Been with one of my workplaces for coming up to 3 years. It's working supply in schools. I gave two references all that time ago and I've been working all this time. Yet today I get told that they can't contact these past references and that this is a real concern. This leads me to believe they were never checked in the first place.
They said they need the two most recent work references but 1. My old workplace where I was at for fifteen years has closed down and been demolished just last month as it happens and 2. My old after school 'mum boss' who I worked for after that has passed away.
I'm worried that they will stop me working if I can't find anyone suitable.
