“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

Formal escalation letter requesting full panel review of repeated misconduct and fitness to practise breaches


I. What Happened

On 21 May 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal escalation letter to Social Work England’s Fitness to Practise Panel. The submission identified a coordinated pattern of retaliatory safeguarding misuse and disability discrimination by four registered social workers:

  • Kirsty Hornal

  • Glen Peache

  • Edward Kendall

  • Rhiannon Hodgson

The complaint documents a post-litigation pattern of safeguarding escalation without evidence, the deliberate refusal of disability accommodations, and unethical distortion of medical records. The actions described had a direct and harmful impact on Polly’s disabled family.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Triggering CIN/PLO processes as retaliation for legal action; using statutory frameworks for reprisal

  • Human impact: Emotional distress, disrupted care, destabilised home education, and the erosion of trust

  • Power dynamics: Professionals operating in tandem to reinforce fabricated narratives

  • Institutional failure: No internal checks, no safeguarding of the safeguarding process

  • Unacceptable conduct: Allowing collusion between practitioners to punish a parent for protected activity


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because retaliation isn’t just personal — it’s structural.
Because a single abusive worker can be dismissed as an outlier — but four cannot.
Because it’s clear that disability adjustments were viewed not as access tools, but as strategic weaknesses to exploit.
Because what Polly Chromatic experienced wasn’t incidental error. It was premeditated sabotage in social work form.

This entry is an escalation — and a signal: institutional patterns must now answer to public documentation.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Sections 17 & 47 – misuse of risk thresholds and procedural timelines

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 26, and 27 – failure to accommodate; harassment; victimisation

  • Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.3, 3.1, 5.1 – honesty, person-centred practice, avoiding harm

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – unlawful interference with family life and access needs


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not one bad apple.
This was a barrel — curated, coordinated, and spoiling the profession from within.

SWANK does not accept that the Fitness to Practise process is a waiting room for abusers in uniform.
We do not accept retaliatory safeguarding disguised as risk protocol.
We do not accept silence from a regulator when the pattern is this visible.

This archive is not just a record. It is precedent — a public memory for every child punished for their parent’s resistance.

The Social Work Industry Receives Its First Formal Literature Review



⟡ “Should a Formal Oversight Role Open, I’ll Take It.” ⟡

A systemic critique of social work’s logic, language, and institutional behaviour — filed as a formal letter to all relevant agencies and their regulators.

Filed: 17 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/SWE/EMAIL-08
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-17_SWANK_CoverLetter_SocialWorkCritique_AccountabilityDemand.pdf
A research-based declaration of ethical collapse in UK social work, distributed to Westminster, RBKC, Social Work England, and NHS leads — with police cc'd. Proposed alternative models and full academic references included.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic submitted a 4-page letter to over 20 recipients, including senior safeguarding staff, local authority caseworkers, NHS consultants, Social Work England, and the police. The letter:

  • Introduced her published academic work critiquing human behaviour in institutional systems

  • Addressed sustained misconduct by named social workers

  • Included a full reference list for transparency

  • Proposed herself as a potential independent oversight lead for the sector

The email included attachments documenting medical need and proof of institutional denial.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • A record of academic and evidentiary authority in analysing social work structures

  • A direct challenge to Westminster’s denial of medical evidence

  • Official rejection of the PLO framework as presently administered

  • Notification to oversight bodies that standard safeguarding has failed

  • An offer of alternative ethical leadership, formalised in writing


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because it's rare to receive a public letter so lucid, so justified, and so professionally devastating.
Because critique rooted in both experience and scholarship is unignorable — even when it’s sent to people who refuse to reply.


IV. Violations

  • Misrepresentation of disability in official proceedings

  • Ongoing refusal to acknowledge verified medical harm

  • Systematic obstruction of evidence-based requests for accommodations

  • Breach of Equality Act 2010 (Sections 20–21)

  • Institutional defamation by omission of facts in social work files


V. SWANK’s Position

This isn’t just a complaint.
It’s a professional diagnostic of the social work system’s ethical collapse.
It doesn’t just name the problem.
It offers reform.
It cites the evidence.
And now — it’s public.

Racial Identity Isn’t Optional. Ignoring It Is a Violation.



⟡ “We’re Not White. We’re Not Ignoring That Anymore.” ⟡

A mother issues a formal multi-agency submission detailing racial erasure, linguistic suppression, and cultural exclusion within a PLO process meant to assess “family needs.”

Filed: 19 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/EMAIL-09
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-19_SWANK_Email_PLO_RacialDiscrimination_LanguageAccess_SocialWorkEngland.pdf
A formal email to Westminster and RBKC officials, copied to NHS, the Metropolitan Police, and Social Work England, documenting concerns around racism, misrepresentation of the children’s father, and systemic refusal to accommodate cultural or language needs.


I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic issued this email to over twelve institutional contacts after repeated efforts to schedule a PLO meeting devolved into racial mischaracterisation and disregard for the father’s linguistic and cultural identity.

The email included:

  • Concern over how her children’s non-white background was erased

  • Objection to forced English-only communication despite known barriers

  • Complaint about the refusal to provide cultural or linguistic accommodations

  • A formal cc to Social Work England and the Metropolitan Police


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Institutional refusal to acknowledge ethnic and linguistic needs

  • Systemic misrepresentation of the father’s role and origin

  • Hostile, mono-cultural framing of a cross-cultural household

  • Patterned sidelining of both parent and paternal identity

  • Multi-agency record of escalation, sent to medical and legal oversight bodies


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because saying “he’s not white, he’s not English, and you’re ignoring that” is not inappropriate — it’s the only honest thing left to say.
Because when a mother documents the erasure of her children’s identity, and no one replies —
that silence becomes part of the record.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010: racial discrimination and cultural exclusion

  • Human Rights Act: interference with private and family life

  • Language Access breach: failure to offer translation or accommodate

  • Ethical misconduct under Social Work England’s framework

  • Institutional gaslighting of lived ethnic identity


V. SWANK’s Position

Polly Chromatic was never asking for special treatment.
She was asking that her children’s origins not be deleted for bureaucratic convenience.
This letter proves the request was made —
and the silence was deliberate.

The Quiet Collapse of Duty: NHS Watches While the Parent Schedules the Rescue.



⟡ “Three Children. One Mother. No System.” ⟡

The hospital never called. So the mother emailed — again — to offer all available times.

Filed: 21 November 2024
Reference: SWANK/NHS/EMAIL-06
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2024-11-21_SWANK_Email_Reid_DisabledChildrenRespiratoryConcern_VisitCoordination.pdf
An exhausted but composed email to Dr Philip Reid reveals ongoing respiratory concerns in three of the author’s disabled U.S. citizen children, and institutional reliance on her willingness to self-schedule crisis care.


I. What Happened

On 21 November 2024, Polly Chromatic emailed Dr. Reid requesting an appointment for three of her children: Heir, Kingdom, and Prerogative — all showing signs of respiratory distress.

  • Heir had been in critical condition earlier

  • Kingdom was deteriorating

  • Prerogative, though improving, remained unwell

The tone was calm. The message was clear:

“I can come in whenever you want.”

The email ended with a reminder that she would take them to A&E if needed — a threat disguised as grace.
She copied Kirsty Hornal and Laura Savage for accountability.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Escalating respiratory symptoms in three vulnerable children

  • Lack of proactive scheduling by the consultant

  • Reliance on the mother’s flexibility and silence

  • Documentation of worsening conditions and clinical concern

  • Continued disregard for parental disability and family burden


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because one mother shouldn’t be scheduling her own child’s emergency care.
Because she shouldn’t have to follow up — again — when her children can’t breathe.
Because this isn’t parenting — it’s triage.


IV. Violations

  • Duty of care breach by NHS (Reid) through delay and non-response

  • Passive safeguarding neglect by WCC (Hornal)

  • Breach of disability recognition protocols (verbal exemption ignored)

  • Systemic failure to implement proactive health interventions

  • Undue burden on a disabled caregiver to manage three vulnerable patients alone


V. SWANK’s Position

There is no drama in this email.
Only danger.

It documents three children at risk —
and a mother offering to make herself available
at any time
on any day
to a system that refuses to call her back.

When Offered a Witness, Westminster Chose Violence



⟡ “You Could Have Asked the Caretaker — But You Chose Escalation Instead” ⟡
An invitation to verify wellbeing through ordinary means, declined in favour of statutory force.

Filed: 28 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-10
πŸ“Ž Download PDF – 2025-04-28_SWANK_Email_Westminster_PLOCaretakerVerificationRequest.pdf
Email from Polly Chromatic to Westminster Children’s Services suggesting that the building caretaker — Krystyna — could confirm family wellbeing. Ignored in favour of continued statutory hostility.


I. What Happened

On 28 April 2025, Polly Chromatic wrote to Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, offering a simple and obvious alternative to invasive PLO escalation: ask the building caretaker.

The message explained that:

  • The caretaker sees the family daily

  • She has observed nothing of concern

  • The social workers could verify this at any time

  • Written communication and respectful boundaries were being maintained

  • No hostility or secrecy existed — only lawful medical boundaries

It was a calm, cooperative offer. It was met with silence.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Westminster had peaceful, low-impact, third-party options to verify wellbeing

  • The parent proactively offered access to local non-family witnesses

  • Escalation via PLO was not necessity — it was choice

  • The “safeguarding risk” narrative is undermined by parent-led transparency

  • The refusal to accept this offer demonstrates procedural bias, not protection


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This email reveals a profound truth: Westminster never wanted verification — they wanted submission. When a parent invites outside confirmation and the authority declines, the goal is no longer child protection. It’s coercion.

SWANK archived this document to:

  • Prove that alternative verification routes were offered and refused

  • Undermine Westminster’s claim that formal intervention was necessary

  • Preserve written evidence of institutional inflexibility and bad faith


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Failure to exercise least intrusive measures

  • Equality Act 2010 – Escalation in retaliation for disability-related adjustments

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)

  • Social Work England Standards – Failure to explore non-statutory options

  • Working Together 2018 – Ignoring available local sources of safeguarding support


V. SWANK’s Position

You don’t escalate to PLO when a neighbour is available. You don’t invoke safeguarding while ignoring the very people who can confirm the children are thriving. You only do that when your real goal is institutional dominance — not child protection.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

  • A full review of why third-party verification was dismissed in this case

  • A written apology for misrepresenting the family as uncooperative

  • A procedural mandate that external non-statutory verification must be considered before formal escalation
