Who this program may suit

Practice and next step

Record a first response to the linked fair-access scenario. Review whether you identified the competing needs, asked for missing information, applied a consistent principle, and communicated the decision with empathy. Choose one weakness, make one deliberate adjustment, then record a second response and compare it with the first. The linked CASPer Essentials path is optional structure practice; it is not presented as a school requirement.
