 9 November 2022Sophie Morgan, social worker for Islington Children’s Services, wrote to Polly Chromatic (using her legal name, Noelle Bonneannée) to confirm the following:

  • The assessment period had lapsed

  • No action was being taken

  • The decision was based on available information

  • A closure letter and summary of findings would be sent

  • Polly was invited to provide her new address

  • The matter was considered resolved, unless future referrals arose

This message came in direct reply to Polly’s brief notice that she was in the midst of moving house — and that the children would remain at their current schools. The tone was routine, bureaucratic, and seemingly benign.

And yet, within months, that closed file would become the pretext for renewed surveillance, escalation, and eventual removal by Westminster.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That Islington officially closed the case, determining no action was required

  • That Polly’s response was reasonable, timely, and reassuring

  • That there was no urgency, no concern, and no threshold met

  • That future safeguarding action would only occur upon new verified referral

  • That this closure contradicts any suggestion of parental disengagement, instability, or imminent risk


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the state cannot have it both ways:
They cannot close the file in writing and then use its contents as fuel for another authority’s later interference.
They cannot declare “no further action” and later punish the mother as if she had hidden or obstructed.
They cannot acknowledge lawful behaviour, then criminalise it in hindsight.

This letter confirms that the system had its answer.
It chose to change the question instead.


IV. Violations

  • Data Protection Act 2018 – Unlawful repurposing of closed case data without consent

  • Children Act 1989 – Procedural inconsistency and multi-agency contradiction

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disregard for lawful accommodation request in subsequent actions

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – Reinitiation of safeguarding without new evidence

  • Administrative Law – Lack of procedural fairness in case cross-referencing


V. SWANK’s Position

This is an institutional confession: no harm, no escalation, no risk.
It should have been the end of the matter.
Instead, it became a recycled foundation for a new injustice.

This email is Exhibit A in the case against retrospective narrative-building.
It proves that safeguarding was not responding to danger — it was constructing it.

The record is now sealed.
Let them try to say they never knew.
