The clearance email says:

"Starting with the most recent, your references should cover at least the last 2 years of employment or education/training.

Your referees should be your line manager or HR department. If you have any gaps in your employment, you can include a character reference for that period.

Emails should be valid work emails and not personal email, unless it is a character reference."

I can give my last manager - however, like me, he was also laid off so is not at the company were both employed by. Should I get him to use his _current_ work address?

I'm putting together a portfolio which is an issue as lots of my writing has been under NDA. Some writing which _wasn't_ under NDA is on a company's public doc portal, where the source material is public on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license. Does anyone think it wouldn't be right to share with a suitable disclaimer?
