Why can’t I send a SMS to a referee?

While it is common practice to contact referees to discuss references for prospective volunteers, it is not always the case that those referees would have been given prior warning that they may be contacted for this purpose.

In the event that, for example, an applicant inputted the incorrect mobile number of one of their referees, sending text messages to referees (who are third parties to the applicants) could potentially give rise to inadvertent disclosures of personal data.

To avoid such a situation, Complyfile does not have the ability to allow you to communicate with an applicant's referee by SMS.
