middle child of a family who had migrated to this country in 2005 from Poland and who lived
in Coventry for most of the time that they resided in the UK. Daniel was 4 years 8 months old
at the time of his death on the 3rd March 2012, and he had an older sibling, who will be
referred to as Anna in this report, and a younger sibling, who will be referred to as Adam, who
were aged approximately 7 years and 1 year respectively at the time of their brother’s death.
