Copying another's work was and is deemed to be unprincipled and unethical in most academic circles.

But not in OFSTED it seems.

It would appear that templated reports are being produced by that body that undermine the efficacy of the content of reports produced for schools. Very specifically the adjudication made by inspectors and moderators in their conclusions in the reports about schools' performance is made questionable by this practice. Particularly when it is alleged that the final arbiter in the writing and approval of the report may never have even have visited the establishment.

But not six-of-the-best and detention all round for OFSTED - no - do not worry parents and staff, we are assured, it was not us what wrote the report but our sub-contractor and it is all their fault.

Is this the tip of a very flawed iceberg ?
