A client may be referred to other services by a FCS provider, which are grouped into 14 categories in the DEX_Ref_Referral_to table. Each category is a binary code (i.e. 1 or 0) to indicate whether the respective reason(s) are referred. The ReferralToKey is an integer that shows the different combination of the 14 categories in the table. For example, ReferralToKey of 2 means clients' are referred due to Employment reasons as there is 1 against Employment category. ReferralToKey of 6 means clients' are referred due to Employment and Caring reasons as there is a 1 against Employment and Caring category.

When joined to REFERRALTOEXTERNALKEY, the categories are the reasons clients' are referred to other services externally. When joined to REFERRALTOINTERNALKEY, the categories are the reasons clients' are referred to other services internally.
