Hello,
I am applying for my child MN1 application as born in the UK from EU parents and one of them, myself, has ILR (settled status approved).
IT asks for two referees and my undertanding is that one of them needed to have professional involvement with the child. I have called the health visitor and GP and they both have declined giving me different reasons. I have a friend who is a doctor (not British, is EU citizen but working in the NHS and is in the UK for more than 6 years) who is willing to be a referee.
1. Will they be accepted as a professional referree?
2. For the second i am having a british family friend.
3. How can i prove that have tried and failed? I have communicated with both of them on the phone as they do not book in person appointments at the moment due to the current situation.

Any help would be very helpful.

Thank you

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.
