“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

Complaint addressed to both boroughs outlining institutional retaliation, disability neglect, and safeguarding weaponisation

I. What Happened

On 15 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a joint complaint to Westminster and RBKC Children’s Services. The email, copied to Dr. Philip Reid and social worker Kirsty Hornal, attached a comprehensive record of medical, legal, and evidentiary failures by multiple professionals. The complaint identified a pattern of retaliation following:

  • Protected legal activity

  • Disability-related communication requests

  • Efforts to assert child rights and prevent medical harm

The documents submitted included NHS correspondence, PLO challenges, and social worker reports — laying bare the pattern of coordinated refusal to accommodate, respond, or de-escalate.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Ignoring written-only communication needs; retaliating against legal action; failure to apply child welfare principles

  • Human impact: Medical regression, psychological harm, loss of educational access, fear of home invasion

  • Power dynamics: Social work roles repurposed as surveillance and compliance enforcement

  • Institutional failure: Total collapse of accountability, checks, or even basic communication standards

  • Unacceptable conduct: Targeting a disabled mother and her children under the pretext of care

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because complaints should not be met with escalation.
Because safeguarding cannot be invoked against the very families it fails to safeguard.
Because retaliation is not an “internal matter” — it’s a jurisdictional breach.
Because Polly Chromatic made this clear: the pattern is no longer anecdotal — it’s administrative culture.

This entry was not written in anger. It was written in architectural grief.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 26, 27 – failure to adjust, harassment by refusal, victimisation by escalation

  • Children Act 1989, Sections 17 & 47 – misuse of risk frameworks; neglect of actual welfare needs

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – obstruction of due process; invasion of family privacy

  • Professional Conduct Codes – neglect of duties under SWE and local authority guidance

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t failure. It was structure.
We do not accept social work as a tool of punishment.
We do not accept medical vulnerability as an invitation for institutional punishment.
We do not accept safeguarding that treats parents as threats and records as weapons.

SWANK archives this complaint as a civil record of modern municipal abuse — documented with clarity, filed with jurisdictional precision.

⟡ Chromatic v Hornal & Brown: When Procedure Became Punishment ⟡


⟡ “We Raised a Concern. They Called It Non-Cooperation.” ⟡
Formal complaint to Social Work England citing disability discrimination, cultural erasure, and retaliatory safeguarding misuse

Filed: 19 April 2025

Formal submission to SWE naming social workers for procedural breaches, racial insensitivity, and disability discrimination under PLO

I. What Happened

On 19 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to Social Work England against Westminster Children’s Services, naming Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown for repeated failures in ethical conduct, professional standards, and legal obligations. The complaint outlines four core issues:

  • Non-disclosure of key assessment documents being used to justify PLO proceedings

  • Refusal to accommodate a written-only communication adjustment for medical reasons

  • Racial and cultural disregard, including the exclusion of the children’s Haitian father

  • The use of safeguarding escalation as retaliation for asserting legal rights

This submission followed months of ignored access needs, withheld reports, and surveillance-style safeguarding under the guise of concern.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Failure to disclose evidence under PLO; sidelining a co-parent; ignoring written-only accommodations

  • Human impact: Repeated trauma exposure, medical destabilisation, and cultural erasure

  • Power dynamics: Disguising retaliation as policy; framing advocacy as aggression

  • Institutional failure: Systemic disregard for mixed-heritage families and disability rights

  • Unacceptable conduct: Threatening escalation when parents assert lawful concerns

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this complaint named it plainly: “If I speak up, they escalate.”
Because when racial bias, disability erasure, and threat-as-response converge — that’s not poor practice. That’s coercive administration.
Because safeguarding is not supposed to mean: comply, or we call court.
And because the refusal to provide the assessment in question speaks louder than the assessment ever could.

This archive entry is not a grievance — it’s a record of pattern. The conduct wasn’t accidental. It was embedded.

IV. Violations

  • Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.1, 1.3, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1 – dignity, access, honesty, cultural responsiveness, avoiding harm

  • Children Act 1989, Sections 17 & 47 – misuse of escalation powers; failure to promote welfare

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 26, & 27 – failure to accommodate, racial insensitivity, retaliatory behaviour

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – procedural fairness, right to family life

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that refusing to accommodate a disability is minor.
We do not accept that failing to include a non-English-speaking father is oversight.
We do not accept that safeguarding powers can be wielded like threats.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
This was escalation-as-discipline.
This was white governance over a mixed-heritage household.
And now, it is documented.

⟡ Chromatic v PLO: When Escalation Was the Only Argument Left ⟡


⟡ “If You’re Going to Escalate, At Least Explain Why.” ⟡
Email to Hornal and senior officials demanding justification for PLO referral amid medical crisis and lawful action

Filed: 21 April 2025

Email raising formal objections to unexplained PLO escalation by Kirsty Hornal, questioning procedural lawfulness and intent

I. What Happened

On 21 April 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a detailed challenge email to Westminster’s Kirsty Hornal, copying senior staff across Westminster, RBKC, NHS, and the Metropolitan Police. The email demanded an account of why PLO proceedings had been initiated following:

  • Her submission of legal claims and subject access requests

  • Ongoing medical crisis and disability documentation

  • Repeated requests for written-only communication

The escalation to PLO was made without new evidence, and in direct contradiction of prior agreements, medical facts, and safeguarding logic.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: PLO proceedings initiated without documented harm or updated justification

  • Human impact: Institutional pressure on a disabled parent during illness and litigation; retraumatisation of children

  • Power dynamics: Use of statutory escalation as a method of silencing and destabilising legal redress

  • Institutional failure: No evidence-based framework; no transparency; no lawful threshold applied

  • Unacceptable conduct: Treating a mother’s legal action as grounds for intervention escalation

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because there was no safeguarding risk — only safeguarding retaliation.
Because when officials are copied into an email asking “Why was this done?” and none of them respond, it’s a statement in itself.
Because this email showed the courage to name it directly: the PLO escalation was a political act, not a child protection one.

SWANK documented this as a moment of clarity: when a mother asked the question the system hoped she was too sick to ask.

IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Section 47 – misuse of statutory thresholds for personal or retaliatory motive

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 27 – refusal of reasonable adjustments; victimisation after protected acts

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – denial of due process; unlawful interference with family life

  • Social Work England Professional Standards, 1.3, 3.1, 5.1 – discriminatory practice and abuse of professional position

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that legal action invites scrutiny.
We do not accept that procedural escalation can occur in the absence of risk.
We do not accept that disability and self-advocacy are grounds for suspicion.

This PLO was not an oversight. It was a response — to litigation, to resistance, to truth.

And now it is part of the archive.

⟡ Chromatic v Hornal: Access Denied at the Threshold of Escalation ⟡


⟡ “I Proposed an Alternative. They Preferred Escalation.” ⟡
Formal request to modify PLO process in light of disability — ignored without cause

Email proposing written PLO accommodations due to disability; sent to Hornal, Newman, and NHS consultant

I. What Happened

On 16 April 2025, Polly Chromatic sent an email to social worker Kirsty Hornal (copied to NHS consultant Dr. Philip Reid and Director Sarah Newman), formally requesting a written alternative to an upcoming PLO meeting due to her documented disabilities.

The message requested a legally compliant, access-adjusted alternative format in accordance with NHS-confirmed communication accommodations. No lawful reason was ever provided for the refusal to implement the requested adjustment. Instead, escalation proceeded — in person, unmodified, and in direct contradiction of medical advice.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Refusal to implement medical accommodations in a safeguarding context

  • Human impact: Exacerbation of respiratory and psychological disability symptoms; increased trauma

  • Power dynamics: Using forced verbal meetings as leverage against written-only communication requests

  • Institutional failure: Failure to coordinate between NHS and local authority professionals on access needs

  • Unacceptable conduct: Treating medically supported disability adjustments as optional

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because no disabled parent should have to beg for an email option during legal proceedings.
Because when a medical consultant is copied in and the local authority still ignores the accommodation, that’s not miscommunication — it’s targeted rejection.
Because the refusal to alter the PLO process was not about safety. It was about control.

This archive entry confirms what Westminster social work continues to demonstrate: access is denied not due to limitation — but because accommodation threatens authority.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to provide reasonable adjustments and accessible services

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – violation of family and personal dignity under state scrutiny

  • Social Work England Standards, 1.1, 1.3, 3.1, 5.1 – dignity, transparency, anti-discrimination

  • NHS Care Act Coordination Obligations – lack of integrated planning between health and social care services

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that safeguarding meetings are exempt from the law.
We do not accept that disability documentation is discretionary.
We do not accept that escalation is the only response to medical clarity.

SWANK considers this one of the clearest illustrations of state refusal to accommodate — even when the NHS is watching.
This wasn’t failure. This was refusal.
And now, it is archived.

⟡ Chromatic v Ryu-Kai Referral: When Participation Became Suspicion ⟡


⟡ “A Karate Referral is Not a Safeguarding Concern.” ⟡
Formal police report notification after malicious referral targeting a disabled mother and her children

Filed: 18 April 2025

Email to martial arts studio and professionals confirming police report filed for malicious safeguarding referral

I. What Happened

On 18 April 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a formal notification email to the Ryu-Kai martial arts team and multiple professionals from Westminster, RBKC, NHS, and the Metropolitan Police. The message confirmed that she had filed a police report following what she identified as a malicious safeguarding referral tied to disability discrimination.

The referral reportedly originated after one of Polly’s children attended martial arts classes — and the resulting escalation was deemed by her to be both medically unfounded and procedurally retaliatory.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Triggering child protection involvement based on a lawful extracurricular activity

  • Human impact: Trauma to the child targeted, reputational harm, and reinforcement of surveillance culture

  • Power dynamics: Abuse of safeguarding authority to scrutinise disabled families for accessing community resources

  • Institutional failure: No accountability for why a child doing karate became a multi-agency concern

  • Unacceptable conduct: Treating a police report as provocation rather than protection

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what happens when disabled families try to live normally.
Because Ryu-Kai was never the problem — but they were copied in like it was.
Because the system’s default is not care. It is control.
Because it is now on record that a martial arts class became the pretext for multi-agency intrusion.

SWANK archived this as an emblem of how easily the ordinary is weaponised — especially when the parent is disabled, vocal, and unwilling to be intimidated.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 15 & 27 – discrimination arising from disability; victimisation after protected action

  • Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to promote the welfare of children through overreach

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – interference with private life and access to community participation

  • Professional standards (Social Work England) – breach of ethical neutrality and unjustified referral conduct

V. SWANK’s Position

Martial arts is not neglect.
Legal police reports are not “non-engagement.”
Being disabled is not cause for escalation.

SWANK does not accept weaponised referrals for public activities.
We do not accept retaliatory scrutiny masked as concern.
We do not accept a safeguarding system that cannot distinguish between threat and therapy.

This referral was a warning shot — and now, it’s a watermark.
