Another thing in document checklist which they asked me to tick

If mr xxx told us that their parent is a British citizen then you must provide us evidence of their citizenship. This could include their British passport, a certificate of citizenship or their birth certificate.

I am checking the form and no way I said I am British citizen. What to do?

I am afraid he cannot be a professional referee.

Thanks Zimba,

Doctors (Physicians) are not on this list as well ?

Does that mean they can not be professional referees ?

Technically that list is professionals who can act as referees for adult applicants and doctors are not acceptable as professional referees.
However the policy for child applicants is slightly different:
For child applicants at least one of the referees must be a person who has dealt with
the child in a professional role such as a teacher, doctor, health visitor or social
worker
. Where a child cannot provide a referee who has dealt with them in a
professional capacity and has provided documents to show that they have attempted
to do so, you can accept 2 referees who meet the criteria for referees on adult
applications.
This means doctors will be accepted as professional referees for a child application
