Exams can be a major source of stress for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) - but the right adjustments can make a world of difference.
In this informative and practical webinar, our experienced Sunshine Support Consultants will guide you through the process of understanding, requesting, and implementing exam access arrangements to ensure every learner has a fair opportunity to succeed.
Designed for parents, carers, and professionals, this session will give you the tools to advocate effectively and understand what support is available - from extra time to rest breaks, readers, scribes, and even support animals.
We'll cover:
- The legal framework and guidance schools should follow
- How to request and evidence the need for support
- Common myths and barriers - and how to overcome them
- What access arrangements can look like
