The last time i worked was Jan 2010, since then ive been a student, had my little boy and been left a single parent.
I want to start applying for jobs and get back into work but unsure what to do regarding referee's?

Depends on job! majority will accept character ones as well, I'm sure I've seen application forms understand about being in education with you listing last employer
2010 falls within the certain amount of years for record keeping so even if your last manager has moved on something could be on a HR file
The official hardened line is any employer is under no obligation to provide but it doesn't pay to worry until if you find yourself in this situation then, I honestly believe I've picked up plenty of jobs where references aren't the bee all and end all if checked at all - either direct or through an agency!
