referee

[easy]

Hi all,

I have booked an ncs appointment this week due to sudden notice by HO to increase in fees wef 18 March.

I could able to get my accountant signature however I need another signature which my friend could able to do it for me. Perhaps he became a bankrupt in last year. Will HO accept his signature.

Please can you advise ASAP.

Many thanks

A person who has been declared bankrupt would not be a good choice for a referee. Find another person.

Thanks CR001,

Is there any requirement about length of period referee should know us? I tried but couldn't not find any guidelines on it. Please could you provide your opinion.

Thanks

We have moved into current place 2 years back hence our children are not known to above professionals for more than 3 years.

Please could you help.

Please could you reply on below ASAP as appointment is been booked and I have a very short time to respond.

Earliest advice would be much appreciated.

Accountant should be fine provided they have known the children. If HO aren't happy with the referee, they will ask you for another one.

NCS officer has advised that children referee don't have to known the children for any particular length of time as long as they work with the child - unlike in case of adults

Thanks

Looks good, one thing to add though, is my NCS didn't use the payment form from the bottom of the fees leaflet, they had their own payment form which the adviser filled in with my card details for me.

Good luck
