Skills for Life: Values for Life
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Values for Life is a Skills for Life unit in which learners identify their personal values, describe values held in society, compare their values with those of others, and explain how values guide decisions and ethical choices in a changing world. 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 low: no assessment criterion needs technology, although Appendix A maps the unit to Digital Competence. Digital work sits in suggested research and presentations, and in discussing how media, social media and AI shape values.

Researching values in a sector online
A suggested Level 1 and Level 2 activity is to research the values of a chosen sector, such as healthcare, construction, retail or hospitality, and present the findings, and the unit overview links Digital Competence to researching digital materials about values. Learners search with suitable keywords, judge whether a source such as a company website is reliable, and list the sources they used. It is suggested only, not required by a criterion.

Da gwybod
- The unit codes are S628E1, S628E2, S628E3, S628L1 and S628L2, 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 14), and delivery uses "standard classroom environments" (Resources required for delivery, page 12).
- Evidence can be digital: possible sources include "Audio recordings of learner discussions, reflections, or explanations" and "Video evidence of role-plays, group tasks, or workplace scenario discussions" (Sources of evidence, page 11). The portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- Digital Competence is mapped but optional: the overview links it to "researching and presenting digital materials related to personal and societal values" (Unit overview, page 4), and Appendix A of the specification ticks Digital Competence for this unit (page 28), yet no assessment criterion requires technology.
- 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: when properly referenced AI use "can be acceptable", but "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 its qualifications (Contents, page 2), so check for updates before planning tasks about social media.
