Isn't this a knotty question?
Claire's response is a good indication of some of the potential
difficulties in charging psychologists and assessors for the use of
rooms!
Firstly there may be a competition law objection to charging an
external assessor and thus unfairly favouring your internal provision.
Secondly there are advantages to supporting the provision of services
for your students - not least of which is the possibility of having
some input to the assessment process and outcome - even if only by
way of information flow and goodwill!
