Hi Elaine
We had that problem for years. Frantic phone calls to invigilators would normally follow. Now I have set tight deadlines. For the summer exams it is 4 March (and 31 March for 25% extra time only). Students who miss assessment appointments and are tested at a later date are told that the arrangements will not be in place for that series. Works very well.
Have not had any angry parents. SMT and SENCO support me in this.

We're the same as Mandy - we submit application for permission to
implement arrangements on receipt of a needs assessment report. We have
a nightmare getting these reports through really late, though. There's
certainly no way we are able to stick to the standard JCQ-published
deadlines for certain arrangements. Very many reports and applications
are dealt with on an ad-hoc basis in light of some learners failing to
show for their appointment to be assessed.

At our College it is the responsibility of the Exams team, although this
is only done once we receive the Student Assessment report.

Subject: Access Arrangments Applications
Hi
I would really like to gather the general working practise regarding the
administravive workload for Access Arrangments. Does your
SENCOs/Learning Support department process your Access Applications
(online and postal) or is it soley the responsibility of your Exam
Office team?
Look forward to reading your responses.
Elaine
