Re: Bank/Building Society Offiical - my understanding of the word "official" is it needs to be someone like Branch Manager rather than any employee.ibtechie wrote:I tried searching through the forum to clarify questions i have regarding Professional referees but didnt find any relevant posts.
Bank/Building Society Offiical - Can this be an Investment Bank Employee. For example, somebody working in JPMorgan Investment Bank?
Doctors - I only see Dentist in List of Acceptable Professional Referees. Can it be a Doctor who is on a GP (ie physiatrist). I learnt from the forum that GP have been taken off from the list but not sure if Doctors still qualify.
Thanks in Advance.
One of them is ok for your children.ilrseeker wrote:Could anyone please clarify if the refrees for me and my wife can be also be referees for my children.
It will be two of my friends who are IT consultants(Engineers by qualification) and also family friends from last 5 yrs.
for the younger one you can use any refs as he/she is too young to be known for 3 years anyway plus explain it in the relevant section (additional info - page 13).ilrseeker wrote:6 year old

But you should have one professional referee who has engaged with your children in a professional capacity.
So not any professional but the one who is working somehow with your children. For example, not any dentist but your kids' one, not any teacher but your kids' one, not any cleric but the one from the church your kids go to, etc.
ukpl is talking about child's referees. You are talking about adult's referees.Jk2007 wrote:ukpl,ukpl wrote:One of them is ok for your children.ilrseeker wrote:Could anyone please clarify if the refrees for me and my wife can be also be referees for my children.

Can you please clarify where the rule you have quoted is mentioned? I am seeing only the following in the guidance:
"Each referee should have known you personally for at least 3 years.
One referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing, such as a minister of religion, civil servant or a member of a professional body, for example accountant or solicitor (but not representing you with this application). A list of acceptable
professional persons can be found on our website.
The other referee must be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25."
My understanding is that 'any' professional person in the list can be a referee, not necessarily the one that is associated with the applicant's profession. For example, a lawyer applicant not necessarily should seek a legal professional as a referee.
