The Institute does not issue open references or testimonials to employees who leave but provides information on a confidential basis to prospective employers at their request, unless you have specifically withdrawn your authorisation for this purpose, in writing, on leaving employment.
Only HR and Directors should provide authorised references on the Institute's behalf. Any other member of staff who is asked to provide a reference should make it clear to the recipient that their reference is given on a personal basis and not on behalf of the Institute.
