Law Matters

References

Employers are free to seek out additional references beyond those supplied by the employee unless the employment contract expressly states that the only referees used will be those supplied by the employee, according to the EAT.

Furthermore the fact that the employer seeks additional references does not automatically imply a breach of trust.
