OP. Did they ask you anything about Gladiators?

If you posted this in the right section of the forums you would have seen a sticky titled 'Agencies demanding extra information: new reporting requirements' which would have answered your question.

But I can post what I like in General and expect serious responses.

In the FAQ/Welcome part of the forums where first posts tend to happen you'll find yet another sticky titled 'CUK Netiquette: A guide for newbies' which will give you some information about looking around the forums first to see if you question has been answered before

If they want references then anyone who has known you for a few years who isn't related to you and is in a decent sounding profession will do. Plus if you volunteer for anything the organiser would be a good reference.

If they insist they have to be former end-clients then ignore them.

Just been asked for this info for a new contract role:

1. Full Name
2. Address, Personal Email, Telephone Number,
3. Notice period
4. 3 references (won't be contacted without your permission to do so.
5. Right to work in U.K. - passport and national insurance number.
6. Date of Birth
7.scanned copy of passport

Kind of set alarm bells going for me. Whats the deal with NI/Passport information when working through your own Limited company?
