No. There is no duty on awarding bodies to change the assessment criteria or assessment requirements. However, we can make adaptation to the assessment process and syllabus content to alleviate a barrier caused by disability to let the candidate demonstrate what they know and can do. The candidate will then be marked against the assessment criteria same as everybody else. If the candidate’s disability is so severe it makes it unlikely for them to meet the compulsory components of an examination, the teacher may recommend Certificate of Participation in the application for reasonable adjustment.
