APPENDIX 10 Points of Contact for Families Serving in the Forces The life of a Naval, Army and Royal Air Force family differs in many respects from that of a family in civilian life particularly for those living overseas or on bases and garrisons in the United Kingdom. The Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force control the movement of families in response to Service commitments and the frequency of such moves may make it difficult for Local Authorities to carry out statutory checks. The Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force are fully committed to co-operating with statutory and other agencies. SSAFA Forces Help is funded by the Ministry of Defence to provide a professional social work service to Royal Air Force personnel and their families in the United Kingdom and on a tri-service basis overseas. This includes the processing of statutory checks. As from the 15 th August 2001, in the event of checks being required in respect of serving and ex Service Army and Royal Air Force personnel and their families, the attached forms must be completed and returned to The Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association – Forces Help, 19 Queen Elizabeth Street, London SE1 2LP. Tel. No: 020 7403 8783 Fax. No: 020 7403 8815. It remains the responsibility of the Local Authority to complete relevant civilian checks, including the Police National Computer, as in Section 2 of the request form. Applicants should be aware that Military Service records including Service Police and Conduct Sheets will be checked as well as SSAFA Forces Help social work records and those held by the Army Welfare Service. Alternative arrangements exist for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines and request should be forwarded to: Royal Navy DNSCWI NPFS Room 24 Chaplaincy Annex Admiralty House HM Naval Base Portsmouth PO1 3LR Tel. No: 02392 727255 Royal Marines SO3 Welfare HQ Royal Marines West Battery Whale Island Portsmouth PO2 8DX Tel. No: 02392 547542 150
