Michelle, ring Home Office/JobCentre.

They cannot tell you when they entered the country but if you indicate the timeframe they can confirm by yes or no.

Just one more question on this - how do you obtain evidence that they have been in the country less than 2 years?

I have met with the students, one Romanian and one Lithuanian who both state they have no entry papers?!?

Sorry this is the first time this has arisen here....hopefully some larger FE's have the answer?!?!

Thanks again

Hi Michelle

We use the attached form to gather evidence and we only allow 10% extra time for the use of the dictionary, if they feel they need more than 10% they have to go through our ALS department for further evidence.

Kind regards

Hi all

I'm after some advice and guidance - it looks like I may have a couple of students who have been in the country less than two years, use a bilingual dictionary in class etc and will also be requesting extra time..

I've been through the JCQ guidance and wondered how do you evidence this especially for extra time I'm thinking parents level of English?!? They are being 'prepared' for qualifications in English but using dictionaries and extra time..?!?

But where has the tutor been until now - telling us this!?!?

Help please?!?

Thanks

Michelle
