18. The awarding bodies have designated Wednesday 29 June 2022
as a ‘contingency day’ for examinations. This is consistent with the
qualication regulators’ document Exam system contingency plan:
England, Wales and Northern Ireland – gov.uk/government/publications/
exam-system-contingency-plan-england-wales-and-northern-ireland
The designation of a ‘contingency day’ within the common examination
timetable is in the event of national or signicant local disruption
to examinations in the United Kingdom. It is part of the awarding
bodies’ standard contingency planning for examinations.
Centres must therefore remind candidates that they must
remain available until Wednesday 29 June 2022 should an
awarding body need to invoke its contingency plan.
