Photo ID for a child?

NAS72455
over 3 years ago

We are foster carers with a lovely ( and challenging)  13 year old boy.

He receives DLA payments and we would like to take him to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and similar attractions.

They offer a carers ticket which is great but ask for the DLA letter and also photo ID.

He doesn't have a passport and I don't know what other form of photo ID would be acceptable for a child?

Please has anyone come across this before and if so what kind of pass did you use?

Many thanks

    Every place I've ever taken disabled children just ask to see a copy of the DLA or PIP letter - they know they're too young to have photo id.        

    Does he have a blue badge - a photocopy of that is also acceptable..   Take some id for yourself - driving licence is easiest.

    If you're worried, just give them a bell - you'd be surprised at how helpful they are.       

    At Thorpe Park, you can bypass the long park entrance queues by talking to the ticket office - they take us through a different entrance - so we're in before a few hundred people - get straight to the good rides.  Smiley.
