Special consideration Guidance
Following discussion and consultation with the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual, we have updated our special consideration guidance for centres in England in line with changing UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) guidance on Covid.
This takes into account the challenges which school leaders and students have faced, and has been included to help support centres in their assessment of special consideration.
Should the UKHSA's guidance change, then we will further update the guidance and notify you. Additionally, JCQ remains in positive dialogue with the DfE and Ofqual to ensure centres are provided with the necessary information and support required for this summer's exam series.
The updated guidance can be found here: A guide to the special consideration process 2021 22 – General and Vocational qualifications Updated 8 April 2022
Any queries on the special consideration process should be raised with the awarding bodies' Customer Services Teams. Their contact details are included within the updated guidance.
