Katy ,
I cannot be helpful on this but would like to know of anything you find
out as we do not have clarification on what different examination
arrangements would be considered resasonable adjustments whilst
maintaining academic standards. My next step is to find the person at
the Law Society who can offer guidance.

Does anyone have any information/guidelines on the general principles of
offering a student a Viva as an alternative to special exam
arrangements? We have a Law student who has major difficulties doing
exams even with special exam arrangements in place and so are looking at
this as an alternative. However, there is concern that academic
standards are maintained.
I would be grateful if anyone has any guidelines they can share.
Many Thanks
Katy
