Needless to say i did not accept this family into care.
Maybe its a good idea to ask the references what is an acceptable time to be called and add this in BOLD to the list we give out. If I was a reference for someone and was called at that time, I'd be pissed. It isn't the providers fault but I just wouldn't want to be a reference anymore if it meant the possibility of some moron calling at that time. How rude, and seriously were they never taught any manners?
