client’s personal case details in a health or social care context, every

reasonable effort must be made to ensure the data, is appropriately

anonymised.

Plagiarism

What is it?

“In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses

someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge)

material without acknowledging its source”

(Council of Writing Program Administrators, 2014).

Turnitin is a service that helps lecturers and students check if a piece of work

contains sections that are identical to work submitted or published elsewhere. It

is very important that you review the originality report for drafts of your work

carefully prior to your submission deadline to ensure accuracy in your use and

referencing of sources and to avoid an allegation of plagiarism.
