Summary: Westminster followed one social worker’s hostility off a professional cliff.
I. What Happened
• On 17 June 2025, Ms. Kirsty Hornal initiated an unannounced “supervision package” visit, signalling surveillance rather than support.
• On 20 June 2025, she repeated the intrusion, confirming a pattern of hostility.
• On 23 June 2025, her escalation culminated in pursuit of an Emergency Protection Order, resulting in the unlawful removal of four U.S.-citizen children.
• On 24 June 2025, an Interim Care Order was entered while the mother was wrongly recorded as “unrepresented,” a conspicuous procedural collapse.
II. What the Document Establishes
• Personal Animus – Professional neutrality displaced by vendetta.
• Institutional Capture – Other professionals aligned with her bias, allowing personal hostility to dictate public policy.
• Escalatory Pattern – From surveillance to seizure, each action compounded disproportionality.
• Direct Child Impact – Fear visible in contact sessions; asthma risks heightened through erratic removals.
• International Mischaracterisation – U.S. citizens reduced to paper fictions of exclusive U.K. subjecthood.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• To expose that Westminster’s “safeguarding” case is not child welfare but bureaucratic retaliation.
• To preserve evidence that one individual’s hostility reshaped an entire institutional posture.
• To demonstrate how personal animus can metastasize into systemic violation.
• To record the spectacle: a Local Authority humiliated globally for following one officer off a cliff.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Children Act 1989, s.1 – Paramountcy principle ignored.
• Social Work England Standards (s.1, s.3) – Breach of neutrality and proportionality.
• Article 8, European Convention on Human Rights – Family life interfered with on disproportionate grounds.
• UNCRC, Art. 3 – Best interests subordinated to professional ego.
• Vienna Convention (1963) – Consular rights of U.S. citizens disregarded.
• Procedural Integrity – Interim Care Order obtained on defective representation record.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not leadership. This is cliff-leadership.
• We do not accept the erasure of neutrality.
• We reject the escalation of hostility as policy.
• We will document the institutional humiliation of Westminster as the inevitable consequence of Hornal’s choices.
