Skills for Life: Everyday Law
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Everyday law is a 20 hour Skills for Life unit about how the law touches daily life: legal terms such as contract and consent, rights and responsibilities at home, work, in housing and as a consumer, where to get legal help, and the consequences of keeping or breaking the law. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Digital demand is low. The only required digital link is judging the reliability of advice sources, which in practice includes websites; online research, flowcharts and screenshots of support services are suggested, not required.

Judging the reliability of online sources of legal advice
At Level 1 learners identify sources of legal help and describe what each offers, and at Level 2 they compare sources of legal advice for purpose, reliability and accessibility and justify which suits a given problem. The criteria do not say the sources must be online, but the suggested activity compares websites, charities and services, and screenshots of support services reviewed are a listed source of evidence.

Researching a law that affects daily life and presenting it
Level 1 and Level 2 learners can research a real example of a law affecting daily life and present findings to the group, and evidence may include research findings, short presentations and evidence of online research. This is a suggested activity only; the assessment criteria can be met through discussion, role-play or written work.

Cam cynnydd 3
Rwy'n gallu creu a chynllunio gwaith yn annibynnol cyn dechrau ar dasg ddigidol.
Rwy'n gallu defnyddio ystod o feddalwedd i ddewis, cynhyrchu a golygu ystod o gydrannau aml-gyfrwng at ddiben penodol, megis:
- testun a delweddau, e.e. fformatio testun (print trwm, tanlinellu, italig, uwcholeuo); gosod a golygu blychau testun; colofnau; defnyddio offer mireinio (gwirydd sillafu, chwilio a disodli); lapio geiriau; tocio; newid maint a siâp; newid delweddau; ychwanegu effeithiau; byrhau a hollti clipiau sain a fideo; rhoi effeithiau ar ddiwedd sleidiau; defnyddio techneg ‘croen winwnsyn’
- cyflwyniad, e.e. cyfeiriad y dudalen; animeiddio; rhoi effeithiau ar ddiwedd sleidiau; dileu ac addasu delweddau; defnyddio cefndir; defnyddio botymau gweithredu i greu hyperddolen; ymgorffori gwrthrychau.
Rwy'n gallu cyfeirio at ffynonellau wrth ymchwilio ac esbonio pwysigrwydd gwneud hynny, e.e. creu rhestrau syml ar gyfer cyfeirnodi ffynonellau digidol a ffynonellau all-lein.

Da gwybod
- The unit codes are "S609E1" to "S609L2" (Unit overview, page 3), one code per level from Entry 1 to Level 2, and the unit is 20 guided learning hours.
- No special resources are needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources." (Resources required for assessment, page 12), and delivery uses "standard classroom environments" (page 11).
- Evidence can be digital. Possible sources include "Audio or video recordings of discussions, role-plays, or learner explanations" and "Evidence of online research, such as screenshots of legal support services reviewed" (Sources of evidence, page 11), and the specification says a portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (section 4.1, page 18).
- Extended writing is not expected: "extended written work is not required unless appropriate" (Sources of evidence, page 11).
- AI can be used only if acknowledged. When properly referenced it "can be acceptable", but learners "cannot be credited for any work they produce for assessment which is not their own", and failing to acknowledge AI tools is malpractice (section 4.6, page 21).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory"; teachers may use them, adapt them or write their own (section 4.1, page 18).
- Evidence sent to WJEC for sampling "must be provided digitally by the centre" (section 5.2, page 23).
