models, theoretical perspectives and other evidence (for example, principles of empowerment)

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
We take academic integrity very seriously. Academic integrity means acting with fairness and
honesty, giving credit to others where you are referring to their ideas or research and respecting
the work of others. Plagiarism is defined as: ‘Using or copying the work of others (whether
written, printed or in any other form) without proper acknowledgement’. Before you finalize your
assignment take time to check that all your statements are backed up with supporting evidence,
that all sources you use – whether referring to their ideas, quoting directly or paraphrasing – are
correctly referenced in the text. Correct use of referencing acknowledges the academic whose
work has informed yours, enables the reader to find the sources you have used and demonstrates
your ability to find and analyses relevant information.
Failure to properly acknowledge the work of others is an academic offence and may result in
your work incurring a penalty or, in the most serious cases, you being removed from the course
for academic dishonesty.
If you are unsure about referencing or plagiarism, there are useful resources available in the
Study Skills Hub which is accessible from the menu on the left hand side. If you are still
experiencing difficulties with academic integrity, then you can for individualized support.
