The data has changed, discharge data has been added, but it wasn't there previously. And child without a discharge date will cause this error. This will not be a problem for any children created moving forward.

There are two options a) delete all children created before this date, or amend them to include a discharge date or b) deal with the problem programmatically, but what date should we use if no discharge date is provided?
