I am only now waiting on my ssafa checks to enable me to be registered.

The forms were sent off mid November, anyone any ideas on how long they usually take. Ofsted advised on contacting them to chase but can find no general number for them either!!!!

R U still waiting for them? :eek: , I didn't have one (don't ask think I must of missed something on the page!), I know the girl that used to live on your street had to phone and chase them up on this too! Maybe someone will have a number for you somewhere

good to see you back on;)

I Know, its soooo frustrating as I had back my CRB's, Health forms, refs etc and pre reg done by Xmas and was hoping to be up and running by Feb Half Term. Well going to call Ofsted 2moz to check again with them if theyve had it back yet, and trawl for a number for ssafa if not.

Hi
I didn't have to wait long for my ssafa check just over a year ago, I did phone ssafa up & was told I was not meant to call them.
It took me from sending my forms to register to receiving my cert was 9 weeks.
I am now exforcesas hubby got out las Feb but we are still in our quarter for medical reasons my son needed surgery on his jaw we should be moving sometime this year.

My hubby's SSAFA check took about 2 months, it seemed like a lot longer though!

I thought it was quite strange that Forces peeps have to have these 'extra checks' but Merchant Navy don't.

I sent mine off in october and am still waiting. thankfully i'm due to move house soon so am in no rush for it really at the minute now. But it is still annoying. Your hubby can get the number from work thats what my hubby did but if you have any problems getting it let me know and i'll ask hubby for it for you (he's at work at the min).

good luck x

Thanks for that. Have just called ofsted and it is still outstanding, she said that this is the one thing that they are not allowed to chase, and my dh is in Marham for the next 2 weeks so just going to keep calling every couple of days to check and if no luck by time he's back will get him to find the number.

Hope the move goes well.

Ofsted tried chasing mine up but they couldnt even get through to the right department.
