⟡ The Regulator Receives a Safeguarding Emergency and Responds with a Web Link ⟡

Or, When the Complaint Was Real and the Reply Was an Autoresponder

2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Automatic_Response_Social_Work_England_Enquiries.pdf


I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted an urgent written communication to Social Work England, documenting:

  • Allegations of racialised misconductprocedural abuse, and safeguarding misuse

  • Ongoing harm caused by social workers Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown

  • Active civil and judicial review claims in which they are named

  • A decade of discriminatory state interference

At 9:00 PM, Social Work England replied with this:

“Thank you for emailing Social Work England, the specialist regulator for the social work profession… We are experiencing higher volumes of enquiries and applications at this time…”

No case number.
No triage.
No human name.
Just an instruction not to follow up — because it might delay the non-reply.


II. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a regulator receives a complaint about:

  • The violent removal of four disabled children

  • A decade of racial profiling

  • Documented harm by named professionals

…and replies with “please check our FAQ,”
what they are actually doing is institutional insulation.

Because this was not a general question.
It was a formal notice of breach, misconduct, and complicit inaction.

Because when a parent risks retaliation to speak truth,
the last thing they should receive is a hyperlink to the login page.


III. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this response as:

  • Procedural evasion

  • Regulatory negligence

  • And a performance of oversight without the substance of duty

The email was not just a non-reply.
It was an automated denial of jurisdiction, wrapped in clerical politeness.

We log this as proof that regulatory bodies, too, play the game of delay —
and when asked to regulate, they often prefer to redirect.

In Re: The Question Westminster Couldn’t Risk the Children Answering Or, How Asking “Why” Became a Legal Offence



⟡ A Contact Session Silenced by Unnamed Risk ⟡

Or, When the State Interrupted a Mother for Asking Why

Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Contact_Interruption_Refusal_to_Disclose_Risk_Urgent_Clarification.pdf


I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025 at 3PM, during a supervised video call with her four children, Polly Chromatic asked a simple and lawful question:

“Do you understand why this is happening?”

Before the children could answer, Sam Brown interrupted the session and declared the question off-limits.

This occurred:

  • In front of the children

  • Without legal basis

  • Despite the fact that no explanation had ever been provided for the children's emergency removal

That evening, the Claimant sent an urgent letter demanding:

  • The legal justification for the contact interruption

  • A full list of medical, dental, educational, and administrative decisions made without parental consent

  • A written account of the alleged “risk” that justified removal


II. Why It’s Legally and Morally Indefensible

Since 23 June 2025, the Claimant has:

  • Received no written grounds for the Emergency Protection Order

  • Been denied participation in educational and medical decisions

  • Been routinely silenced under the guise of procedure

Now, even during contact, she is forbidden to ask why her children were taken — under threat of the call being terminated.

This is not safeguarding.
This is state-orchestrated gagging.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a mother cannot ask her children why they are separated,
when no risk is explained,
and when basic inquiries are met with supervisory censorship —

then safeguarding is no longer about safety. It is about power.

Because silence is not neutral. It is a policy.

Because Westminster cannot:

  • Remove four disabled children

  • Cancel their asthma care

  • Enroll them in school

  • Restrict their family

  • And then interrupt the one person still asking questions

without that silence being noted, archived, and weaponised in return.


IV. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. formally classifies this contact session as:

  • Procedurally censored

  • Legally ungrounded

  • And symbolic of the Local Authority’s larger pattern of retaliatory interference

The refusal to disclose any risk while simultaneously gagging the parent is a strategic contradiction.
It is not poor communication. It is institutional theatre.

We log this as part of a long-standing record of:

  • Unjustified safeguarding

  • Obstructive supervision

  • And the unlawful orchestration of emotional deprivation in procedural wrapping

This was not a contact session.
It was a rehearsed deprivation with state actors in soft lighting.

In Re: Romeo v. The Contact That Forgot to Include Him Or, How the State Discovered That Silence Is Its Favourite Custodian



⟡ Romeo Was Missing, and the State Did Not Blink ⟡

Or, When Three Children Were Delivered and One Was Quietly Withdrawn

Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Immediate_Concern_Regal_Missing_from_Video_Contact.pdf


I. What Happened

On the evening of 4 July 2025, the Claimant participated in a scheduled video contact session with her four children. However, only three were present.

Regal, aged 16 — the eldest and most protective sibling — was missing.

When asked, the other children casually replied:

“He’s riding his bike.”

No professional offered explanation.
No documentation was provided.
No supervision intervened.

This is not a scheduling error. This is procedural gaslighting by omission.


II. Why It’s So Disturbing

Just two days prior, Regal:

  • Requested his belongings from home

  • Asked to speak to his father and grandmother

  • Expressed eagerness to join calls

Romeo has never missed a session voluntarily. His absence was:

  • Unnotified

  • Unexplained

  • Unnatural

The only plausible causes:

  • Improper restriction

  • Punitive withdrawal

  • Unrecorded safeguarding incident

  • Coercive silencing of the only teenager capable of naming the abuse

This was not benign. It was strategic removal by passive force.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when the state subtracts a child from a contact session without reason, it’s not administration — it’s emotional anaesthesia.

Because contact is not an optional performance. It is a right.

Because Romeo — as the eldest and most articulate child — is uniquely vulnerable to institutional efforts to curate what gets seen by the parent, the court, and the archive.

Because if Regal were visibly distressed, bruised, or vocal, withholding him would become a legal tactic.

Because his silence was not absence. It was edited out.


IV. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this event as:

  • An incident of parental erasure

  • A symptom of safeguarding choreography

  • And an urgent signal of either concealment or coercion

We now file this moment — not as a mystery, but as a milestone in the archive of procedural harm.

To exclude Regal without explanation is to rewrite the family script under state direction.

To do so in silence is to assume no one will ask where he went.

We are asking.

In Re: The Lawfulness of Inaction Or, How the ICO and Two Boroughs Were Told They Are Now the Subject of Jurisdiction, Not Its Agents



⟡ The Archive Challenges the Lawfulness of Everything ⟡

Or, When the ICO Was Asked to Explain Its Silence, and the Councils Their Crimes

Reference Code: SWANK/JR/ICO/RBKC/WEST
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_JudicialReviewSubmission_ICO_LawfulnessChallenge.pdf


I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025, Polly Chromatic filed a formal Judicial Review application targeting the Information Commissioner’s OfficeWestminster City Council, and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

The claim?
Lawlessness by silence. Maladministration by design. Complicity by omission.

Specifically, this submission challenges:

  • The lawfulness of the ICO’s inaction on urgent data protection complaints

  • The coordinated misuse of safeguarding law following disability disclosures

  • And the lack of legal basis for the removal of four U.S. citizen children

This was not a petition.
It was an indictment wrapped in procedural velvet.


II. Why It Matters

This submission alleges:

  • Breach of Article 8 (Right to family life)

  • Disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010

  • Data protection failures under UK GDPR

  • Procedural abuse under the Children Act and JR protocols

It asserts that the very regulators charged with oversight became accessories by inaction — particularly the ICO, who received multiple notices, failed to act, and thereby enabled retaliatory safeguarding actions.

Let us be clear:
The ICO’s delay is not neutral. It is administratively violent.


III. What the Document Contains

  • Full Statement of Grounds

  • Chronology of misconduct

  • Named references to Kirsty HornalSam BrownSarah Newman, and ICO handling officers

  • A demand for injunctive reliefinvestigative inquiry, and public accountability

This is no narrow complaint.
This is a jurisdictional intervention — against the machinery of deflection.


IV. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is where the archive ceases to whisper and begins to command.

Because a mother whose children were stolen in legal daylight, and whose complaints were ignored by the ICO, has now turned the table:

  • She is no longer the petitioner.

  • She is the litigant-archivist, moving jurisdiction like a scalpel.

Because judicial review is not just about challenging decisions —
it is about challenging the right to pretend they were lawful in the first place.


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this submission as:

  • A defining moment of procedural escalation

  • A document that renders denial no longer credible

  • A formal declaration that non-response is no longer an option

This is not just a court document.
This is an institutional challenge to the performance of oversight itself.

The ICO may redact. The Councils may redact.
But the archive remembers everything.

In Re: The Judiciary Received Fire and Asked What It Meant Or, How a Civil Notice Became a Misfiled Mystery



⟡ The Court Received an Emergency and Responded With Puzzlement ⟡

Or, When Four Children Were Taken and HMCTS Asked for Clarification

Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Legal_Autoreply_Emergency_Notice_Unlawful_Removal_No_Contact.pdf


I. What Happened

On 28 June 2025, the Claimant issued a Legal Autoreply – Emergency Notice to the Administrative Court, detailing:

  • The unlawful police-assisted removal of four disabled U.S. citizen children

  • The lack of notice, medication, or safeguarding continuity

  • Ongoing N1 civil claims, judicial review filings, and procedural blockages

  • A formal assertion of active legal proceedings, disability rights, and parental exclusion

Six days later, on 4 July 2025 at 12:01, Rachael Abiola from the Administrative Court replied:

“Please be informed it is unclear what you are requesting from the court.”

No acknowledgment of the emergency.
No referral.
No clarification.
Just bewilderment wrapped in passive officialdom.


II. The Bureaucratic Absence

Let the record reflect:

  • The court received the facts of police-led child removal

  • The court acknowledged receiving the email

  • The court chose not to understand it

This was not ambiguity. This was an act of disavowal — institutionally engineered through bureaucratic selectivity.

The Claimant did not ask for action.
She informed the court that action was already underway.
HMCTS responded with “We’re unclear what you want.”


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this email is proof of:

  • How the courts perform ignorance

  • How systems delay responsibility through confusion

  • How legal emergencies are reclassified as clerical puzzles

Because it is not the public’s duty to phrase things so perfectly that the court has no choice but to care.

Because the court’s reply is a document of procedural dereliction in the face of an already-escalated legal event.


IV. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this as:

  • A moment of procedural disavowal cloaked in civility

  • A document of institutional inertia masquerading as professionalism

  • A demonstration that emergency declarations are often swallowed by the inbox

We hereby archive it as a failure not just of law, but of literacy.
When the court cannot parse the claim that four children were taken, it is not clarity that is lacking — it is care.
