required present any possible difficulty to any students, whatever their ethnic background, religion, sex, age, disability or sexuality Tests of specific competences were only included if they were important to the subject R AF As members of the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) we participate in the production of the JCQ document Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments: General and Vocational qualifications We follow these guidelines when assessing the needs of individual students who may require an access arrangement or reasonable adjustment This document is published at jcq.org.uk 5.6.1 Students with disabilities and special needs We're required by the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments to remove or lessen any disadvantage that affects a disabled student We can make arrangements for disabled students and students with special needs to help them access the assessments, as long as the competences being tested aren't changed Access arrangements must be agreed before the assessment For example, a Braille paper would be a reasonable adjustment for a Braille reader To arrange access arrangements or reasonable adjustments, you can apply using the online service at aqa.org.uk/eaqa 5.6.2 Special consideration We can give special consideration to students who have been disadvantaged at the time of the assessment through no fault of their own – for example a temporary illness, injury or serious problem such as family bereavement We can only this after the assessment D Your exams officer should apply online for special consideration at aqa.org.uk/eaqa For more information and advice visit aqa.org.uk/access or email accessarrangementsqueries@aqa.org.uk 5.7 Working with AQA for the first time If your school or college hasn't
