Get assessed and chided (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

berated

'chided' is the definition.
('berate' can be a synonym of 'chide')

'get assessed' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'be' ('get' can mean 'come to be').
'assessed' becomes 'rated' (rating is a kind of assessing).
'be'+'rated'='BERATED'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for berated that I've seen before include "Scolded" , "Dressed down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
