not sure on the job offer thing? but i do feel that if it is in writing they cannot go back on it? unless there has been gross misconduct.
i was allowed to be in charge when training for my level 3, as the old manager left and there was noone else. ofsted agreed it was ok.
i think it is still half the staff, but might have changed to 75% thought they were talking about it, we are soooo lucky have got 100% at level 3 (just).

arent kitchens great things for gossip!!
