“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

In re: Chromatic (Educational Integrity and Institutional Neglect)



⟡ “We Taught Our Children – You Just Didn’t Read the Drive.” ⟡
Mischaracterisation of Home Education and Suppression of Submitted Materials

Filed: 30 June 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-30_SWANK_Addendum_EduFilesNeglect_FalseClaimRebuttal.pdf
A formal rebuttal documenting institutional neglect of submitted home education records and unlawful obstruction of professional development.


I. What Happened

Despite providing Westminster Children’s Services with over 350 emails and a dedicated Google Drive link containing extensive homeschooling records since 2023, Polly Chromatic’s lawful and well-maintained home education programme was ignored. Social workers—including Kirsty Hornal—never requested specific documentation, never acknowledged receipt, and failed to review materials provided for educational oversight. On 23 June 2025, four children were removed under an Emergency Protection Order—mid-education—without any substantiated safeguarding concern.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • A complete, detailed curriculum was maintained and documented

  • Westminster social workers refused to acknowledge submitted materials

  • Regal’s legal career path via acting and modelling was obstructed

  • Sudden removal constituted both educational and professional sabotage

  • Written communication was necessary due to diagnosed vocal impairment

  • Westminster never adapted or accommodated disability-related needs


III. Why SWANK Logged It

To document the disturbing pattern whereby public authorities suppress parent-provided documentation in order to fabricate a narrative of neglect. This is not a case of educational failure—it is a case of institutional failure to read.


IV. Violations

  • Article 8 ECHR – Interference with family life, identity, and personal development

  • Procedural Negligence – Refusal to process or acknowledge shared records

  • Tortious Interference – With a child’s lawful professional activities

  • Disability Discrimination – Failure to adapt communications despite medical diagnosis


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd affirms that the Applicant’s home education programme was active, legal, and vibrant. Romeo’s professional work was legitimate and disrupted without justification. Westminster’s claims are demonstrably false. This is not safeguarding. This is sabotage.

Chromatic v. Hornal & Westminster – On the Jurisprudence of Ignored Emails and Disability Denial



⟡ “Too Many Emails” Is Not a Legal Rebuttal ⟡
How Westminster Weaponised Disability-Compliant Communication as a Procedural Offence


Filed: 30 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMCOURT/ADD-EMAILVOL-0625
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-30_SWANK_Addendum_EmailVolume_LawfulAdvocacyPattern.pdf
Addendum rebutting Westminster’s complaint about email volume from a medically-exempt parent


I. What Happened

Westminster Children’s Services claimed that over 350 emails sent by the Applicant — Polly Chromatic — constituted excessive or inappropriate communication.

This occurred despite the fact that:

  • All communications were written due to a lawful medical exemption (muscle tension dysphonia and severe asthma).

  • The Applicant had repeatedly and formally explained this accommodation to Westminster.

  • The content of the emails addressed urgent safeguarding failures, medical updates, and educational evidence.

  • The social workers — most notably Kirsty Hornal — ignored these communications, failed to act on evidence, and escalated interventions without legal basis.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

• Disability discrimination by minimising lawful accommodations
• Retaliatory framing — the parent was penalised for using the only communication method available to her
• Institutional gaslighting — baiting responses, then citing those responses as misconduct
• Neglect of substance — the focus on “email volume” masks the complete disregard of content
• Violation of dignity and procedural fairness — by expecting a chronically ill mother to repeat herself endlessly to a system that doesn’t read


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the absurdity of this accusation — “you emailed us too much while parenting four children with chronic illness and being ignored by the state” — would be laughable if it weren’t violently real.

Because documentation is not misconduct.

Because if institutions refuse to read, then we will write it into the record.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010: Discriminatory failure to honour medical communication accommodations

  • Article 8, ECHR: Unjustified interference with family life through administrative harassment

  • Safeguarding Failures: Ignoring submitted medical and educational documentation

  • Procedural Retaliation: Punishing written advocacy instead of addressing its content


V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd affirms that:

  • Polly Chromatic’s communications were lawful, responsive, and necessary.

  • The “volume” of emails reflects procedural neglect, not personal dysfunction.

  • Repeated escalation by Westminster — while ignoring evidence — proves a pattern of retaliation.

  • It is institutionally dishonest to provoke a response then claim victimhood when one arrives.

SWANK writes what others ignore. And we will write it again, if necessary — not because we enjoy it, but because they don’t listen.



They Could Always Write — They Just Didn’t Until It Became Risky Not To



⟡ “Ah. So Now You Can Write Emails — Just Not Before the PLO Threat?” ⟡
A sarcastic confirmation of Westminster’s long-awaited disability compliance, issued only after public exposure, medical crisis, and police reports.

Filed: 15 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/PLO-14
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-15_SWANK_Email_Westminster_PLOReply_SatiricalComplianceConfirmation.pdf
A satirical, evidentiary reply confirming that written communication — refused for over a year — was suddenly adopted after legal complaints, safeguarding escalation, and institutional exposure.


I. What Happened

On 14 April 2025, Westminster sent a formal PLO warning. On 15 April, Polly Chromatic responded — not with fear, but with irony.

Her reply:

  • Acknowledges that written communication has finally been adopted — after over a year of refusal

  • Notes the absurdity of only complying once safeguarding retaliation had been activated

  • Cites sewer gas injury, psychiatric reports, and police filings as the real triggers for “progress”

  • Delivers sarcasm as structure — not spite — to expose the timeline of institutional negligence

  • Sends the record to multiple parties: WCC, RBKC, and the Met Police — for the witness trail

It is less a thank you than a receipt. A timestamped record of coerced compliance.


II. What the Email Establishes

  • Westminster refused disability adjustments for more than a year

  • Written contact was only adopted under legal pressure, not ethical review

  • The institution is capable of compliance — but only when caught

  • Emotional and medical harm were ignored until procedural risk became too high

  • Retaliation was disguised as safeguarding — and exposed as retaliation again


III. Why SWANK Filed It

Because irony is not deflection — it is documentation. This email confirms that institutional progress did not arrive from policy or compassion, but from pressure and procedural exposure. SWANK archived it as a living example of how disability rights are not granted — they are forced open.

SWANK filed this to:

  • Mark the date of Westminster’s first written contact — after documented refusal

  • Preserve the evidentiary tone of coerced, reluctant adjustment

  • Expose how compliance is often a PR move, not a protection one


IV. Violations (Leading Up to This Reply)

  • Equality Act 2010 – Sections 20, 27, 149 (adjustment failure, victimisation, public sector duty)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)

  • Children Act 1989 – Harm caused through administrative negligence and delay

  • Social Work England Standards – Ignored professional boundaries and ethics until forced

  • UNCRPD – Article 21 (access to communication), Article 16 (protection from exploitation)


V. SWANK’s Position

You do not get credit for finally obeying the law — after using every opportunity to ignore it. You do not get applause for communicating in writing — after nearly destroying a family’s health, safety, and dignity.

This was not a good-faith adjustment. It was a procedural scramble. And now it is part of the public record.

SWANK London Ltd. classifies this as a Post-Retaliation Compliance Receipt — filed not for gratitude, but for litigation.

Safeguarding by Sabotage: When Parents Complain, Westminster Escalates



⟡ “When You Retaliate for Complaints, That’s Not Safeguarding — That’s Sabotage” ⟡
A statutory dissection of Westminster’s discriminatory misconduct, procedural breakdown, and the emotional collateral left in its wake.

Filed: 23 April 2025
Reference: SWANK/WCC/COMPLAINT-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-04-23_SWANK_Complaint_Westminster_PLO_DisabilityRetaliation.pdf
Formal complaint to Westminster Council citing unlawful disability discrimination, PLO retaliation, and safeguarding misuse by Sam Brown and Kirsty Hornal — supported by legal evidence, medical records, and a digital archive.


I. What Happened

On 23 April 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a comprehensive complaint to Westminster City Council. The letter detailed a sequence of events that exposes Westminster’s PLO engagement as procedurally hollowlegally discriminatory, and retaliatory in design.

Key issues include:

  • Ignoring written communication mandates backed by clinical reports

  • Escalating to PLO after a social worker admitted there were no active safeguarding concerns

  • Causing respiratory illness and education disruption following sewer gas poisoning

  • Misrepresenting children’s emotional states contrary to recorded and participatory evidence

  • Withholding or omitting key evidence from internal records and correspondence

This isn’t just administrative oversight — it’s institutional defamation with statutory consequences.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Direct disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010

  • Safeguarding used as reprisal for complaints to hospitals and regulators

  • Emotional and educational harm to children caused by statutory harassment

  • Failure to document, disclose, or correct internal evidence

  • Public authority conduct marked by omission, escalation, and bad faith


III. Why SWANK Filed It

This is a canonical example of how public bodies convert complaint defence into safeguarding attack. Westminster responded to regulatory accountability not with reform, but with escalation. The family's health, education, and stability were sacrificed to preserve procedural face.

SWANK archived this complaint to:

  • Publicly expose Westminster’s weaponisation of PLO against a disabled parent

  • Document retaliation patterns following formal complaints

  • Build a foundation for Judicial Review, EHRC submission, and ombudsman proceedings

This isn’t just about what was done. It’s about how predictable, avoidable, and cruel it all was.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010 – Section 20 (reasonable adjustments), Section 27 (victimisation), Section 149 (public duty)

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 22 (welfare of the child), misuse of child protection powers

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (fair process), Article 8 (family life), Article 14 (discrimination)

  • UK GDPR – Failure to correct inaccurate data, omission of parent-supplied evidence

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – Article 3 (best interests), Article 12 (right to be heard)


V. SWANK’s Position

When a safeguarding investigation is offered to be closed, then escalated a month later with no new facts — that’s not protection. That’s punishment. When you misreport a child’s emotional wellbeing while ignoring medical crises and cultural context, you don’t deserve public trust. You deserve public audit.

SWANK London Ltd. demands:

  • A formal internal investigation into both named officers

  • An official apology for discrimination, retaliation, and family harm

  • Written-only communication as standard protocol going forward

  • Full data transparency and procedural accountability under UK public law

Chromatic v RBKC (Playground Interrogation: Safeguarding Misconduct) [2024] SWANK 2



⟡ “A Few Questions at the Playground” ⟡
Where safeguarding ends, and intimidation begins — documented.

Filed: 5 January 2024
Reference: SWANK/RBKC/SAFEGUARD-0124
📎 Download PDF – 2024-01-05_Statement_PlaygroundQuestioning_Trauma_SocialWorkerMisconduct.pdf
Direct statement to RBKC detailing coercive playground interrogation, emotional harm to children, and repeated failure to respond to lawful disability and legal support requests.


I. What Happened

On 5 July 2023, social workers Eric Wedge-Bull and “Jess” arrived uninvited at the Applicant’s home in Elgin Crescent. Despite recent illness, they insisted on the visit. Once inside, the children — delighted to showcase their new home — took the social workers to the communal garden. Without warning or consent, Eric led two of the children away for isolated questioning in a public playground surrounded by neighbours and peers.

When they returned, the children were visibly shaken. Later, they disclosed that Eric’s questioning was aggressive and humiliating. This took place in the open, in front of friends and adults in their new community. No safeguarding justification was ever provided. No consent was ever given. No follow-up report was issued until the Applicant forced the issue months later.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Boundary Violation: Questioning minor children in public without consent or privacy

  • Safeguarding Misuse: No cause, no caution, no child-centred practice

  • Emotional Harm: Children reported trauma and visible distress after the event

  • Disability Dismissal: Requests for help (asthma support, name change assistance) were ignored

  • Procedural Apathy: No follow-up report filed; only released under pressure

  • Narrative Aggression: Apparent aim to manufacture concern, not to resolve it


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this wasn’t oversight — it was orchestration.
Because social workers are not entitled to interrogate children like state agents in a park.
Because “just a few questions” becomes weaponised surveillance in the wrong hands.
Because trauma masked as protocol is the oldest trick in the safeguarding abuser’s playbook.
And because children remember who humiliated them in front of their friends. So do we.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – breach of duty to act in best interests

  • Equality Act 2010 – failure to accommodate known medical conditions

  • Article 8 ECHR – unlawful interference with private and family life

  • Social Work England Professional Standards – violation of consent, dignity, and procedural transparency


V. SWANK’s Position

What Eric Wedge-Bull did was not safeguarding. It was theatre.
Conducted in public. Against the wishes of the family.
No explanation. No consent. No care.
We do not accept intimidation as engagement.
We do not accept silence as response.
And we do not accept the trauma of children being mined as material for a file.
We document it. We name it. We archive it.
