:angry:
Back in Jan 2010 i started working voluntary at a school to get a feel with working with children. i am on incapacity long term benefit and a lone parent was told they dont expect me to work so i didnt need to. :eek:
i said i wanted to work and do something for a few extra pennies to take mine out. Lone parents agreed to pay childcare for my youngest to go to a child minder one day and a4e (action for employment) were recrutied to pay for the other day. this mainly was for me to get 6 months behind me in order for me to enrol on my nvq 3.
Did my 6 months and never heard from A4e at all, i then set up as a childminder paying for everything myself had no help at all. then in september A4e got intouch to see how things were and i told them what i had done and said i couldnt work yet until i could afford insurance. they said no problem we will pay for that so u can get sorted.:thumbsup:
Nothing mentioned about anything else apart from providing a receipt to show i had paid for this which i did. 4 wks later get a call saying they want a copy of my registration certificate and a copy of an invoice.
now you prob think whats wrong with that but they were going to use my paper work for another success story they helped set up in business. firstly i didnt want my registration number on show for obvious reason's secondly the invoice is private between parents and me and am sure comes under data protection and thirdly i am really :angry: cos they want to take all the credit for setting me up in business when infact they did not.
The manager phoned back after i refused to give it and said that i was being awkward and should provide it. and thats what i promised to do when i initially went to them. which is not true.
I agreed to photo copy my reg certificate leaving off any details under data protection and the same with the invoice, faxed it to him to which he rang and asked me to put on it how many hours child is coming my details etc etc. i refused and basically said i am providing u with a copy of an invoice issued minus child and parents name. how i set it out is my business and i was not providing an invoice which had not been issued and fake. "he then said that i should put how many hours down and it was good practice". this really annoyed me as i pout down the date and then the hours they attend with a fee. the reason i had to leave them off as the child in question is under protection order with SS so no details can be passed on.
He then had the cheek to tell me i was awkward and should calm down as it was only a job similar to a paper round ie pocket money:eek: :angry: i pout the phone down.
You could of pulled me off the ceiling. am still fuming now x
