The Equality Act 2010 requires Awarding Organisations, either directly or through their approved centres, to make Reasonable Adjustments to qualification delivery and assessment for a learner with a disability (as defined by the Equality Act). This is to ensure that a learner with a difficulty or disability is able to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and skills at the level of attainment required by the qualification they are studying. In simple terms, Reasonable Adjustments are designed to provide a level playing field for all learners ensuring that no learner is unfairly disadvantaged, or advantaged.
This form is used by UAL Approved Centres to submit an application for Reasonable Adjustments on behalf of an eligible learner. One application per learner is required. Before submitting an application, you must have read and understood the UAL Reasonable Adjustments Policy.
Please note, a centre is not required to submit a Reasonable Adjustments application for an internally assessed qualification, qualifications that are assessed by UAL Approved Centres and subject to external moderation by UAL Awarding Body unless, you are submitting a request for additional qualification time.
The deadlines to submit an application for Reasonable Adjustments for externally assessed qualifications are as per below:
28 August 2025 – Adaptations to assessment paper (Externally Assessed Only)
19 September 2025 – All other access arrangements (Externally assessed Only)
