The report writer often gets paid more than the public defense lawyer, a lot of them copy & paste (with a few very minor tweaks) the same report over and over and can pretty much write one up without having to really having to talk to the dependent. It's just a box ticking excercise with no valid purpose or proper oversight.
Which is completely against the principle of cultural reports; C & P isn't what's needed & those doing so must be aware that what they're doing is not just wrong but is damaging, both to the people who could have been helped & the principle of cultural reports.
If I was your defence lawyer mate, I'd be inclined to report the practice since its undermining the good which could otherwise be done.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
