For any child needing access arrangements, applications for access arrangements will be processed online using Access Arrangements Online (AAO), in line with the UK GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018.

JCQ guideline also state “The importance of considering access arrangements that help prepare candidates for the demands of the workplace. While 25% extra time remains a common arrangement, it may not always be the most appropriate or transferable support. SENCos are encouraged to consider alternatives such as supervised rest break.  These options may better reflect real-world adjustments and promote long-term independence.”
