Talk to Patoss?  What about?  They have nothing to do with exam regs as far
as I am aware.  Or are you looking for someone to act as the reader?  You
aren't allowed to have the subject teacher of the child acting as reader and
we also don't allow the LSA who usually works with that child in that
subject area either.  Hopefully the exam board clarified this all for you.
Just intrigued about what the Patoss input is supposed to be?

The following is from the JCQ regs:
<<A reader is a responsible adult who reads the questions to the candidate.
This may involve reading the whole paper to the candidate or the
candidate may request only some words to be read.>>

<<The reader should not normally be the candidate's own subject teacher.
On no account may a relative, friend or peer of the candidate be used as a
reader.>>

Many thanks -
Just given them a call - was going to!
Had a nice wee chat and then they recommend I talk to PATOSS - fair
enough.

I know that the exam boards will give you a quick answer - I always go
to
AQA as their staff seem very knowledgeable.  Sorry, I don't have the
answer,
but I know a man/woman who does. 

I'm not at school at the moment - but we have also discussed this and
the
LSAs who do it would know, but they're not with me at home!!)

Query -

When a pupil has a reader for Maths -

Does the reader:

a.	read both text and numbers/formulas - or
b.	read text only.

The reason is that our Maths dept state that having a maths teacher as a
reader will give an advantage to the pupil and hence is querying who
should be a reader at AS level.

Tks for all assistance.

Stuart
