Advice Needed on Job Offer & Job Turn Down

Hi all,
My partner was offered an interview for a job she had applied for online at a well known company in the local area. They offered her an interview which went well and was told they would contact her the day after to say if she has got it or not. The store manager phoned back the day after to say she had been successful and they was offering her the job but with working hours as when required but said they should be able to offer more than 10hrs a week.
She then was told to attend an induction at another store to be measured up for the uniform etc and was given a welcome pack and passed an health and saftey test fine and was told she would be contacted by the store manager to arrange what hours etc to work
She then received a phone call the other day to say that 1 of the 2 ref she had put down they was not able to use as the ref is from a volunteer job that she has only been doing for 3 weeks. The other ref came back fine from one of her old work place so they had to contact another workplace she was at when she was ill for 12 months and they said how much time she had off which was 12 months.
As they said she was out of work for 12 months that they cannot now offer her work due to the time she had off when she was ill even that another work place gave her a good ref and the volunteer place gave a good ref even that she has been there for 3 weeks.
Is there anything that she can do regarding the above as its not nice to be offered a job etc and to go though all that to be told you cant work when she is willing to work etc.
Cheers
