Hello.
There would be a problem if the two referees for my kids citizenship application are from the same school?
Both of them have been in the same school the last 4 years and the head teacher and another teacher agreed to be the referees.
But the Head teacher told me that it can be a potential issue with the Home Office if the referees work together in the same institution.
Can anyone confirm or clarify this?

Thanks!

Referees must not be related to each other (whether through blood or marriage), they can be colleagues.
So this will be ok - unless the HT can support his concern. My referees (adult application) were colleagues in the same company where I worked.

Thanks for your prompt response alterhase58.
What you say is exactly what I understand reading the citizenship application guides, but the comment the Head teacher made me this morning made me doubt.
So far I haven't found anything that says the two referees cant be working in the same place.
