Aquiring a UK Social security number (insurance, office, venue)

[jambo101]

Both my born in Canada daughters now have British passports due to my being born in England and them Qualifying by decent as British citizens.
One of my daughters is expressing an interest in going to England maybe next summer and hopefully working over there.
So whats the process for her to get the UK equivalent of a Social Security number? can she get it while she still resides in Canada? or does she have to apply in person at the appropriate government office over in the UK?
Thanks.

Here it is called a National Insurance number (commonly shortened to NI) - more information here:
HM Revenue & Customs: Applying for a National Insurance number

Her employer will give her a form when she starts if she doesn't already have a number.
