Remove empty space

As shown in the above image I have an empty space between "Social - group interaction" and "Emotional - books, dramatic play". I am unable to select it. I have activated show hidden characters and I still cannot see or select the object (if there is one at all). When I backspace the emotional dot point it simply jumps over the blank space to the end of the previous line of text.

I am wanting to remove this empty space so the dot points flow from one to the next with equal spacing.

Kind Regards,

Dave.
