Hi All
An ex-employee has contacted the Council for a copy of a reference which was
given to a prospective employer. I believe the ex-employee did not get the
job and wishes to obtain a copy of the reference the Council gave to that
prospective employer as the ex-employee believes that the reference caused
the ex-employee not to get the job.
Are we as the provider of the reference obliged to give that person a copy
of the reference or should the ex-employee write to the prospective employer
who in turn would have to ask the Council for permission to disclose the
reference but of course the prospective employer did not actually employ the
ex-employee so may not have kept a copy of the reference.
Sorry - it seems a very long saga but any contributions would be gratefully
accepted.
