Answer
Alternative site arrangements for sitting exams, including home invigilation, can be put in place as an access arrangement if, in exceptional circumstances, it is required to enable a candidate to access exams and assessments.
As in any year, there is no way of knowing in advance of the exam season how many candidates will need access arrangements.
As the use of alternative site provision is a decision for centres based on the needs of individual candidates and for which centres do not need exam board approval, data on this arrangement is not published in Ofqual’s annual statistics on access arrangements.
