Acceptable referees

Created by Alex Griffiths, Modified on Wed, 31 Jan at 9:24 AM by Alex Griffiths

Within the registration form volunteers will be asked for the details of their chosen referees.  They will be instructed to provide the details of people who; know them well (ideally for more than 2 years), are over the age of 18 and are not members of their family.  If the surname of the volunteer and the referee match SignMeUp will remind them that their referees should not be in their family, but it will not prevent them from continuing as many people share the same surname and are not related.


There may also be specific organisation requirements for acceptable referees, such as the person provided as a referee must be a professional (e.g a doctor, lawyer or teacher), be known to the organisation or other chosen criteria by the organisation.
