Citizenship referee for Minor / child

Hi,
I have recently got my British citizenship. Now I am applying naturalization for my family. My son is under 18. In the referee form says, one should be teacher or GP. However, I did not noticed that and recently I have moved my address.

Schools are closed due to summer vacation and my new GP is known to me for only one week.

In that this case can I use one normal professional (not his school teacher or GP) and another one is a British citizen who is personally known to us for 3 yrs. If I don't use his school teacher or GP as one referee then do you think my sons application will be rejected?

Appreciate if someone can guide me in this matter.

Regards / Hasan

Use a "normal" professional referee and attach a covering note explaining the difficulties. UKVI are aware of the issues with referees for children - it's not a reason to reject the application.
