Formal notice to the Court that all internal remedies have failed and a PHSO complaint is now active.

I. What Happened

On 25 June 2025, Polly Chromatic filed an addendum to her active Judicial Review claim against Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The addendum notifies the Administrative Court that a formal complaint has now been submitted to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO), reference C-2161195. This complaint addresses the same misconduct forming the basis of the Judicial Review: disability discrimination, safeguarding abuse, and the unlawful removal and separation of four disabled U.S. citizen children.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Internal remedies have been exhausted and failed to yield lawful outcomes
PHSO complaint confirms active third-party oversight of systemic failure
Judicial intervention is now not only appropriate but imperative
Over a decade of coordinated misconduct is now under formal investigation
The family court granted an Interim Care Order on 24 June 2025 without notifying the Claimant

This is not a service failure. This is structural retaliation masquerading as child protection.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is no longer a question of domestic protocol.
Because Westminster and RBKC forced a mother to escalate her legal claim after removing her children.
Because escalation through proper channels was punished with removal and silencing.
Because the PHSO complaint, now running parallel to Judicial Review, confirms a public interest threshold has been crossed.
Because ignoring this pattern would be complicity — and SWANK does not do silence.

IV. Violations

Children Act 1989, Section 22C(7): Duty to avoid sibling separation
Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8: Right to family and private life
Equality Act 2010, Section 15: Discrimination arising from disability
Care Planning, Placement and Case Review (England) Regulations 2010
Public law procedural fairness duties
Administrative law duty to exhaust internal remedies prior to judicial review — already fulfilled

V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t child protection. It was jurisdictional sabotage.
This wasn’t a care order. It was a backlash against escalation.
This wasn’t due process. It was a calculated avoidance of it.

SWANK formally notifies the Court — and the public — that the PHSO is now involved.
This post serves as notice. This post is also a warning.
Because evidence deserves elegance.
And retaliation deserves an archive.

This is not a blog.
This is a legal-aesthetic instrument.
Filed with velvet contempt, preserved for future litigation.

“Just checking in” — How Institutional Messaging Co-opts Care to Silence Parents

⟡ Kirsty Hornal’s Grandparent Bypass Attempt ⟡

"Procedural breach in plain text messages. This was not informal. This was unlawful."

Filed as: Addendum to Judicial Review Claim – Unauthorised contact incident via grandmother and father

I. What Happened

While multiple complaints and court filings were live, Kirsty Hornal contacted the children's grandmother and father on 25 June 2025. She initiated informal conversations directly with them — in violation of previously asserted legal boundaries, disability accommodations, and consular involvement.

This occurred after public record evidence had already instructed all communication to go solely through the Claimant and the Court.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Active bypass attempt while legal protections were in force
Deliberate exclusion of disabled parent (Claimant)
Misuse of family relationships during live legal review
Breach of transparency and safeguarding process
Misconduct by a named professional under multiple complaints

III. Why SWANK Logged It

This was not a casual message. It was a live attempt to reassert institutional control by misrepresenting authority and undermining litigation. The coercive subtext (“daddy and nana are coming to get you sweets”) shows emotional manipulation disguised as concern.

This isn't family outreach — it’s narrative engineering under litigation.

IV. Violations

Disability discrimination
Family court access obstruction
Judicial Review interference
Social Work England Code of Conduct
Safeguarding procedural breach

V. SWANK’s Position

⟡ This wasn’t family support. It was legal erasure through text message.
⟡ This isn’t safeguarding. It’s retaliatory spectacle with the veneer of concern.
⟡ We see it. We log it. We won't let it disappear.

I Complied. You Retaliated. Let’s Correct the Record.

⟡ “My Health Is Not a Deferral Tactic. It’s a Statutory Right.” ⟡
A legally grounded letter correcting Westminster’s narrative: the issue is not non-engagement — the issue is their refusal to understand disability law.

📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-23_SWANK_Letter_Westminster_PLOResponseClarification.pdf
Formal written response from Polly Chromatic (Noelle Meline) to Kirsty Hornal, affirming legal compliance with PLO via written-only communication, supported by medical documentation and statutory protection.

I. What Happened

In this letter, dated 23 April 2025, the claimant formally responds to Westminster Children’s Services’ attempts to reframe her disability-mandated communication format as “non-cooperation.” The letter asserts that written replies — submitted with complete evidence bundles on 15 April — are not only lawful, but medically necessary under the Equality Act 2010.

Key points include:

Confirmation that the claimant has fully complied with the PLO process
Reiteration that all communication must be written-only due to clinically documented conditions
Legal justification for recording social worker visits
Clarification that ongoing threats of escalation are discriminatory and procedurally inappropriate

The letter also affirms the claimant’s willingness to continue engagement — provided it aligns with medical limitations, legal protections, and basic human decency.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Written communication is not a preference — it is a medically validated, legally protected adjustment
The parent has complied with all PLO requests through written submissions, including video, educational records, and legal declarations
Mischaracterising medical adjustments as defiance is a breach of both law and ethics
Threats to escalate proceedings in response to lawful communication amount to procedural harassment
The family’s wellbeing is being actively endangered by Westminster’s refusal to adapt

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is not just a letter — it is a strategic evidentiary shield. SWANK filed it to document how Westminster officials, faced with a clear legal adjustment, chose instead to diminish, distort, and deny. When the authority in charge of safeguarding refuses to safeguard the process itself, the danger does not come from the parent — it comes from the institution.

SWANK archived this letter to:

Establish written proof of full legal engagement
Highlight the coercive misuse of safeguarding frameworks when disability is present
Prepare grounds for regulatory complaints to Social Work England, EHRC, and the Ombudsman

IV. Violations

Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (reasonable adjustments), Section 15 (discrimination arising from disability)
Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair process), Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)
Social Work England Professional Standards – Ignoring communication boundaries, escalating unfairly
Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm via procedural mismanagement
Data Protection Act 2018 – Misrepresentation of lawful recording

V. SWANK’s Position

This letter stands as a model of procedural clarity, legal assertiveness, and trauma-informed resistance. Westminster Children’s Services is hereby placed on record: the law does not bend for bureaucratic convenience. A disabled parent invoking her rights is not evasive — she is simply not available for further abuse.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

A written acknowledgment from WCC that written communication is the official and lawful format
Ceasefire on threats of non-compliance
A public audit of internal decision-making tied to PLO and disability engagement

They Called It Support. Social Work England Called It Misconduct.

⟡ “Three Officers. Three Case Numbers. One Investigation Too Late.” ⟡
Social Work England opens formal misconduct complaints into the leadership of Westminster Children’s Services — confirming what the evidence already proved.

Filed: 28 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/SWE/TRIAGE-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-28_SWANK_Email_SWE_TriageConfirmation_HornalNewmanBrown_CON9964-9966.pdf
Official email from Social Work England confirming active misconduct cases against Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and Sam Brown — now under formal triage review.

I. What Happened

On 28 April 2025, Social Work England (SWE) issued this triage confirmation email to Polly Chromatic. The message affirms that not one — but three separate case files have been opened against senior Westminster officers:

CON-9964 – Kirsty Hornal
CON-9965 – Sarah Newman
CON-9966 – Sam Brown

Each case corresponds to a separate complaint filed for:

Procedural abuse
Disability discrimination
PLO retaliation
Emotional harm
Factual misrepresentation
Regulatory neglect

This isn’t internal conflict. This is regulatory collapse in motion — confirmed.

II. What the Document Establishes

SWE acknowledges that all three complaints meet the triage threshold for formal review
Each named officer is under individual scrutiny, not grouped dismissal
Westminster’s top-tier safeguarding staff are now subject to external regulation
The timing aligns with PLO misuse, Equality Act breaches, and SWANK’s evidentiary archive
The Council’s claim of “support” is now publicly incompatible with active misconduct cases

III. Why SWANK Filed It

This document is a turning point. For months, SWANK recorded what Westminster denied: that harm was done, boundaries were crossed, and laws were broken. Now, Social Work England has agreed — at least enough to launch three case reviews. This isn’t vindication. It’s verification.

SWANK archived this email to:

Establish formal regulatory recognition of institutional misconduct
Validate the scope and seriousness of the original complaints
Position this moment as the official beginning of accountability — no longer theoretical, but procedural

IV. Violations Under Review

Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination, victimisation, failure to adjust
Human Rights Act 1998 – Family life interference, fair process
Children Act 1989 – Emotional harm, misuse of safeguarding
Social Work England Professional Standards – Ethics, transparency, fairness, and accountability breaches
UK GDPR – Inaccurate or omitted data used to escalate statutory action

V. SWANK’s Position

The triage is just the beginning — but it proves everything that came before. When your complaints produce case numbers, your evidence becomes case law in waiting. Let no official ever again claim there was no merit, no harm, or no breach. This email proves: there were three.

SWANK London Ltd. calls for:

A full public update from SWE on the outcome of cases CON-9964 to CON-9966
Immediate suspension of the officers under investigation
Council-wide procedural reform in safeguarding escalation and PLO usage

Formal Subject Access Request to Social Work England demanding all records related to complaints against Kirsty Hornal

Filed: 8 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/SWE/SAR-HORNAL-COMPLAINT-RECORDS
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-08_SWANK_SARRequest_SWE_HornalComplaintsAndDeliberations.pdf
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.
