You should continue to assess students as usual. There is support for remote assessment and remote invigilation here. As a last resort, where a centre can demonstrate it is not possible to live test individual learners, who are assessment ready, for safety reasons, it may be possible to provide a TAG. The process is explained here. The application process can be accessed here. Please note that applications can only be made for individual students and not cohorts.
