Subject Access Request demanding full disclosure of Social Work England’s records concerning complaints filed by Polly Chromatic against Kirsty Hornal

I. What Happened

On 8 April 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal Subject Access Request (SAR) to Social Work England (SWE)under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. The request demands:

All internal documents, assessments, and decisions relating to complaints filed against Kirsty Hornal
All emails or correspondence where Polly is named or referenced
Full access to decision-making rationale, risk assessments, and refusal criteria
Disclosure of the mechanisms used to determine why her complaints were not escalated

The SAR was submitted following SWE’s ongoing failure to investigate well-documented professional misconduct, and serves as a pre-litigation evidence sweep for both Judicial Review and regulator complaint escalation.

II. What the Request Establishes

Regulatory opacity: SWE failed to provide procedural clarity regarding why Hornal’s misconduct was never investigated
Documentation disparity: The archive is full — but SWE’s files have been withheld
Data rights: Legal entitlement to know how the regulator discussed, dismissed, or delayed critical safeguarding concerns
Institutional contradiction: Transparency is policy — except when the social worker is protected
Power inversion: This SAR flips the dynamic — from subject to sovereign

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when regulators pretend not to see, you force them to read.
Because SWE can’t claim “insufficient grounds” while refusing to show their own grounds.
Because if they had time to ignore a year’s worth of documentation, they now have 30 days to account for that silence — in writing.

This SAR is not just an inquiry. It’s a jurisdictional demand.
And the archive will not wait politely.

IV. Violations (If Not Fulfilled)

UK GDPR, Articles 12 & 15 – right to access personal data and obtain confirmation of processing
Data Protection Act 2018, Sections 45–54 – noncompliance with subject access obligations
Equality Act 2010, if refusal linked to disability status or complaint origin
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – right to informational privacy and family protection

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that Social Work England gets to say “no case to answer” without showing what was asked.
We do not accept that silence is transparency.
We do not accept that safeguarding retaliation can be documented, and still dismissed, without scrutiny.

This is a records request.
It is also a countdown.
Day one has begun.

Formal rebuttal to Westminster’s PLO letter, dismantling safeguarding claims point by point and exposing retaliatory motive

Response to PLO letter issued by Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, asserting disability rights and addressing each safeguarding claim with precision

I. What Happened

On 15 April 2025, Polly Chromatic issued a formal rebuttal to Westminster’s PLO pre-proceedings letter dated 14 April 2025. The original letter was signed by Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, despite:

No prior disclosure of a completed Child in Need outcome
Ongoing retaliation following police reports filed by Polly
Repeated, documented violations of her disability access rights

The PLO allegations — from educational concern to false claims of erratic behaviour — were systematically dismantled in this written reply, which also reaffirmed Polly’s legal position under the Equality Act 2010, Children Act 1989, and Human Rights Act 1998.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Escalation without closing documentation or transparent threshold rationale
Human impact: Severe deterioration in health from repeated verbal demands, trauma escalation, and harassment
Power dynamics: Safeguarding invoked not for safety — but in retaliation for lawful resistance
Institutional failure: Ignoring clear evidence and prior internal acknowledgements in order to justify surveillance
Unacceptable conduct: Recasting educational success and medical silence as risk indicators

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because every allegation in this PLO was addressed — with documents, video, and law.
Because the very same department that cited homeschooling as concern had praised it in writing.
Because sewer gas, asthma, and abuse history were not facts to be addressed — they were tools to be inverted.
Because the safeguarding logic wasn’t logic. It was leverage.

This post is not a rebuttal. It’s an archive of refusal — to be intimidated, pathologised, or erased.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 21, 27 – denial of communication accommodations; retaliatory safeguarding
Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to promote well-being; misapplication of escalation
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 & 8 – procedural unfairness; interference with family and private life
Social Work England Standards, 3.1, 5.1 – institutional harm; discriminatory process management

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that PLO letters can substitute for fact.
We do not accept that silence caused by medical need is “non-engagement.”
We do not accept that disability, once disclosed, can be used as pretext for escalation.

This wasn’t risk management.
It was reputation defense masquerading as child protection.
And now, it is timestamped — by the one who refused to play along.

Outline of legal challenge against RBKC and Westminster for unlawful safeguarding escalation, disability discrimination, and data protection breach

I. What Happened

On 23 April 2025, Polly Chromatic prepared a formal Judicial Review Pre-Action Letter Outline, instructing her solicitor to initiate proceedings against the Director of Children’s Services for RBKC and Westminster. The proposed claim challenges a PLO letter dated 14 April 2025, issued by Kirsty Hornal and approved by Sam Brown, despite:

No safeguarding concerns after a full year of investigation
No final report or explanation of any findings
A police report filed by the claimant weeks earlier regarding misconduct
Repeated disregard for disability accommodations

The escalation to PLO was framed as retaliatory, procedurally flawed, and incompatible with domestic and human rights law.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: PLO invoked without final assessment; data withheld; retaliatory timing
Human impact: Physical illness, psychiatric distress, deterioration in trust and stability
Power dynamics: Misuse of statutory authority to punish protected acts — especially police complaints
Institutional failure: Breakdown of communication, documentation, and proportionality
Unacceptable conduct: Conflation of compliance with submission; medical silence repackaged as risk

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a PLO without an outcome report is not legal process — it’s institutional gaslighting.
Because when you file a police report and receive a PLO letter weeks later, that’s not coincidence. It’s code red.
Because safeguarding is not supposed to function as reprisal.
And because this filing makes it clear: disability isn’t risk. It’s a right — and rights don’t expire when the council feels threatened.

This isn’t a PLO challenge. It’s a declaration of war on retaliatory bureaucracy.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 47 – escalation without lawful evidence or procedural integrity
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20, 21, 27, 149 – discrimination, failure to adjust, and retaliation for protected activity
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – interference with private and family life via unjustified statutory action
Data Protection Act 2018, Sections 45–54 – unlawful withholding of outcome documents
Common Law Public Law Principles – breach of legitimate expectation and proportionality

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that filing a police report is grounds for safeguarding escalation.
We do not accept that silence is neglect when the silence is medical.
We do not accept that the absence of findings can be used as justification for further scrutiny.

This was not lawful child protection.
It was revenge policy in a PLO envelope.
And SWANK will litigate it line by line, citation by citation, archive by archive.

⟡ Chromatic v Hornal: When Later Meant Liability ⟡

⟡ “I Said I’d Reply Later. That Was Too Much Power for Them to Handle.” ⟡
A simple, lawful boundary: email reply deferred due to disability needs — acknowledged, logged, and later weaponised

Brief email from Polly Chromatic asserting a written communication boundary — later used by WCC as alleged “non-engagement”

I. What Happened

On 22 November 2024, Polly Chromatic sent an email to social worker Kirsty Hornal stating that she would reply to messages later, due to needing to manage other priorities. The tone was clear, courteous, and declarative — a basic act of digital pacing consistent with her documented communication-related disability.

Kirsty Hornal replied with a nonchalant “No problems!”

And yet — this exact type of boundary-setting would later be framed by the same department as non-engagement, resistance, or concern for lack of cooperation.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Misuse of boundary-setting emails to later justify escalation or PLO
Human impact: Anxiety around harmless communication, increased disability strain
Power dynamics: State professionals holding silence or delay as evidence of guilt
Institutional failure: Misunderstanding or willful rejection of pacing as part of reasonable adjustment
Unacceptable conduct: Accepting disability terms in writing, then undermining them in process

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this was a perfect moment of clarity:
Polly said, “I will reply later.”
The social worker said, “No problems.”
And still — that space, that quiet, that breath — became dangerous.

Because institutions don’t need a refusal to punish you.
They only need a pause.

This wasn’t a conflict.
This was a documented deferral — retroactively recast as neglect.

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 27 – failure to accommodate communication pacing; victimisation for lawful delay
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – surveillance and judgement of private communication behaviour
Social Work England Standards, 3.1, 5.1 – disregard for health-informed adjustments; harm through administrative pressure
Children Act 1989, Section 17 – misuse of delay as safeguarding concern

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that “later” is a threat.
We do not accept that breath is defiance.
We do not accept that acknowledging a disability-based pacing need — only to punish it in policy — is anything but strategic malpractice.

This message said everything it needed to.
And now, SWANK has said the rest.

Email reporting ER neglect of a nonverbal asthmatic child — sent to Westminster officials and medical consultant

Real-time medical alert reporting hospital refusal to treat a breathless child — copied to Westminster Council, RBKC, and NHS staff

I. What Happened

On 22 November 2024, Polly Chromatic sent an urgent email to Dr. Philip Reid and senior Westminster and RBKC officials, documenting that her son Kingdom was refused treatment at an emergency room while actively experiencing respiratory distress.

Despite being visibly ill and barely able to speak, Kingdom was turned away—mirroring what had previously happened to Heir during a separate A&E crisis. Polly explained that she was monitoring oxygen levels at home, administering prednisone based on prior NHS advice, and attempting to secure a follow-up with Dr. Reid due to the ER's repeated failure to respond to asthmatic emergencies with appropriate care.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Procedural breaches: Hospital refusal to examine a child in respiratory crisis without valid reason
Human impact: Lingering respiratory symptoms, inability to speak, suffering left untreated
Power dynamics: ER staff treating a disabled mother’s visit as suspect rather than protective
Institutional failure: Westminster’s silence despite repeated alerts about ER neglect of vulnerable children
Unacceptable conduct: Treating paediatric asthma as parental exaggeration; forcing children to endure untreated episodes

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a child unable to speak should not be refused emergency care.
Because Polly didn’t just report it once — she copied every official with jurisdiction.
Because the ER staff’s refusal to help didn’t just harm Kingdom — it triggered another cycle of surveillance against his mother.
Because when systemic medical neglect meets bureaucratic disinterest, documentation becomes the only safeguard.

This wasn’t just an ER refusal. It was a mirror: showing us how quickly institutions abandon breath — and then punish the one who speaks.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 17 – failure to protect and support children in health crises
Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 27 – discrimination based on parent’s disability and history of protected communication
NHS Constitution, Right to Treatment – denial of urgent care without triage
Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3 & 8 – inhumane treatment and interference with family medical integrity

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that refusal to treat is the standard response to a breathless child.
We do not accept that oxygen levels excuse suffering.
We do not accept that medical neglect should be reframed as parental misconduct.

This wasn’t missed care.
It was withheld — by professionals more concerned with control than compassion.

And now, it is part of the record.
