The ABS light/lamp on my VW Passat stays on permanently, without switching off.?

Since my car (VW Passat 2.0 1999) went in for a service a few days ago, the ABS light stays on permanently. Normally, if the fault has been resolved, the light should go off on driving a short distance. This has not worked. Took it back to the guy who did the service - he says it will go out and if it doesn't, he can reset it electronically. Should I be worried about the brakes needing a lot more effort to work (on applying the brakes, it feels like the car takes a long time to slow down, but it could just be because I had been driving with a worn clutch which was also replaced during the service). What I want to know, is my car safe to drive? Is there any chance that there is something lacking/wrong in the braking system e.g. brake fluid, brake pads, ABS? Thank you in advance!
