      C is the only daughter of BE and AD. I will refer to them both in this judgment by their first names. She was born on the 1 st June last year. These are care proceedings brought by X County Council as a result of injuries sustained by C in the autumn of last year. Cis represented in these proceedings through her Children�s Guardian, Amy Withers.
      On the 30 th September 2020, B, A, C and both grandmothers went on holiday to Cyprus. The central purpose of the holiday was to view possible wedding venues for the couple to marry. The whole family returned to the UK on the 7 th October.
      On the 12 th October, C was taken to Accident and Emergency by ambulance as a result of her having a moment where she appeared to freeze, with eyes wide and staring. B said that she went a grey colour and afterwards, felt very cold. The doctor who examined C thought that she may have experienced a reflux anoxic seizure (a term used for a particular fit which is neither epileptic nor due to breath-holding but rather due to excessive activity of the vagus nerve resulting in a brief stopping of the heart).
      On the 19 th October, C was presented to A&E at 10.24am, after her parents had sought advice from their GP. The presenting complaint was that she was not using her right arm properly. An x-ray of her right shoulder showed a fracture to her right clavicle. A child protection medical was undertaken by Dr Olumuyiwa Oso whilst at the George Elliott hospital and she was transferred to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire. Dr Rajesh Srikantaiah, Consultant Paediatrician undertook an assessment on the morning of the 20 th October.
