Question details
References for professional experience of key experts
Section 7.1 Part 3 which states the requirement to provide ‘a copy of employer certificates or references proving the professional experience indicated in their CVs.’ It is uncommon in the United Kingdom to be issued with an employment certificate, hence would a written reference be required from every employer listed or just a referee provided who can confirm the employment and role if required? It may be possible to request a record of employment history from HM Revenue and Customs, would this suffice?
