MN1 Form and struggling to get Professional Reference

[makkan00]

Hi Chaps.
Bit disappointed .
I have two kids. One of them is 10 months old and other 26 months old. We have contacted their health visitors and tried the GPs.

Both of them have refused to fill and provide references for the kids.
Health visitor declined over the phone and GP read the form and after reading the first line 'person should know the child PERSONALLY', he has declined.

The form says that one person should know the child in professional relationship.

Surely there will be more people like us. So How do you guys deal with such situation and what is best for us?

Thanks.

I am also worrying about my Health visitor and GP. What if they would refuse to provide references.

Please help us!!!

You can get any professional referee who knows you for 2 years, not necessarily knows the child. Just ask the person who signed for as your referee.

If the child is U.K. born then registration under section 1(3) of the Act is an entitlement. As a result, it is unlikely that it can be refused even if a reference is missing.

We get questions on this subject almost every day, of these professionals refusing to sign a simple form to help the child they have cared for become a British citizen. Is this kind of attitude typical in Britain these days or is it an exception?

Thats true. I guess modern era is a bit selfish. Nobody wants to help especially if GPs have PINs from their councils and I suppose same goes for the health visitors.

And when they see that its home office paper work, the say straight away 'NO'.
