Understanding Self and Others is an Open Awards Skills for Life unit offered at 5 levels, Entry Level 1 to Level 2, in which learners explore identity, emotions and how to manage them, communication, healthy relationships, diversity and inclusion. Each level is a 20 hour unit assessed through provider designed tasks, role play and observation, with evidence in a portfolio. Digital demand is low: the unit lists Literacy and Digital as cross-curricular skills and names social media trends and digital consent as examples at Level 2, but no criterion requires digital work.

Recognising how social media shapes identity and stereotypes
Level 2 learners explain internal and external factors that shape identity, with social media trends as an example, and describe the impact of stereotyping and prejudice, including how labelling affects self-esteem. The online examples are suggestions, so this is taught, not assessed.

Da gwybod
- Each level is a separate unit worth "Guided Learning Hours: 20" and 2 credits (Unit Content, pages 11, 13, 16, 19 and 23).
- Barred combinations: "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), so a learner can complete this unit at one level only within a qualification.
- All criteria must be met: "All assessment criteria must be met in full for the learner to be awarded a ‘pass’." Tasks are designed by the provider and checked through pre-course verification (Assessment Approach, page 8).
- Evidence goes in a portfolio, paper or digital, and "Wherever possible, e-portfolios are encouraged." (Assessment Approach, page 8).
- Sensitive content: delivery needs "staff who can facilitate discussion of personal and sensitive topics in a safe and supportive environment" and "access to pastoral or safeguarding support where required" (Staffing Resources, page 6).
- The unit specification gives no rules on AI tools or on referencing sources; it must be read with the Qualification Guide and the Open Awards Provider Handbook (Qualification Documentation, page 3).
- Digital resources are optional: equipment includes "access to digital devices where appropriate" (Physical Resources, page 7).
- Some wording looks draft: the Entry Level 2 unit (CBM152) is headed "Level: Entry Level 1" (page 13), Level 2 is headed "Level: Two (12)" with LO1 "Understand tactors influencing identity" (page 23), and Entry Level 3 asks for "two personal strengths and wo areas for improvement" and how achievements "make them fee" (page 17).
