From the VA website here:

Specifically, "
CAA regulations mandate that carriers make every effort possible to seat families together. If you are travelling with a child, and there are not enough available seats that are grouped together, the seat map button will not be displayed.
In all of these instances, your seats will be assigned when you check in for your flight.
Q Can I choose seats which are not together?
A CAA regulations mandate that carriers make every effort possible to seat families together. If you are travelling with a child, we can only allow you to choose seats which are grouped together.
As long as there is one adult with one child they
could put 2 in one row and 2 many rows away, but they will endeavour not to. Suppose it comes down to the definition of every effort.
