Skills for Life: Everyday Law
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Open Awards.
Everyday Law is an Open Awards Skills for Life unit offered at 5 levels from Entry Level 1 to Level 2, each 20 guided learning hours, covering rules and laws, rights, the people who enforce the law, how laws are made in Wales, equality and consumer law, and how to get help and resolve legal problems. The provider designs the tasks and learners build a portfolio assessed Pass or Fail. Digital demand is low: no criterion needs a computer. Digital work sits in judging reliable online sources of legal information, online safety law, complaint emails and the e-portfolio.

Keeping evidence in an e-portfolio
Learners must collect their evidence in a portfolio, and Open Awards encourages e-portfolios wherever possible. Evidence for this unit can include photos of role plays, scanned forms and digital documents, so learners may need to save, name and upload files. The portfolio is required, but the digital format is optional.

Rwy'n gallu rheoli ffeiliau a ffolderi yn lleol neu ar-lein, e.e. symud ffeiliau i ffolder.
Rwy'n gallu lanlwytho ffeiliau o yriant lleol i storfa ar-lein.
Cam cynnydd 4
Rwy'n gallu defnyddio dulliau rheoli ffeiliau datblygedig, e.e. hanes fersiynau, adfer y fersiwn flaenorol, tagio, cywasgu.
Rwy'n gallu rheoli dolenni i ffeiliau, gan roi ystyriaeth i ganiatâd a lleoliadau ffeiliau, e.e. mae rhai systemau storio ffeiliau'n defnyddio hyperddolenni deinameg felly os newidir lleoliad ffeil mae'r ddolen yn aros yr un peth, yn wahanol i systemau eraill sy'n golygu bod hyperddolenni'n torri o ganlyniad i newid lleoliad ffeil.
Da gwybod
- Each level has its own unit code and the same size: CBM061 to CBM065, "Credit Value: Two (2)" and "Guided Learning Hours: 20" (Unit Content, pages 10, 13, 15, 18 and 21). The Pearson unit of the same name is 10 hours.
- Units at different levels cannot be combined: "with the exception of British Sign Language (BSL), units with the same title at different levels are barred for completion within the same qualification" (Open Awards Level 1 Qualification Guide, Qualification Units, page 17).
- Every criterion must be met: "All assessment criteria must be met in full for the learner to be awarded a ‘pass’" (Assessment Approach, page 7). There is no grade above Pass.
- The provider writes the tasks: the unit is "assessed through assessment tasks and activities designed by the provider", and providers must "undertake pre‑course verification" to confirm the tasks cover all criteria (Assessment Approach, page 7).
- Evidence goes in a portfolio, paper or digital: "Wherever possible, e-portfolios are encouraged." (Assessment Approach, page 7). Assessments are subject to internal quality assurance and external quality assurance by Open Awards.
- The unit specification says nothing about AI or referencing. The qualification guide requires assessment evidence to "Be the learner’s own work" (Open Awards Level 1 Qualification Guide, Assessment Conditions, page 31).
- The delivery requirements list "access to a computer or laptop for digital resources" and "access to appropriate information sources, including Welsh Government materials (printed or digital)" (Physical Resources, page 6). No criterion requires a computer.
- Learners need a robust starting point check: "the provider must complete robust initial assessments to ensure the learner is able to access the content at the level they are starting" (Entry Requirements, page 6).
- Level 1 asks for more than law: criteria 2.1 and 2.2 ask learners to "Describe the key features of past and present systems of government in Wales" and to analyse the differences (Level 1, page 18), and the Level 1 assessment task table on page 9 gives no example task for this outcome.
- Some indicative content does not match its criterion. Entry Level 3 criterion 2.2 says "Describe" but the assessment table says "Indicate where to find reliable information about legal rights" (page 8). Level 2 content refers to "how he nine protected characteristics" (page 22), an apparent typing slip.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Everyday Law sits closest to GCSE Social Studies, which covers rights, responsibilities, law and government, and the Level 1 and Level 2 work on the Senedd and systems of government in Wales also links with GCSE History and the Humanities Area of Learning and Experience that the unit is mapped to. The criminal law and reporting content links with the VCSE in Public Services. The Pearson unit of the same name is 10 hours and centres on human rights and criminal and employment law, while the WJEC Everyday law unit is 20 hours like this one. Within the Open Awards suites, Democracy in Action, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and Ethical Choices are the closest Skills for Life units.
