whatever way you leave he is not allowed to give you a bad referance! our emploment law only allow good referances on none at all! I your position
I'd find a new position before leaving , then hand in request for leave of absense for personal reaons (prod with your lass / family etc . once
on this leave send your notice bye post! I've done this before !

Yeah but business is wise to the "no bad reference" hence you either write glowing references, a standard reference with "would
re-employ" or a standard (aka factual) reference with "wouldn't re-employ".
Everything above board, next employer knows all they need to with the "would / wouldn't re-employ"

One word of warning though... future employers can be put off when they see 'points of principal' resignations on a CV.
Are you a man of principals or are you a man of principles ? They might be wary of that even more so 
Try this quiz.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Most companies, certainly ones with legal departments won't allow glowing references anymore either - which is why so many just give employed
between date and date, salary at end £xxxx.
Reasons as I understand it being:
If you write one guy a glowing reference and another the minimum facts the 2nd guy can sue for the same reasons as giving a bad reference as
it's been implied, it's a libel/defamation issue.
Secondly, and possibly worse, if you write a glowing ref for someone who turns out to be incapable of the new job the other company can sue you.
The whole thing's a bit sad as so long as you are completely factual you have a defense good or bad, but going through the court system means
£10,000+ in legal costs even if you win so it's not worth the hassle, aggravation and possible bad press.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
