Teaching fellowships highlight the value of professional services staff

This makes no sense: the HE fellowship is supposed to be certification that you have training and experience to teach. If the argument is that it's useful only to people who had previously been " sat here doing nothing" it's not exactly a ringing endorsement. We're fighting for every single pound for research, PhD scholarships, even offices. Maybe let's fix that before we hire people that need to learn a list of pointless jargon in order to get like "educators".

The quote is actually: “I am making some kind of impact. I’m NOT just sat here doing nothing.” (my emphasis). The point of this article is that accreditation can help those who are teaching but not in formal academic roles recognise that their teaching is of equal value to that of lecturers
