Although the JCQ document no longer contains information relating to access arrangements for Functional Skills, all general information relating to modified papers (as a reasonable adjustment) is still valid. Please see Chapter 6 of the JCQ Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments. The only exception for Functional Skills is the process of ordering modified papers.
Modified papers are available to order in the following formats:
- A4 modified 18 point bold
- A3 modified 24 point bold
- A4 modified 24 point bold
- A3 modified 36 point bold
- Braille papers (SEB and UEB) and tactile diagrams with Braille labels
- Non-interactive electronic (PDF) question paper
- Tactile diagrams with print labels
We do not provide any papers on coloured paper. You must provide these yourself. You no longer have to apply for an access arrangement to photocopy papers onto coloured paper. We recommend you request a PDF of the question paper so you can print directly from the electronic file. This improves print quality and reduces the risk of missing pages through photocopying.
