Skills for Life: Everyday Law
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Everyday law is one 10 hour Pearson unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, at any level from Entry 1 to Level 2. Learners learn about human rights, responsibilities, types of law such as criminal and employment law, how laws affect daily life and different people, and what they would do in scenarios to contribute to a just and equitable society. The centre sets and marks the assessment. Literacy sits in using legal vocabulary, describing and explaining rights, laws and their impact, responding to scenarios, and research, discussion and presentation. Annexe C records no direct numeracy link.

Explaining the impact of laws on daily life and different people
Entry 2 learners outline a reason for or impact of a law, Level 1 learners describe the impact on everyday life and on others of not following the law, and Level 2 learners explain with detailed accounts the impact of laws on different people, such as young people, workers, disabled people and minorities, using examples. This is required by the assessment criteria, and the Level 2 detailed accounts reach step 5 writing.

Da gwybod
- The unit is Unit SfL 9 and the unit summary lists it at "10" guided learning hours, half the 20 hours of the WJEC unit of the same name (Unit summary, page 5).
- Entry 1 evidence can be very light on writing: it "may be demonstrated through matching or sorting activities" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 47).
- Level 2 needs extended answers: learners "explain, with detailed accounts, at least three types of law, rights, and responsibilities" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 48).
- Command words are defined in the glossary, for example Describe means learners "give a clear account in their own words" (Part B Glossary, page 152).
- Legal content must be current and relate to Wales: "centres must ensure that it is current, up to date and relates to the legislative context of Wales" (Units, page 11).
- AI use must be acknowledged: "If AI is used, the final submission must be in the learner's own words and reflect their own effort" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 49).
- There is no assessed numeracy: Annexe B leaves the Numeracy Links column blank for SfL 9 and Annexe C records "No direct link" (pages 157 and 161), even though examples such as the minimum wage appear in the guidance.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The WJEC Skills Suite has its own Everyday law unit at 20 guided learning hours, which asks learners to use legal terms such as contract and consent, compare sources of legal advice and justify a recommendation, and includes some cost and value numeracy; the Pearson unit is 10 hours, centres on human rights, criminal and employment law and decisions that contribute to a just society, and has no numeracy. Explaining rights and the impact of laws on different groups links with GCSE Social Studies and with the discussion and explanation in GCSE English Language.
