Cross reference in ET1 form

Hope you all have a wonderful boxing day. I have a question of setting out the background and details of my claim in Section 8.2 of the ET1 form. 
When I put down a list of chronological narrative events in this section, do I have to cross-reference them with relevant documents. In other words, if I put down the following: 
XX/XX/2020---Blah, Blah,....[doc1.pdf].
Doc1 is an actual email sent by the respondent and an actual workload policy. When I fill the online ET1 form in the first place, do I have to provide a set of documents of evidence, like Doc1? If so, how should I do it? if not, it is good enough, I place the event with a clear date provided. Is it true that I don't have to provide a set of documents of evidence until I write my witness statement? 
How does the judge know what I provided is correct?

    There is a great deal of helpful information aimed at the general public on Strathclyde's Legal Clinic website: https://www.lawclinic.org.uk/employment-law-resources

    Be aware that this is Scottish law, but much of it is equally applicable in terms of England & Wales, especially the help in completing an ET1: https://www.lawclinic.org.uk/wpstrath/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/10D-How-to-write-paper-apart.pdf
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!  
  • No, you should not be cross-referencing everything.

    You can refer to key documents if necessary to set out your case, but you should not be trying to trying to evidence everything at this stage.

    Exchange of evidence comes later in the process. The time to cross-reference documents is in your witness statement, which comes later in the process.

    From the evidence you provide or, if no hard evidence is available, by deciding how compelling your case is, not least in terms of how you as an individual come across in terms of veracity.
