My son is doing his GCSEs this year. Could you please advise where I can find guidance on exam time allowances and rules? He tends to have Hypos toward the end of the exam and so to miss last questions. Thank you.

Exam access arrangements should include:
- Being allowed to take drinks and snacks into an exam to prevent or treat a hypo or hyper.
- Being allowed to bring in their blood sugar monitor and insulin treatment into an exam.
- Taking a supervised rest break to treat a hypo or hyper. Supervised rest breaks are where the clock is paused while a student treats themselves. The clock restarts when they’ve recovered.
