BigBoy · 8 Aug 2011 at 11:12

I'm a bus driver, and I'm trying to get staff passes for my children who only live with me 1night a week!

I have provided the requested birth certificates an now they want proof of address how am I meant to get this for a 5 and 4 year old, neither of them go to school (home taught) and doctors/dentist is registered with there mums address.

Any help would be great as work are doing my head in!!

I don't suppose telling your work that they need to stop being retarded as they are your kids would work?

I feel your pain.
At one time I had to get CRBs for 14 year olds and it was a very hard job.

Proof of address for a minor is easy, medical cards, doesn't help the OP as they're no doubt registered at mums address but there you go.

Guess you're going to have to sign them up to pay the water bill

Yea Medical card?

Get someone to post a letter to your address with your kids name on it?

Why? Had they done something wrong in the past?

Bring your boss over?

I'm assuming they were doing work experience at a school/hospital or other job working with vulnerable people, CRB checking is pretty standard.

Just been to the Bank to open accounts for them, and they need there passports (at there mums house) should not be a problem getting her to loan me them fir a few days so I can get this all sorted out!

Fingers crossed.

Library card might have been quicker or some form of club membership.

They are NHS Young Apprentices and do 2 years of Work Experience (50 days total) in hospital wards, nursery schools and care homes.

Exactly, difficult to gain proof of address when you are not permanently resident at the address.
Rather runs in the face of the process of proving address.

Do you have any kind of formal divorce settlement stating the children can be with you one night a week?

We were never married thank god! Its just an annoyance that work whom I worked for when both the kids were born and had to take paternity leave for, won't give them a pass if they don't live with me! Its not like it was my choice!!!
