Reasonable Adjustments
CILEx recognises that there are some
students who have coped with the learning demands of an CILEx
course, but for whom the standard arrangements for the assessment
may present an unnecessary barrier. This barrier could be removed
without affecting the validity of the assessment. To meet the needs
of these students, CILEx has in place a Reasonable Adjustments
policy.
A reasonable adjustment is any action that
helps to reduce the effect of a disability or difficulty that
places the candidate at a substantial disadvantage in the
assessment situation.
Reasonable adjustments must not affect the
integrity of what needs to be assessed, but may involve and not be
limited to:
- changing standard assessment arrangements,
for example, allowing students extra time to complete the
assessment activity;
- adapting assessment materials, such as
providing materials in Braille;
- providing access facilitators during
assessment, such as a reader.
- Students must apply for reasonable
adjustments for each examination/assessment at which they are
taking examinations/assessments. Adjustments agreed for one
examination/assessment session are not automatically carried
forward to the next examination/assessment.
Full details about the Reasonable Adjustment policy can be found

Candidates: Reasonable Adjustments and Special
Consideration
