Reference - Trade Union Officer

Post by Zell_IW » Tue Feb 03, 2015 4:48 pm

Hi everyone,

I am currently filling in the AN1 application for British Citizenship. I need to choose my professional referee who known me personally for last 3 years. Here, I have a question - how Home Office interprets "trade union officer" as one of acceptable professional referees? Does my workplace's trade union representative (H&S rep) counts in this definition or does it need to be a person directly employed by my union (such as an area organiser)?

He already served as referee for other 3 persons at my workplace and it worked fine, but I would like to ask for clarification.

Many thanks

Amongst allowed and listed professions is "Trade union officer". I personally would feel comfortable in having trade union representative act as my first referee.
I am sometimes wrong.
