Skills for Life: Online Safety
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Online safety is a Pearson Skills for Life unit in which learners recognise online risks, use safe practices to protect personal information, and follow, and at Level 2 write and adapt, an online safety plan. It is one 10 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, achieved at one level from Entry 1 to Level 2. The centre sets and marks the assignment. Literacy sits in reading guidelines and suspicious messages, outlining, describing or explaining risks, writing a safety plan for other users and discussing plans with peers. There is no numeracy.

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, rising from using basic safe online practices by following support cues (Entry 1) to outlining at least three risks and three safe practices (Entry 2) and identifying at least four risks and applying four safe practices by following a basic plan (Entry 3). Assessed internally by the centre through a centre-devised assignment, with Pearson standards verification. 10 guided learning hours, graded Pass or Fail.
- Level 1 and Level 2: One assessment criterion at each level: Level 1 learners describe a range of common online risks and safe practices and help to identify and implement them through a structured safety plan; Level 2 learners explain a range of online risks and safe practices, create online safety plans tailored to different users and adapt them when required. Assessed internally by the centre through a centre-devised assignment, with Pearson standards verification. 10 guided learning hours, graded Pass or Fail.
Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Siarad cydweithredol
-
Discussing safety plans and asking for help
Level 1 learners contribute to online safety plans with peers or the teacher, and the support descriptors expect Entry learners to communicate a need for help and Level 1 learners to seek out support. Discussion with others is part of the Level 1 guidance; asking for help appears in the support descriptors.

Da gwybod
- The unit is SfL 20 and is worth 10 guided learning hours, half the size of the WJEC Online safety unit: the unit summary lists "SfL 20 Online safety 10" (Unit summary, page 5).
- A unit counts once, at one level: "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- The command verbs set the literacy level: Entry 2 learners "Outline", Entry 3 learners "Identify", Level 1 learners "Describe" and Level 2 learners "Explain" (assessment criteria, page 95), and the glossary defines Explain as giving "reasons and/or evidence" (Glossary, page 152).
- Centres choose the evidence: "there are no mandatory evidence requirements and centres can select the type of evidence" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 96), so spoken or recorded evidence is acceptable. Learners may be assessed "in Welsh or English" (page 8).
- Pearson's own mapping gives literacy as "Reading guidelines, writing reflections, reporting incidents" and numeracy as "No direct link" (Annexe C, page 164).
- 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 98).
- Document slips: the units section says to "refer to Section 6 Glossary" (page 11), but the glossary is Section 7 (page 151), and the Entry 3 guidance reads "when a applying safe online practices" (page 96).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Online safety links with GCSE Digital Technology and GCSE Computer Science, which both teach phishing and protecting personal data, and its reading of suspicious messages for reliability supports the critical reading in GCSE English Language and Literature. Within the WJEC Skills Suite, Personal safety shares recognising online risks and planning safety actions, so its written safety plans use the same skills. Compared with the WJEC Online safety unit, the Pearson unit is 10 rather than 20 guided learning hours with one criterion per level, so there is less written work overall; WJEC's four learning outcomes ask learners to explain the Children's Code and reporting routes, while the main Pearson writing task is a structured online safety plan, which Level 2 learners tailor to different users.
