You should reference using the Harvard referencing style and include a full reference list at the end of your work. It is not necessary to include a bibliography.

Please remember that a smaller number of well made, thoroughly evaluated critical arguments will attract a higher grade than numerous shallow and descriptive points.
You must refer to appropriate academic literature sources, books and journal articles to support your writing. DO NOT RELY ON WEBSITES. Everything must be fully referenced using the Harvard Referencing system and listed in the reference section of your report.
