Addressing Plagiarism
Where plagiarism is identified for the first time, consideration should be made as to whether it was intentional. In the instance plagiarism may have been accidental (i.e., referencing was not completed) this should be addressed immediately with the learner and the Lead IQA must be informed. The opportunity for resubmission and re-assessment in line with course guidelines should be given on this occasion. Where plagiarism is clear (i.e., word for word, or with one or two words/phrases/the formatting changed and deemed to have been copied) either from material published in the public domain, fellow learners, or by using AI, the learner work will be void for assessment. Such incidents must be followed up in line with the Disciplinary Policy. In this instance, the relevant Awarding Organisation’s plagiarism policy must be consulted, and their process followed.
