Skills for Life: Personal Safety
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Personal safety is Pearson Skills for Life Unit SfL 21, in which learners recognise hazards and dangers that could affect their safety and plan actions to stay safe. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, achieved once at a single level from Entry 1 to Level 2. Literacy sits in the criteria: stating, outlining and identifying risks and actions at Entry level, then writing a structured risk assessment and safety plan at Level 1 and Level 2 and explaining how it keeps learners safe. Numeracy demand is low: Pearson maps risk rating and prioritising actions, but no criterion asks for calculation.

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: learners state, outline or identify reasons why their personal safety might be at risk and actions they can take to stay safe or reduce the risks. There are no mandatory evidence requirements; the centre sets its own assignment (Pearson's Authorised Assignment Brief is optional), assesses it internally, and Pearson quality assures it through standards verification. Graded Pass or Fail. 20 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: One assessment criterion at each level: at Level 1 learners create a simple personal safety risk assessment and basic plan for some different settings, and at Level 2 a detailed risk assessment and plan for home, the community and online, explaining how it keeps them safe. Evidence type is chosen by the centre, internally assessed by the centre and quality assured by Pearson through standards verification. Graded Pass or Fail. 20 guided learning hours.

Identifying and stating risks and safe actions
Entry learners state, outline or identify reasons why their personal safety might be at risk and the actions they can take, rising from at least three familiar hazards and two actions at Entry 1 to at least five reasons, their impact and three actions at Entry 3. Evidence can be spoken, written or visual. This is required by the Entry level assessment criteria.

Da gwybod
- The unit is "SfL 21" with "20" guided learning hours in the unit summary table (Section 3, page 5), and "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- Each level sets a minimum number of examples, from "at least three familiar hazards" at Entry 1 to "three detailed risk assessments" at Level 2 (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 100).
- Centres choose the evidence: "there are no mandatory evidence requirements and centres can select the type of evidence" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 100), so Entry learners can show their understanding orally or visually.
- Assessments "can include both practical and written tasks" and are "independently completed as a distinct activity after the required teaching has taken place" (Assessment of units, page 9).
- Learners can be assessed "in Welsh or English" (Language of assessment, page 8).
- AI must be acknowledged and work must be in learners' own words: "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 101).
