Skills for Life: Mental Health and Wellbeing
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Mental health and wellbeing is a Pearson Skills for Life unit in which learners recognise emotions in themselves and others, identify warning signs and triggers, suggest steps to stay mentally strong and find out where to get support; at Level 1 and Level 2 they create a personal mental health and wellbeing plan. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Literacy carries the assessment: describing and explaining emotions and triggers, reading about sources of support, writing the plan and taking part in group discussion. There is no numeracy: Annexe C records no direct numeracy link.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): One assessment criterion at each of Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3: state, outline or identify the characteristics of good mental health and emotional wellbeing, steps or measures to protect them, and where to get support. The essential information for assessment decisions sets the number of warning signs and steps at each level (two, three and four). Centres choose the type of evidence and set and mark the assessment, adapting Pearson's Authorised Assignment Brief or devising their own, internally verified and quality assured by Pearson standards verification. 20 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: One assessment criterion at each of Level 1 and Level 2: describe (Level 1) or explain (Level 2) the characteristics of good mental health and emotional wellbeing and create a simple (Level 1) or detailed (Level 2) personal mental health and wellbeing plan, with Level 2 including a practical safety plan. Centres choose the type of evidence and set and mark the assessment, internally verified and quality assured by Pearson standards verification. Graded Pass or Fail. 20 guided learning hours.

Reading about steps and sources of support
Learners at every level say how to protect their mental health and where to get support and advice, suggesting two steps at Entry 1 rising to five measures at Level 1 and Level 2. Annexe E names Welsh services such as MEIC and Mind Cymru, so learners read support information to select what applies to them. Knowing where to get support is required by the assessment criteria.

Da gwybod
- The unit is listed as "SfL 18 Mental health and wellbeing" with a Unit GLH of 20 (Unit summary, page 5). It counts towards the Pearson Skills for Life qualifications, for example C00/5444/7 "Pearson Level 2 Skills for Life Award" (Qualification titles, page 4).
- A unit counts only once: "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6, and Assessment of units, page 9), so schools should decide which level each learner is working towards.
- The command verbs rise by level: Entry 1 "State", Entry 2 "Outline", Entry 3 "Identify", Level 1 "Describe" and Level 2 "Explain" (assessment criteria, page 87), and the number of warning signs rises from two at Entry 1 to "at least five" at Level 1 and Level 2 (pages 88 to 89).
- Evidence is flexible: "there are no mandatory evidence requirements and centres can select the type of evidence" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 88), so spoken and recorded evidence is acceptable.
- Annexe B ticks only literacy and digital for this unit (page 158), and Annexe C gives "No direct link" for numeracy (page 163).
- The required teaching content is in a separate document: it "can be found in the Teaching and Learning Support document for this unit" (Unit content, page 88).
- AI must be acknowledged: "If AI is used, the final submission must be in the learner's own words" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 90).
- Learners "can be assessed in Welsh or English", and in British Sign Language as a reasonable adjustment (Language of assessment, page 8).
Cysylltiadau รข chymwysterau eraill
Talking and writing about emotions, triggers and support carries over to WJEC GCSE Physical Education and Health and GCSE Health and Social Care, and Childcare, and the reflective writing supports GCSE English Language and Literature. Within the WJEC Skills Suite, Healthy Relationships, Understanding Self and Others, Looking After Others and Wellbeing and Work use the same vocabulary and discussion skills. Compared with the WJEC Mental health and wellbeing unit, where literacy sits in asking for and offering support and comparing wellbeing strategies, the Pearson unit puts more weight on written planning: Level 1 and Level 2 learners write a personal mental health and wellbeing plan, and Level 2 adds a safety plan. Neither version assesses numeracy.
