Yes, we had a two day INSET from a RWI trainer.
From my training, 'red words are red until some of them are made green', which comes from stage 3 of the RWI programme- the level 2a/3c group.
In my previous school, a lot of my year 4 children were still below 3c in reading, and so we taught/ bought RWI. Thankfully, in my new school, most of my year 3 children are burgundy or above, so we haven't needed any whole school interventions. My lowest are greens, and for them upwards we still use ORT and we seem pretty happy with that approach.
My uni was very anti the Rose report, and one of our assignments was to do a presentation about how poor the data were, and why the whole lot of it should be taken with a pinch of salt. Not very neutral, I know, but tbh if you look at the sample size and the ethnocentric methods used by Rose, then the fact that the government (and yes, I am aware both NLS and NF are Labour) changed the teaching of reading based on THAT research to reflect only one of the four teaching styles that had previously been used.
If you want to slate current teacher training organisations or me personally, then fine- maybe me/ my school/ borough don't work the same way as yours, but perhaps that doesn't make it any less valid, or my opinion any less worthy of point or open to ridicule and teasing, which is how the comments have come across.
The internet might well be a way for random people to talk and discuss with a certain level of anonymity, but the recipients still are real people on the receiving end.
