The Control Centre is exposed by swiping downwards from the top-right corner of the screen.

If the Control Centre appears to be inaccessible, a forced-restart of your iPad may be helpful - as doing so will often resolve an isolated software issue:

On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
