What is a reader scribe?

Reader Scribes are individuals who assist people with disabilities, such as visual impairments or learning difficulties, during exams or assessments by reading the questions aloud and/or writing down the answers dictated by the candidate. Their role is to ensure that the candidate has equal access to the test content and can demonstrate their knowledge without being hindered by their disability. Reader Scribes must remain impartial, provide no additional help beyond reading or writing, and strictly follow examination guidelines.
