It kept in mind that Abiyah 'was just ever seen by a little number of specialists during his lifetime, and for a minimal time only'.

According to records, he was seen by a health visitor in April 2016 shortly after his birth, and the following month for a check-up.

There was some contact in 2018 with a regional authority social employee in London and 4 check outs to a children's centre in Birmingham, however the review stated: 'Records of these contacts and interactions are extremely limited, enhancing that there was very little insight into (Abiyah's) existence, health or well-being.'

'This is particularly difficult when parents are reluctant and resistant to engage, which in this scenario took the focus far from the security of this little kid until tragically it was far far too late.

'Having the confidence to acknowledge and know how to ask about ethnic background, cultural and belief related behaviours, while keeping an open mind, can help kid safeguarding practitioners throughout agencies build much better relationships with families and identify the effect and possible dangers to children.

'It is acknowledged that this and the other discovering points raised by the review have been taken on board by the organisations involved and modifications have actually been made to much better safeguard kids.'
