Skills for Life: Everyday Law
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Everyday law is a 20 hour Skills for Life unit about how the law touches daily life: legal terms, rights and responsibilities, where to get legal help, and the consequences of keeping or breaking the law. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Literacy carries the unit: learners match, define and explain legal words, apply them to scenarios, compare advice sources and justify choices, mostly through talk, role-play and short written answers. Numeracy is light, limited to weighing cost when choosing advice and consumer examples such as refunds.

Weighing up cost and value in legal decisions
Numeracy in this unit is light. When comparing advice sources, the amplification lists cost and ease of access as factors, and consumer examples include the right to a refund or replacement for faulty goods. No criterion requires a calculation, so this is taught context rather than assessed numeracy.
