Academic Integrity Policy
What our materials are for, how to use them properly, and the lines we do not cross.
We want to be straightforward about what we do. Academic support is a legitimate and long established part of higher education — universities themselves run writing centres, offer proofreading, and employ study skills tutors. What matters is the line between helping someone learn to produce good work and producing the work for them. This page sets out where we draw that line and why.
What our materials are for
Everything we produce is a learning aid. A model dissertation chapter shows you how a literature review builds an argument rather than listing sources. An edited draft shows you where your reasoning lost the reader. A worked data analysis shows you which test was appropriate and why, so you can defend it.
The value is in what you take from it, not in the file itself.
Using our work well
- Read for structure first. Notice how the argument is built before you look at the wording.
- Follow the sources. Our reference lists are a reading route into your topic — go to the originals.
- Write your own text. Understanding an argument and then expressing it yourself is where the learning happens.
- Cite us if you quote us. If you use our material directly, reference it like any other source, where your institution permits.
- Apply the feedback. With editing work, the notes matter more than the tracked changes.
What we will not do
These are absolute, and no fee changes them:
- We do not submit work to any institution on a student's behalf
- We do not log in to any student portal, VLE, or university account
- We do not sit or assist with examinations, timed assessments or online proctored tests
- We do not impersonate a student in any communication with an institution
- We do not complete work that a student presents as entirely their own where we have been told that is the intention
- We do not write reflective statements, personal testimonies or fitness-to-practise declarations that must be truthful accounts of your own experience
If an enquiry makes clear that the intention is to submit our work as the customer's own, we decline it. Where that becomes clear after an order is placed but before work has started, we cancel and refund in full.
The legal position in the UK
Under the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022, it is a criminal offence in England to provide, arrange or advertise contract cheating services for students at post-16 institutions — that is, completing all or part of an assignment for a student where the student will present it as their own work.
We operate as a study support service and structure our work accordingly. This is why our materials are supplied as reference and why the restrictions above are not negotiable.
Your institution's rules come first
Academic misconduct policies vary considerably between UK institutions, and between departments within them. Some permit third-party proofreading within defined limits; some require you to declare it; some prohibit it for particular assessments.
You are responsible for knowing your own institution's policy and complying with it. If you are unsure, ask your tutor, supervisor or academic integrity office before ordering. A short conversation beforehand is far better than a misconduct hearing afterwards.
Originality and AI
- Written to order. Every piece is produced for you specifically. Nothing is recycled from a previous customer or drawn from an essay bank.
- Never resold. Your materials are not sold on, published, or added to any database.
- Originality screened. Work is checked before delivery and the report is supplied with it.
- Human written. Our specialists write the work themselves. We check output with AI-detection tools before it reaches you.
Confidentiality
We never contact your institution, never disclose that you are a customer, and never publish your work. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your data.
Raising a concern
If you believe our materials have been misused, or you have a concern about how a request has been handled, contact us and we will investigate. We would always rather turn down work than put a student at risk of a misconduct finding.
Not sure whether we can help with something?
Ask before you order. Email hello@scholarysphere.help or call +44 7366 509269, describe the assessment, and we will tell you honestly what kind of support is appropriate — including when the answer is that you should go to your tutor instead.
