Webinar: What's new in Access Arrangements: Extra time, transitional agreements and more

Webinar to explore this year's changes, for those who currently carry out access arrangements. The main focus, naturally, will be on the altered evidence requirements for extra time: what the regulations state, the most useful tests to administer in order to gain the formal evidence needed, and the evidence that can be compiled by schools. It will also cover the transitional agreements for pupils who have already had access arrangements earlier in their careers.

Note: This session presupposes basic familiarity with Access Arrangements.

Please send in your specific concerns and questions in advance, so that there is maximum opportunity to cover what you most need. 

The webinar will be led by Dineke Austin, Lead Tutor for Dyslexia Action's EAA Access Arrangements course, an ex examinations officer, and specialist teacher assessor carrying out access arrangement assessments herself.
