Skills for Life: Values for Life
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Values for Life is a Skills for Life unit on personal, societal and cultural values and how they guide decisions and ethical choices. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Literacy demand is medium: learners recognise, describe, explain, analyse and evaluate values in talk and writing, discuss differences respectfully and read case studies, and Appendix A maps the unit to Literacy. Extended writing is not required. Numeracy demand is low because no criterion, amplification point or suggested activity involves number or data.

Describing personal values and why they matter
Entry 1 learners point to one thing that is important to them, Entry 3 learners describe at least two personal values and how each affects what they do, Level 1 learners identify a range of values and explain their importance, and Level 2 learners explain how their values have developed. This is required; a personal values statement or reflective journal is a suggested way to show it.

Explaining and evaluating how values guide decisions
Entry 3 learners describe how values influence decisions and give an example, Level 1 learners describe how a value influences a decision and how values guide behaviour in familiar situations, and Level 2 learners analyse how values guide behaviour in new or complex situations and evaluate the role of values in ethical decisions in modern society. This is required and moves learners from describing to analysing and evaluating in talk or writing.

Researching and presenting values in a sector
A suggested Level 1 and Level 2 activity is to research values within a chosen sector and present the findings, and the unit overview says the unit builds Literacy through discussion and written tasks. Learners select and summarise information from several sources and organise a short talk for an audience. This is suggested only, not required by a criterion.

Da gwybod
- The unit codes are S628E1, S628E2, S628E3, S628L1 and S628L2, and the overview lists "GLH 20" (Unit overview, page 3).
- Spoken work counts: "evidence may be verbal, written, practical, or visual, extended written work is not required unless appropriate" (Sources of evidence, page 11), and evidence can include "Audio recordings of learner discussions, reflections, or explanations" (page 11).
- Spelling is not judged: "Assessor judgements should focus on meeting the standard, not spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (Sources of evidence, page 11).
- Support varies by level: Entry 1 learners may need "use of symbols, or assistive technology" and Entry 2 learners may use "scaffolded templates" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.2, page 19).
- The overview says the unit builds "Literacy through discussion and written tasks" (Unit overview, page 4), and Appendix A of the specification ticks Literacy but not Numeracy for this unit (page 28).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory", and teachers may adapt them or devise their own (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used only if acknowledged: when properly referenced AI use "can be acceptable", but "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" counts as malpractice (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.6, page 21).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack names GCSE Religious Studies and GCSE Social Studies, along with AS and A level Sociology, as linked WJEC qualifications; both GCSEs ask learners to explain, analyse and evaluate beliefs and values in writing and discussion, so the explaining and evaluating here is a step towards them. Debating dilemmas and reading case studies for implied attitudes also build GCSE English Language and Literature skills in spoken argument and inference. Within the Skills Suite the pack names closely related units including Ethical choices, Democracy in action, Faith and belief in the community, Understanding self and others, and Personal development planning.
