    My daughter was not able to get a Saturday job until she was 16 years old. They all wanted National Insurance number and passport.
    Over 30 years ago this was what all the employers said when my school friend (now my sis in law) asked around. She has a summer birthday, so had already left school after sitting exams and was looking for part-time work before going into sixth form, but she was still 15. I've got an Autumn birthday, so was months past my 16th when I started looking and had no problems. I got the first Saturday job I applied for.
