What can I do if my student can’t do the presentations/role plays required for some of the criteria?

If you have a student who has a specific need or condition that means that they may not be able to meet the assessment criteria for certain elements of the assessment, you can make reasonable adjustments for them according to their individual circumstances and any existing adjustments or access arrangements you have in place for them for classroom learning and assessments. Our aim would always be to support students to access the assessment criteria as best as they can. 

You can find more information about adjustments for candidates with disabilities and learning difficulties on the JCQ access arrangements document.

If you would like to discuss the best way to support students in specific tasks, based on their specific circumstances or need, please contact us at support@ocr.org.uk, and a member of our Subject or Special Requirements team would be happy to discuss individual cases with you.
