An exam access arrangement assessment helps determine if a candidate qualifies for reasonable adjustments during exams, such as extra time and a scribe.
Access Arrangements allow candidates/learners with special educational needs, disabilities or temporary injuries to access the assessment without changing the demands of the assessment. For example, readers, scribes and Braille question papers. In this way Awarding Bodies will comply with the duty of the Equality Act 2010 to make ‘reasonable adjustments’.
A wide range of tests will be used to determine the candidate’s needs, these can include areas of cognitive processing, writing speed, reading comprehension, vocabulary and spelling levels.
The testing will be completed by a qualified assessor who undergoes yearly training to stay fully up to date with the new Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) regulations. Evidence will be provided.
