The are seven types of References in POBITS:
| 1. | Parents (includes all types of parental relationships) |
| 2. | Siblings (includes all type of sibling relationships) |
| 3. | Children (includes all types of child relationships) |
| 4. | Personal References (all type of personal and professional relationships) |
| 5. | Secondary References (persons you encounter in your investigation that were not offered by the candidate) |
The first five are all personal references and will complete the same questionnaire. Landlords and Employers each have a specific questionnaire suitable for their relationship to the Candidate. But collectively these individuals are all References and are referred to as such throughout POBITS.
All of these persons (of majority age) are able to use POBITS to complete a standard questionnaire suitable for their relationship to the Candidate. Alternatively, the Investigator can create and complete a questionnaire for the individual on the basis of their contact with the Reference.
