In submitting the assignment Learner’s must complete a statement of authenticity confirming
that the work submitted for all tasks is their own. The statement should also include the word
count.
UKPDA recommends the following to check plagiarism/similarity.
https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism-checker
https://www.scanmyessay.com
Learners are required to attach the similarity report in submission slot or email to tutor.
Plagiarism and collusion are treated very seriously. Plagiarism involves presenting work, excerpts,
ideas or passages of another author without appropriate referencing and attribution.
Collusion occurs when two or more learners submit work which is so alike in ideas, content,
wording and/or structure that the similarity goes beyond what might have been mere
coincidence

Referencing
A professional approach to work is expected from all learners. Learners must therefore identify
and acknowledge ALL sources/methodologies/applications used.
The learner must use Harvard Referencing system to achieve this. Marks are not awarded for the
use of English; however, the learner must express ideas clearly and ensure that appropriate
terminology is used to convey accuracy in meaning.
