We have such a student that is more than happy to be with everyone else but he doesn’t sit still and makes strange sounds, the rest of the students are happier and less distracted when he is roomed separately, that is with his own invigilator. We have to be fair to all students.

 

 

 

I need some advice on housing a candidate separately please.

 

We have an Autistic learner sitting GCSE Maths with us and the main course tutor has asked he be on his own for the next exams in the summer in case he talks quietly to himself.  Should I sit him by himself just in case?

 

There’s not much JCQ guidance on this but I’m not sure how it fits in with the Equality Act if we segregate him because of his disorder when he doesn’t need this for himself.

 

Thanks

Lynne
