I have received some phone calls from people claiming that they have had missed calls from my number. However I don’t know these people and I haven’t called them from my phone. There is also no outgoing calls to these numbers on my phone. 
When I looked up how this might have happened mobile number cloning was the first subject that came up. 

Can anyone from EE shed any light on this as I want to make sure I’m secure and my details are safe.

For everyone's info, it is trivially easy for any VOIP system (ie the vast majority of phone systems out there now) to use whatever outgoing callerID they choose. On self-managed systems there are no controls over what gets used. Hosted VOIP will generally require proof of ownership, or at least they should.
