Reference Letter and Reference Policy
About this document
A policy setting out who may give employment references on your organisation’s behalf, what they may say, and how references are requested and stored – plus template factual and full reference letters, a letter and questionnaire for requesting references on new recruits, a personal reference note and a reference log.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
