Reference request form

Information for applicants

You will need to receive a reference from 2 people to complete your application:

one clinical academic reference*, e.g. your course tutor or supervisor (for Place2Be staff, this should be your Area Manager or School Project Manager)
one character reference.

*If you are applying for a bursary, we will accept a professional reference from a manager or an academic reference from a tutor. If you have not been in work or education in the past 3 years, you may supply a second character reference. We may ask for another reference in the future.

Neither reference can be a family relative. You are responsible for sourcing your references and ensuring the referee completes this form. This includes sourcing references from Place2Be tutors or employees.

Please forward this reference form to your referee/s, notifying them of the course of study you are applying for.
