NCPS | Accessible Audio Application Policy

NCPS is committed to making applications accessible and fair for everyone. If writing is challenging due to disability, neurodiversity, or medical conditions, applicants can submit responses as audio recordings.

You can ask to submit audio responses if:

  • You have a disability, medical condition, or neurodivergence affecting your ability to write responses
  • You qualify for adjustments under the Equality Act 2010

How to Request Audio Submission:

  1. Email hello@ncps.com before submitting your application
  2. Briefly explain why you need this adjustment. We may ask you for more information.
  3. NCPS will respond within five working days

How to Submit Your Audio Application:

  • Use MP3 or WAV format
  • Limit background noise
  • Clearly state the question number before answering
  • Keep your answers clear and concise
  • Upload your audio securely via the Member Portal
  • Name your file clearly, e.g., JaneSmith_AudioResponse_2025-03-07.mp3

What Happens Next?

  • NCPS will transcribe your recording
  • Assessors will be trained to understand and fairly evaluate submissions made via audio transcription, and will evaluate your responses in the way they would written submissions
  • You can request a copy of your transcription if you would like to
