I'm not sure, Tanith, but I'm getting myself into a bit of a state about it all!
I think I've lost confidence: can't seem to make a decision.
I did sign a lot of paperwork whilst at the agency, but haven't committed to any of the training or anything.

Unless you have signed a contract (you may be bound by conditions) then just tell them you've changed your mind. How would they be any the wiser?

I'm hoping someone can give me advice, please
Having cared for my late mum, I'm now going to go back into the job market
I contacted my last boss, as I needed to ask if she would be happy to give me a reference, and she immediately offered me my job back! (subject to a lengthy period of criminal checks, and the whole interview process again!)
Anyway, the point is that just the day before, I had been to an agency and signed up for care work.
I'm now concerned that my old company will have to 'buy' me from the agency.
Can I get out of taking the agency process any further? I need to attend training, etc before I am able to work, and obviously haven't done any of it yet
Is it ok, do you think, to phone the agency and ask them to cancel the process?
Thanks ladies.
