Character references
Notifications OFF
I saw someone mention the importance of these this week (apologies - I can't find the post now)
Does anyone have experience?.I'm guessing you have to tell the referee why you want the reference? This is the bit that worries me...

We just had people that knew of the offence write one. I think my OH had 5 or 6 although I can't remember off the top of my head and they were mentioned by the judge positively when giving the sentence. She said she'd read them twice so I'd say they're worth doing.
Hi,
we were advised at the point a sentencing date was in place to provide any character references.
the individual providing one must state who they are and confirm they are aware of all charges against the person.
as the judge will need to read them we were told we didn't need to provide huge numbers, just key ones.
they were sent to the solicitors and are provided to the judge.
we were informed on the day they supported the probation report and they findings.
