SECTION 4

We need the names and contact details of your referees to obtain references. This is so that we safeguard our clients. Your references will be contacted immediately upon the submission of this form. We will not contact them again unless they don’t provide a reference, or some of their replies need clarifying.

In projects where volunteers work with people who are particularly vulnerable, we have a duty to make every effort to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients. Therefore, we need the names of TWO referees in positions of responsibility who have known you for at least one year that we can write to for a character reference. They will be sent a short character reference form to fill in.

Referees cannot be family members or members of your peer group. Suitable referees can include your tutor, former teachers, youth leaders, family friends and employers.

When you submit this form, the reference requests will be sent out automatically.
