Skills for Life: Community Participation
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Community participation is a Skills for Life unit in which learners find out about local services, learn about active citizenship and sustainability, and plan, take part in and evaluate a community activity or project. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Literacy sits in describing, comparing and explaining services, working with others, and reflecting on and evaluating their contribution, which can be spoken, recorded or written. Numeracy is light and suggested only: planning time, money and resources, and keeping simple logs and charts.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): Three learning outcomes (knowing the community and local services, active citizenship and sustainability, and taking part in a simple community activity or project), each with assessment criteria at Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: Four learning outcomes (understanding the community and local services, the impact of active citizenship and sustainability, planning and taking part in a community activity or project, and evaluating it), each with assessment criteria at Level 1 and Level 2. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours.

Describing, comparing and explaining local services
Learners move from pointing out places and services at Entry 1 to describing how services support people at Entry 3, describing services and their users at Level 1, and comparing services and explaining how they meet different needs at Level 2. Evidence may be spoken, written or visual. This is required by the assessment criteria.

Reflecting on and evaluating own contribution and sustainability
At Level 1 learners describe their contribution, say what went well and one area for improvement, and reflect on sustainability. At Level 2 they evaluate their contribution against their role and responsibilities, and evaluate the sustainability of the activity, suggesting improvements. Reflections can be written, audio, video or scribed, and are required by the assessment criteria.

Writing promotional posters and leaflets
Suggested activities include making posters or signs for a local event at Entry Level and a poster, leaflet or digital content to promote a community initiative at Level 1 and Level 2. Learners write short, clear text for a public audience. No criterion requires this, so it is taught rather than assessed.

Da gwybod
- The unit codes are S604E1, S604E2, S604E3, S604L1 and S604L2, and the unit is 20 guided learning hours (Unit overview, page 3).
- No special equipment is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (Resources required for assessment, page 11).
- Written work is kept light: "extended written work is not required unless appropriate", and judgements focus on the standard, "not spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (Sources of evidence, page 9).
- Evidence can be recorded rather than written, such as "Short learner reflections (written, audio, video, or scribed)" (Sources of evidence, page 9).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory" and teachers may adapt them or write their own (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI rules apply to the portfolio: misuse includes "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work, analysis, evaluation or calculations" (specification, section 4.6, page 21).
- Appendix A maps the unit to Numeracy but not Literacy (specification, Appendix A, page 28), while the pack says Literacy develops "through discussions, presentations, and written reflections" (Unit overview, page 4).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack names GCSE Social Studies and VCSE Public Services as related WJEC qualifications, and Democracy in action, Equality, diversity and inclusion, Ethical choices, Everyday law, Faith and belief in the community, Sustainability in action, Teamwork, Values for life and Sustainable economic development as closely related Skills Suite units. Describing local services and evaluating sustainability also links with GCSE Geography, and planning time and money for an event links with GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy.
