An example of policy regarding writing references for members of staff
Only the Chairman or Chief Executive can provide references on a current or former member of staff. Wherever possible, views of the members of staff’s line manager will be sought. These will be incorporated as appropriate within the reference completed by the Chief Executive. The reference will be sent from the Chief Executive’s office. A copy of the reference will be retained centrally on the individuals personnel file. References are a legal document, which can be challenged.
