Hi,
Can someone share the referee requirements info link on gov.uk website, I cannot find information about it in guidance pdf. I would love to share it with a colleague.
- do both referees need to be BC ?
- do I need to know them for 5 years ?
- can my BC husband be my reference ? ( I assume not)

3 years.

No! Your referees cannot be related to the applicant or to each other, either by blood or marriage.
