Information on Postal Strike for Thurs 12th/Fri 13th July Friday 29 June 2007

Details of all of these can be found in the CD of instructions and forms issued to Examiners and Moderators. Should anyone require advice in using these alternative means, please call the OCR Customer Contact Centre on 01223 553998 or by email on general.qualifications@ocr.org.uk.
