Formal complaint filed to Social Work England citing retaliatory safeguarding and disability discrimination

I. What Happened

On 21 May 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to Social Work England against Westminster Council’s Kirsty Hornal. The complaint enumerated a series of professional violations including:

Escalating to PLO proceedings in retaliation for lawful litigation and data subject access
Refusing to honour a documented disability accommodation for written-only communication
Gaslighting the impact of PTSD and chronic illness by recasting silence as “non-engagement”
Including false medical information in formal safeguarding documents
Inflicting systemic emotional harm through procedural sabotage

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Abusing safeguarding escalation post-litigation; falsifying records; ignoring reasonable adjustments
Human impact: Distress, medical regression, and educational instability for disabled mother and children
Power dynamics: Weaponising child protection as institutional retaliation
Institutional failure: Permitting social workers to disregard medical documentation without oversight
Unacceptable conduct: Conflating disability with defiance, and litigation with risk

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this isn’t a one-off.
Because the minute a disabled parent asserts legal rights, a social worker in Westminster calls it neglect.
Because retaliation in child protection is the final sanctuary of bureaucrats who’ve run out of arguments.
Because silence, as strategy, was pathologised — then punished.
SWANK archived this not as drama, but as doctrine: the misapplication of safeguarding is a tool of civil control.
And what was once invisible now has a PDF.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Sections 17 & 47 – failure to promote welfare, misuse of threshold
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – refusal of reasonable adjustments, discriminatory practice
Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.1, 1.3, 5.1 – integrity, respect for dignity, and misuse of authority
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – interference with family life through retaliatory escalation

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t safeguarding. It was strategic retaliation cloaked in statutory language.

We do not accept that formal disability documentation can be ignored without consequence.
We do not accept that lawful action justifies intrusive scrutiny.
We do not accept that safeguarding means silencing.

We document this not to inform the system — but to outlive it.
Kirsty Hornal’s conduct is not just unfit for practice. It is a masterclass in how institutional authority cloaks discrimination in duty.

Don’t Record Us Breaking the Rules — That’s Harassment

⟡ “You Filmed Us Breaking the Rules — So Now We’re Threatening You for Filming” ⟡
When the safeguarding process is exposed, Westminster responds not with correction — but with coercion.

Filed: 23 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-11

Email from Deputy Service Manager Sam Brown threatening procedural consequences for lawful evidence-gathering, re-framing documentation as harassment and ignoring statutory communication adjustments.

I. What Happened

On 23 April 2025, Sam Brown — a new figurehead in Westminster’s safeguarding theatre — sent this email in response to ongoing written complaints and evidentiary submissions from Polly Chromatic. Rather than address any of the claims made, he chose to:

Recast written-only communication (a medical necessity) as disruptive
Assert that recording social workers is potentially illegal or intimidating
Imply that the parent’s efforts to document harassment could lead to consequences
Reiterate participation in the Public Law Outline (PLO) process as required — while still misrepresenting its legal basis
Impose arbitrary boundaries on when and how the parent may raise concerns

This letter is not a response. It is a warning dressed as a welcome.

II. What the Document Establishes

Westminster is aware they are being recorded — and they do not like it
The local authority treats written communication from disabled residents as hostile
Officials are now openly retaliating against legal and procedural accountability
The PLO process is being used as a disciplinary mechanism, not a protective one
The council’s own documentation is more incriminating than the evidence being submitted

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is the moment where politeness ends and procedure is used to silence, not to serve. SWANK archived this letter to demonstrate how Westminster has transitioned from concealment to active threat — now targeting lawful communication, video evidence, and disabled autonomy.

SWANK filed this to:

Show how the authority has reframed transparency as aggression
Highlight retaliatory use of safeguarding frameworks in response to complaint
Build a public record of institutional conduct designed to avoid scrutiny at all costs

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Sections 15, 20, 27 (disability discrimination, failure to adjust, victimisation)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 6 (fair process), Article 10 (freedom of expression)
Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm caused by procedural misconduct
UK GDPR – Inaccuracy and suppression of individual data rights
Social Work England Standards – Misuse of authority, intimidation, and refusal to engage in ethical communication

V. SWANK’s Position

When a council begins to punish you for documenting their behaviour, you are not being protected. You are being managed. When they refuse to respond unless it's on their terms — even in the face of trauma, medical evidence, and human rights law — you are no longer in a safeguarding process. You are in a cover-up.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

Immediate retraction of implied legal threats against lawful evidence-gathering
Public clarification of the legal status of recordings taken in safeguarding contexts
Regulatory investigation into Sam Brown’s communications and procedural conduct

When the Adjustment Is Medical and the Refusal Is Personal.

⟡ “Adjustment Requested. Retaliation Received.” ⟡

A complete evidentiary annex submitted in legal proceedings documenting Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust’s refusal to implement lawful disability adjustments for Polly Chromatic and her children.

Filed: 5 May 2025
Reference: SWANK/GSTT/ADA-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-05-05_SWANK_GSTT_DisabilityAdjustmentAnnex_FailureToAccommodate.pdf
Includes correspondence, legal declarations, policy references, and clinical context proving discriminatory denial of medical adjustments.

I. What Happened

Polly Chromatic formally requested reasonable adjustments from GSTT due to:

Severe eosinophilic asthma
Muscle dysphonia and verbal communication barriers
PTSD from prior medical trauma
Sole caregiving for four disabled U.S. citizen children

Despite repeated notices, the Trust refused to implement even basic accommodations — instead escalating institutional surveillance and retaliation.

II. What the Record Establishes

That GSTT was provided with medical records, legal rights citations, and clinical justification
That multiple written requests for adjustments were ignored or denied
That denial of care was tied to Polly Chromatic’s lawful resistance and complaint activity
That these failures led to further medical harm and increased safeguarding pressure

III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because the NHS is not exempt from the Equality Act.
Because disability rights aren’t suggestions —
they’re statutory obligations.

Because retaliation disguised as “clinical policy” is still retaliation.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010: Failure to make reasonable adjustments
Human Rights Act: Violation of right to healthcare and bodily autonomy
GMC Code of Practice breaches by participating clinicians
Retaliatory denial of care in response to complaints and documentation
Disability discrimination under UK and international law

V. SWANK’s Position

This annex was submitted to show the law was clear.
The request was legal. The need was medical. The refusal was ideological.

Now, the public has the file the NHS tried to ignore.

⟡ In re Chromatic: A Hearing the Mother Never Heard About ⟡

⟡ “They Called It a Care Order. This Is What Actually Happened.” ⟡
Filed because the judge didn’t ask. Logged because the system pretended it already knew.

Filed: 24 June 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-24_SWANK_ProceduralHistory_CareOrderChallenge.pdf
Timeline of judicial exclusion, disability discrimination, secret hearings, and the removal of four U.S. citizen children without lawful access.

I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, four children were taken without warning, explanation, or visible court order.
The mother, Polly Chromatic, was given no notice of any hearing.
She is nonverbal. No accommodations were made. No documents were shown. No contact was offered.

But instead of collapsing, she filed.
This is her procedural history — because the system refused to keep one.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Secret hearing authorising removal
Exclusion of disabled litigant known to be nonverbal
Denial of participation in violation of FPR, Equality Act, and Article 6
No transcript, no judgment, no service
Four American children removed during an active Judicial Review
Every remedy since initiated by the mother — not the court

This isn't a family court. It's a court against the family.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because they will pretend the timeline was “complex” or “confidential.”
Because they’ve already forgotten that the mother was never in the room.
Because the truth doesn’t belong in their minutes. It belongs in an archive.

SWANK logged it because they didn’t.
SWANK published it because they won’t.
And because if you remove children in silence — this is the sound of the record catching up.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 34 – denial of contact
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – family life
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to provide access
FPR Rules – procedural breaches of notice and participation
Judicial transparency principles – absence of transcript, judgment, disclosure

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept exclusion as procedure.
We do not accept that silence is protection.
We do not accept that a care order can be granted while the mother files alone, unheard, unseen.
We do not accept any court that allows the state to take children without even logging who filed what — or when.

So we logged it. In velvet. In archive. In print.

⟡ Chromatic v Westminster: Where Are the Children? ⟡

⟡ “One Day After They Took the Children, I Filed This. I’m Still Nonverbal. But the Document Isn’t.” ⟡
Contact was denied. So this was filed. Because no one should need permission to see their children after the state seizes them.

Filed in response to post-seizure silence. No contact. No updates. No reply. Just a disabled mother documenting retaliation in real time.

I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025 at 1:37 PM, police and Westminster Children’s Services removed four U.S. citizen children from their home without warning, documentation, or a care order shown. No contact has been allowed since.

By the next morning, Polly Chromatic filed this: a formal court application for emergency contact and possible reinstatement — because the state hasn’t even told her where her children are.

She still can’t speak.
So this speaks for her.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Contact was denied for four U.S. children without cause
No legal notice, no court order shown, no accommodations for disability
No destination disclosed, no contact facilitated
Proceedings occurred in secret, excluding the disabled parent
This application calls for emergency remedy, judicial review, and reinstatement — in law, not in silence

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a mother is still waiting to hear her child’s voice.
Because nonverbal does not mean absent.
Because “care” without contact is not protection — it’s procedural disappearance.
Because Polly filed this from the archive.
Because you cannot delete the voice that filed it.

This is how legal resistance is documented.
This is what emergency looks like — when you're already under surveillance, already excluded, and still file faster than the state can redact.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 34 – unlawful contact refusal
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – right to family life
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to accommodate
FPR Rules Part 18 & 12.3 – breach of urgent access protocols
Due process doctrine – no lawful cause, no written disclosure

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept a system that takes children on Monday and falls silent by Tuesday.
We do not accept procedural cowardice disguised as safeguarding.
We do not accept exclusion by design — not for Polly, not for anyone.
We do not accept that retaliation can hide behind court doors closed to disabled parents.
We do not accept contact refusal as status quo.

We accept only this:
They removed the children. She filed. They went silent. She published.
