Fair review route

Complaints Reviews and Appeals

Version 1.2Effective from publicationUpdated 29 September 2026

This procedure provides a route for correcting identifiable errors while protecting confidential tasks, other candidates and legitimate professional judgement.

What can be reviewed

  • Arithmetic, transcription or candidate-identity error.
  • Failure to apply the published Terms, stage instructions or tie-break.
  • Undisclosed or mishandled conflict of interest.
  • Material technical incident supported by available evidence.
  • Integrity finding or sanction.
  • Reasonable-adjustment decision or implementation.
  • Personal-data or confidentiality concern.

A disagreement with a judge’s professional assessment is not by itself a ground for re-marking.

How to submit

Email office@kairos-k-practice.com within five calendar days after the relevant notification unless a longer period is published. Include the candidate ID, challenged decision, date, specific ground, facts, evidence and requested remedy. For a Sintegrum or YouTube incident, include the relevant link, timestamp, screenshot or platform message where available.

Process

  1. The organiser normally acknowledges the request within two working days.
  2. A person not responsible for the challenged decision reviews it where reasonably practicable.
  3. The reviewer may obtain logs, score records, conflict declarations or written explanations.
  4. The written outcome states the issue, evidence, conclusion, remedy and any further review route.
  5. The organiser aims to issue the outcome within ten working days or explain any necessary extension.

Possible outcomes

  • No change.
  • Correction of an administrative or calculation error.
  • Restored time, rescheduled assessment or reassessment by an unaffected judge.
  • Withdrawal or variation of an integrity sanction.
  • Replacement of a conflicted decision.
  • Another proportionate remedy that does not unfairly disadvantage other candidates.

Final review

A final review may be requested within five calendar days only for a material procedural error in the first review or relevant new evidence that could not reasonably have been supplied earlier.
