This highly offensive language was used both about and to learners, and promoted an unfounded belief that children and young people who experienced mental illness, or learning difficulties, were less intelligent than others.

Using Turnitin effectively: building integrity into your writing

...Research also shows that when Turnitin is used as a developmental tool, your perceptions shift: you can use it as a learning tool rather than simply a plagiarism detector (Oldham, 2025).
