Contact for Civil Service reference

[Crazyprojectparent]

I left the Civil Service seven years ago but am in the process of applying for a job that requires references for the past ten years. Trouble is I can't find a contact email or postal address, and to be honest I'm not sure who I should be putting down anyway. My previous line manager has left that department so her email address is no longer working. I know they would only say the dates of my employment and my job title, but that would be enough. Anyone have any idea how to find a contact?

Thanks.

What department? There will be a general enquires number you can call and get the information from. You need the HR dept, civil service references are all done centrally these days.

Thanks! It was the Cabinet Office. I can't seem to find a general enquiries number but perhaps I am not searching for the right thing!

This is their recruitment portal contact us page - it has a number for the recruitment team, I'd start there!

Which department? At mine (Home Office) you’d need to contact the shared services department for a reference. You need to go central and not just via your previous manager if they have left
