References

Please provide the details of two adult referees who are not related to you or your child who can provide a reference for your child. We cannot accept references from family members or relatives.

Your child's referees need to be impartial authority figures, such as a teacher, coach, tutor, employer or similar. One referee only may be a family friend but teachers, coaches, etc. are preferred.

Please confirm with the referees first that they are happy to provide a reference for your child. Once you have submitted the volunteer application, please email them this link so they can provide their reference for your child electronically: sydneyfc.org.au/volunteer-reference

Please let the referees know that we may contact them if we have any questions about their reference.

IMPORTANT:

It is your/ your child's responsibility to email the link to the referees and ensure the references are provided in a timely manner. We will not follow up on the reference with the referees. We will only contact them if we have questions about their reference once it has been submitted.
