Job reference

Hmkay, this is kinda urgent.

My mate has put me down as a reference for a job, i can't get hold of him right now, what sort of stuff will they ask me?

The job is in a care home for an old peoples home.
Thx

All you say is that he did indeed work under you in a care home for an old peoples home. Don't say anything else. You will be liable for slander, (found that out the hard way). If they ask you to elaborate on his work ethic or anything just say "no comment".
