As mentioned on our other vetting information pages, you will be asked to provide names and addresses of referees who will be able to provide references for you (not friends or relatives). In order to speed up the process and avoid delays it is essential that you provide this information covering the last 3 years in the case of security vetting and 5 years in the case of CRB checks. If you were not employed during the 3 or 5 year period then details from a professional such as your GP or someone of equivalent standing in the community would also be suitable.
