A Reasonable Adjustment is defined as: ‘an adjustment made to an assessment for a qualification so as to enable a disabled candidate to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding to the levels of attainment required by the specification for that qualification’ (source: Ofqual, General Conditions of Recognition).
Reasonable Adjustments are changes or adaptations made to an assessment or to the way an assessment is conducted to reduce or remove a disadvantage, or a barrier caused by a candidate’s disability.
The ISTD’s policy aims to address a wide range of disabilities and learning needs that may become a barrier for accessing examinations and assessments.
For more information on the Reasonable Adjustments policy and how to apply please visit the Quality Assurance section of the ISTD website here.
