Rest Breaks & Marking

Can anyone advise me on rest breaks in examinations.  If a student is recommended extra time in exams and rest breaks, should the rest breaks be in addition to the extra time or inclusive?  If it is in addition, is extra time added at the end or does the exam stop and resume?

I know there was a request last week about the marking of assessments/examinations for dyslexic students but as yet I don't think there has been a reply.  If anyone has any information and can offer guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.  We have a number of courses, i.e. Journalism, English and creative writing that assess spelling, grammar and punctuation as a learning module outcome and I am being asked what is best practice in dealing with this situation and in line with SENDA

Any help with these queries would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

With best wishes
