Reference Check Policy Wording

I'm changing our policy for reference checks to say that only our designated represntative is authorized to give reference checks on behalf of the company. I'm really 2nd guessing everything I do lately so please let me know if this makes the point (please note this is just a partial paragraph and not the entire policy):
In the event that a reference check is sought from ICI relative to a former or current employee, our designated represntatives will respond in writing only to those reference check inquiries that are submitted in writing and include the former/current employee's authorization. Only our designated representatives will be authorized to give a reference check on behalf of the company.
Thanks again!
