Reasonable Adjustments/Access Arrangements
Reasonable Adjustments – Knowledge
Qualifications
Reasonable adjustments are offered within the
scope of the Equality Act 2010. The Act defines someone with
disabilities as having “a mental or physical impairment which is
long-term and has a substantial adverse effect upon day-to-day
activities.” Disabilities considered for reasonable adjustments
include (but are not limited to): mobility issues; sensory
impairments; learning difficulties such as dyslexia, Asperger’s
syndrome and autism; long-term conditions such as multiple
sclerosis, MND, ME, cancer treatment. Indispositions
arising from pregnancy and maternity or temporary illness or
temporary injury are not considered under this policy but are
considered under the Access Arrangements policy.
Reasonable adjustments are intended to assist learners to
demonstrate their attainment without affecting or circumventing the
assessment requirements. They are agreed before an assessment. They
allow learners with disabilities to be fairly assessed. Reasonable
adjustments can be made for learners taking examinations or
assessments to alleviate or remove the effect of a disability which
places learners at a substantial disadvantage to enable them to
demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding to the levels
of attainment required by the specification for that unit.

Access Arrangements – Knowledge
Qualifications
Access arrangements are for learners who have
temporary injuries, temporary illness or other indisposition and/or
protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 which present
a barrier to accessing the examination/assessment. Learners (and
centres acting on a learner’s behalf) should first consider
postponing the examination/assessment to a later
examination/assessment session when issues arising from temporary
illness, temporary injury or indisposition and/or a protected
characteristic provide less of a barrier to taking the
examination/assessment.
Access arrangements are intended to assist
learners to demonstrate their attainment without affecting or
circumventing the assessment requirements. They are agreed before
an assessment.
