Hello,
Im registering my child via MN1 form.
Status, Child is on Tier 2 Dependent visa.
Child born in UK in 2015
I obtained ILR in June 2019 via T2G route.

Upon Completing the application online, in the referee declaration form that needs signing, by the refree it states the following :
"Where the applicant is a child applying, one referee should be a professional who
has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health
visitor, social worker or minister of religion. "

Is this mandatory for the referee to meet one of the criteria and what option have others used for applying via MN1 recently please ?
Thanks

Would a primary school teacher who has known the child for only 3 months be fine as referee ?
or
would the Nursery teacher who has known for atleast a year be fine as a referee please ?
or any other suggestions ?

Based on this information : One referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health visitor, social worker or minister of religion

Any one of the above referee should be fine

I received the above for my little ones, I asked a senior receptionist/ secretary at their registered GP Practice.

Thanks for the replies.

In the referee form, is it the photo of the applicant ( child ) to be pasted or is it the referee's photo please ?

As the confusion lies in the wordings.
In 1st para it refers to the applicant.

in 3rd para it talks about the referee .

Passport photo
