Normally child carers will not be having an automatic right for gaining access to references that were supplied by previous employers, as per the information commissioner, who said that childcare was a sensitive area and that each case would be taken on its merits in the future. And when an unnamed nursery nurse asked to see a reference under the Data Protection Act after failing to secure a job through Tinies last year, the difference of opinion started. The director of Tinies named Ben Black said that he was disappointed with the final judgment in the individual case, but was pleased that there was still some scope to withhold references. He added, Nursery managers - and in the case of nannies, parents - would think it was not worth the recriminations with a former employee if they gave them a poor reference that they might deserve. We have also steer clear of the blanket policy via fighting this case.
