Temping is a totally different situation to a trainee / probationary period. With the latter you have a permanent employment contract, but with fewer limitations on the reasons you can be let go, i.e. you can be found to just not be capable of carrying out the role. Once you're "signed off" as no longer a trainee the employer is basically saying that they acknowledge your general competence in the role, and therefore they need a "good reason" to terminate your employment.
However NM is entirely right that if a company wants you gone they will find a bull**** "good reason", or more often, just make the job so unpleasant that people quit before they're fired. They call it "managing people out of the company" and it's sadly the most common way of "firing" staff - if the staff member quits, the company has no liability at all.
