Skills for Work: Fairness and Inclusion in the Workplace
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Open Awards.
Fairness and Inclusion in the Workplace is an Open Awards Skills for Work unit offered at five levels, each worth 1 credit and 10 guided learning hours, on diversity, inclusive and respectful language, open communication and, at Level 2, researching and presenting a topic of inequality. It is assessed through centre-designed tasks with portfolio evidence. Digital demand is low: no criterion requires digital work, and the only digital links are that the Level 2 research and presentation can be done digitally and that recognising disrespectful language applies online as well as face to face.

Researching a topic of inequality from reliable sources
Level 2 learners give examples of inequality, research a chosen topic such as the gender pay gap or opportunities in sport, and consider the impact of discriminatory behaviour and ways to promote inclusive workplace cultures. The research is required, but the spec does not say how it is done or name online sources, so searching and checking sources online is a teaching choice rather than an assessed requirement.

Da gwybod
- Each level is a separate unit with its own code (CBM161, CBM162, CBM163, CBM164, CBM165). Every level carries the same size: "Credit Value: One (1)" and "Guided Learning Hours: 10" (Unit Content tables, pages 10 to 21), so the Level 2 unit is no bigger than the Entry Level 1 unit.
- Only one level counts in a qualification: "with the exception of British Sign Language (BSL), units with the same title at different levels are barred for completion within the same qualification" (Level 1 Qualification Guide, Qualification Units, page 17). It sits in the Skills for Work group, and qualifications need 60 (Award), 120 (Certificate) or 240 (Diploma) guided learning hours (Rules of Combination, page 15).
- Units from Pearson, WJEC or Agored Cymru with the same title cannot be swapped in: "Units certificated by other Awarding Organisations, or units taken from other Open Awards qualifications, cannot contribute to the achievement of this qualification." (Units from Other Awarding Organisations, page 3).
- The centre writes the tasks: the unit is "designed to be assessed through assessment tasks and activities designed by the provider", with pre-course verification of the tasks (Assessment Approach, page 7), and "providers must have an approved Delivery and Assessment Plan" before delivery (Delivery Requirements, page 5).
- There is no partial credit: "All assessment criteria must be met in full for the learner to be awarded a 'pass'." Results are internally quality assured by the centre and externally quality assured by Open Awards (Assessment Approach, page 7).
- Evidence goes in a portfolio, paper or digital: "Learners are required to collate evidence in a portfolio of evidence." and "Wherever possible, e-portfolios are encouraged." (Assessment Approach, page 7).
- The unit specification says nothing about AI tools, plagiarism or referencing. It "must be read and applied alongside the relevant Qualification Guide (level-specific) and the Open Awards Provider Handbook" (Qualification Documentation, page 3), so those documents set the rules.
- No prior learning is needed, but "the provider must complete robust initial assessments" to place each learner at the right level (Entry Requirements, page 6).
- Digital content is minimal: the equipment list asks only for presentation equipment, a whiteboard and "access to a computer or laptop for digital resources" (Physical Resources, page 6), and the only digital reference in the content is that "different age ranges can share both digital skills and life experience to solve problems faster" (Level 2 AC 1.1, page 22). "Literacy / Digital" is listed as the cross-curricular skill at every level.
- The Level 2 research has no named method or sources: "Learners must research a chosen topic of inequality (e.g., gender pay gap, opportunities in sports) and present their findings to the group." (AC 3.2 and 3.3, page 22).
- Welsh language is built in: greetings such as "Bore da" and "Diolch" at Entry Level 1 (page 11) and "bilingual phrases suitable for a Welsh workplace" at Level 1 (page 19).
- Staff must be able to "facilitate discussion of sensitive topics (e.g., inequality, discrimination, inclusion) in a safe, respectful and inclusive manner" (Staffing Resources, page 5), as the content covers protected characteristics, banter, microaggressions and pronouns.
- There are drafting slips: Level 1 AC 1.3 reads "Gave an example of inequality in the workplace" and its guidance says "outline show a workplace can show it values" (pages 18 and 19); Level 1 AC 1.3 has no indicative content; and Level 2 has "microaggessions" and "complexibity" (page 22).

The Pearson Skills for Work unit Fairness and Inclusion in the Workplace is also 10 guided learning hours and is built around a communication development plan; the Open Awards unit has separate criteria for diversity, inclusive language and open communication at every level and adds research and a presentation on a topic of inequality at Level 2. Equality, diversity and discrimination link most closely with GCSE Social Studies and GCSE Religious Studies, and inclusive workplace practice and communication with GCSE Business and GCSE Health and Social Care, and Childcare. The Level 2 research on inequality suits the Skills Challenge Certificate global citizenship challenge. Within the Open Awards suite the unit pairs with Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Democracy in Action and Interview and Confidence Techniques; any online research or presentation would draw on Using IT in the Workplace.
