Please write below the names and addresses of two people who are willing to provide references for you. One should be someone who knows you in a paid or unpaid work capacity or if you have a social worker, psychiatrist, probation officer or similar professional working with you – you must give them as a referee. The other should be someone who could provide a character reference (teacher, religious leader, neighbour, etc.)

It is important that they have had contact with you recently. Please let them know we will be contacting them soon.

CSV will not accept references from relatives or friends.
