Hi all thanks for your advice so far! We do have lots of support from SLT and we have cancelled classes and used classrooms in the past, in addition to a large sports hall and other large spaces (this year we are also hiring off-site accommodation) however it's the volume of access arrangements which is posing the biggest challenge!
We do have some students using screen readers, however this poses additional issues as they need to use a PC and we do have problems with it crashing from time to time! We will be seeking advice from Learning Support and lecturers as to which students can go in a small rather than separate room, and those who can share readers who we're not currently aware of.
We have a large bank of external invigilators, and we also train up and use as many college staff as possible.
Chris I won't be at the conference, but it would be really helpful if you could feed back responses regarding access arrangements, would that be possible (or someone else who'll be at the conference!)
