Same References for family when applying BC?

Me, my wife and daughter want to apply for BC soon.
Does it hurt to use the same two reference for the same family. Home office wouldn't reject right?
Also
Is a dentist /NHS health visitor/driving instructor suitable to act as a reference?
Thanks for any info!

You can use the same references for you, your wife and child so long as the references meet the criteria as set out in the Guidance (see section 5)
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... ide_an.pdf
The acceptable professions are
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary. A dentist, driving instructor (approved) and Nurse (RN, SEN or holder of a BA in nursing) can be used.
One reference must be on the professions list but can be of any nationality. The other reference must be a British citizen passport holder (i.e. must have a British passport) but need not be a professional so long as they are over the age of 25.
