If a candidate can’t complete practical activities because they are already injured or have long-term sickness, they cannot be awarded marks for this part, although it may be possible to grant an exemption from the practical assessment for disabled students or those with long-term injuries. Please refer to Chapter 5.17 of the JCQ publication Access arrangements and reasonable adjustments for further details, and contact the Special Requirements Team at srteam@ocr.org.uk if you have any additional queries.
If a candidate is injured after you have completed all their assessments, but they are unable to attend moderation, please submit their marks as normal. The moderator may ask for medical evidence, and you will be asked to provide a replacement candidate on the day of moderation.
In both instances, you do not need to submit an application for special consideration.
