I can't really do this without explaining myself and being a open forum i risk more sanctions.  

What's done is done. Your employer shouldn't give you a bad reference. 

If it’s factually accurate then why not? 

Leaves the employer open potentiallly to being sued for negligent misstatement. Better to simply not to respond to the request. If the reference would be negative.

I disagree. Factually accurate and negligent misstatement are a contradiction in terms. If (for example) an employee can be evidenced on a clocking in system to be late every day then it would be perfectly acceptable to say so. And a valid point to put down on a reference if asked about punctuality. If the employee doesn’t want a negative reference then they should make the effort to get their !!!!!! in gear and turn up to work on time.

Yes but there is also a requirement that a reference is not deliberately misleading.

It is possible to mislead (deliberately or otherwise) without saying anything untrue. For example, suppose a business had received just one (unfounded) complaint from a customer about this member of staff and none about any other, it would be completely true to say "more customers have complained about this employee than all others put together"! However that would give a totally misleading impression and could be actionable!
