Document background
Community Reference Letters are essential documents in England and Wales that serve to validate an individual's character and community involvement. These letters are commonly required for various administrative and legal processes, including immigration applications, housing requests, and educational admissions. A Community Reference Letter should be written by someone who knows the subject well and can speak to their character, typically including information about the length and nature of the relationship, the subject's involvement in community activities, and their general character traits. The writer must be mindful of data protection regulations and ensure all statements are truthful and verifiable.
