Skills for Life: Online Safety
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Online Safety is a Skills for Life unit in which learners find out what online safety means, recognise risks such as scams, phishing, fake profiles and cyberbullying, protect personal information with passwords and privacy settings, and learn how and where to report unsafe activity. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Digital demand is high because almost every assessment criterion is digital citizenship: learners show safe practices, use privacy settings and recognise suspicious activity, often evidenced with annotated screenshots or screen recordings.

Presenting online safety evidence digitally
The pack suggests learners show their understanding through digital posters, slide decks, infographics, annotated screenshots and narrated screen recordings, for example a presentation on safe practices in different contexts. This is a suggested way to evidence the criteria, not a requirement, so the digital production itself is not assessed.

Da gwybod
- The unit codes are S620E1, S620E2, S620E3, S620L1 and S620L2, and the overview lists "GLH 20" (Unit overview, page 3).
- No special equipment is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (Resources required for assessment, page 15), although learners do need internet access to demonstrate privacy settings and safe practices.
- Evidence can be digital, including "Annotated screenshots showing safe responses" and "Voice-over video or screen-recorded explanations" (Sources of evidence, page 13). The portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory", and teachers may adapt them or devise their own (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used only if acknowledged: "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" counts as malpractice (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.6, page 21).
- WJEC flags that "The UK Government has announced plans to restrict social media use by children under 16", which may affect this unit (Contents, page 2), so check for updates before planning social media tasks.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Online Safety sits closest to GCSE Digital Technology and GCSE Computer Science, which both teach data protection, cyber security threats such as phishing and malware, and responsible use of technology; the pack also names the General Foundation Qualification in Digital Technology. The reporting, cyberbullying and wellbeing content links to GCSE Physical Education and Health and to GCSE Health and Social Care and Childcare, and misinformation and bias link to GCSE Social Studies. Within the Skills Suite the pack names Science and technology in everyday life, Digital film and media, Mental health and wellbeing, Personal safety, and Using IT in the workplace as closely related units.
