Hi Duncan
The reason is that when little Johnny or Jane get their A-level results and parents hear that they did not have their overlay, word processor, extra time etc etc then it is our fault that they did not get the A* they deserved, needed, wanted.
Last year I had a parent who thanked me in June for all the arrangements I had put into place only to be told in August it was not sufficient and would we please pay for re-sits. Eh, no ....
Kind regards

Hi All
I have a lot of respect for you all but have to admit that I am completely confused why you might need/want to have this form?
If a student genuinely needs an access arrangement and it is their normal way of working, why would they refuse it in the exam? Surely the student would keep the arrangement but just not use it, eg a lot of students don't use their full time anyway and those with readers don't always use them for every word on the paper.
If I was such a student and was being awkward and deliberately not using the arrangement I think that I would also be sufficiently awkward to not sign the form .......
A very confused EO (it is Funky Skills season here)

Hi,
Just in need of a little guidance - do any of you use a sign off sheet for learners who refuse their access arrangements and if so would you be willing to share this with me? Is this best practice -help please?
Many thanks in advance! J
