Training, Education and Qualifications
Please provide the details of two people who would be willing to provide you with a personal reference. If you are currently working (paid or voluntary) one of these should be your current employer. We reserve the right to take up character references from any other individuals deemed necessary.
We recommend you contact your referees and ask permission to pass their details to us. Also ask them to keep a look out for a reference request email from us - this sometimes ends up in people's junk mail.
