Reference for Writers

Reference request - lead or assistant writer
You have been asked to provide a reference for someone who is interested in being a lead writer (paid role) or an assistant writer (volunteer role). They will be asked to turn up on 10 pre-arranged dates to run or help run a creative writing workshop for children aged between 7 and 18 years old. They will be asked to support the young people with their writing, and join in with some fun writing games and activities. Without the support of the lead and assistant writers, it is impossible for these sessions to run.
In case we need to contact you for further clarification.
e.g. colleague, friend,
Please tell us here if you have concerns about them working with children, but also comment on their reliability, energy and enthusiasm.
