Unit 2: Protecting Children in Early Education and Care Environments

Plagiarism Policy

The submission of work that borrows ideas, words, diagrams, or anything else from another source (or sources), without appropriate acknowledgment, constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is not limited to unattributed cutting-and- pasting; it includes the reproduction, without acknowledgment, of someone else’s work, taken from a published (or unpublished) article, a book, a website, a friend’s (or anybody else’s) assignment, or any other source. When an assignment or report uses information from other sources, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how s/he has used them. If someone else’s words are used, they must be within quotation marks and a reference must follow the quotation. Failing to do so leads to academic misconduct. Academic misconduct is defined as any type of cheating in an assessment for the purposes of achieving personal gain. When it is determined that academic misconduct has taken place, a range of penalties may be prescribed which includes expulsion from the programme.
