We make all the applications with the Awarding Bodies. Our CAST team assess the students, ensure the evidence is in place and send an internal form to our department, we then check the evidence and claim. We then record the access arrangement against the student on our system (NG) which means we can extract anything (data) we want.
We also took over the application process and running the exams for students with readers, room, time, scribe etc. because of problems prior to this and the lack of adhesion of regulations when out of our department. Our biggest problem is the amount of time its taking, we are constantly behind in checking the evidence, applying where applicable and recording on the system. We have about 800 students who have some kind of Access Arrangement.
