7 1. Qualification Information 1.1 About the qualifications The qualifications have been approved by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) that regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England. This suite of qualifications in Independent Living has been designed to address the needs of learners working at Entry Level and in particular those with learning difficulties and disabilities. The qualifications ensure that all learners are given the same opportunities to access appropriate and relevant education and improve their life chances. The qualifications are designed to provide a foundation for lifelong learning focussing on transferable social and life skills which are essential for living and working in the community. The qualifications have been developed in collaboration with providers of education for learners with a wide range of learning difficulties and disabilities as well as professionals in the field. Awards in Independent Living These qualifications will be of benefit to those learners who are beginning their journey towards independent living by raising awareness and developing skills around issues that they are likely to face. Additionally they will also be useful for those learners who have already embarked on the journey and need to develop or further develop skills in specific areas. This could form the basis of a programme for those learners currently in sheltered or residential establishments wishing to develop their independence level. The awards are available in Household Skills, Personal Care, Personal Development, Accessing Community Facilities, Rights and Responsibilities and Leisure Activities. Certificate in Independent Living - Looking After Yourself and Your Home These qualifications are designed to develop some of the basic skills needed to look after oneself and one s home. The qualifications can build on previous achievement of awards in specific areas, but also allow for a more in depth look at some of the skill areas and ensure, by the rules of combination, that a breadth of skill areas is covered. Certificate in Independent Living - Living in the Community These qualifications are designed to develop some of the knowledge and skills needed to operate within a community, particularly in accessing and using services. The qualifications can build on previous achievement of awards in specific areas, but also allow for a more in depth look at some of the skill areas and ensure, by the rules of combination, that a breadth of skill areas is covered. Diploma in Independent Living These qualifications are designed as cumulative qualifications which bring together elements of the inward facing aspects of looking after yourself and your home, and the outward facing aspects of living in the community. The qualifications build on previous achievement in these areas. The rules of combination allow for more in depth learning in specific areas whilst ensuring that a breadth of essential skills for independent living is developed. Page 6 of 83

8 The qualifications not only contain elements relating to personal care and independence skills, but also elements relating to personal development in the area of self advocacy and making informed choices in areas that are pertinent to the individual s circumstances. This allows learners to develop these skills, which they may not have had the opportunity or experience of using previously, due to others making decisions on their behalf. With the reform in the way that care packages are put together for people with disabilities, it is important that the learners have the ability to exercise potential new choices becoming available to them, for example Direct Payments, as well as having an appreciation of their own rights and responsibilities and those of others. The individual needs of learners are numerous and diverse. In order to address this, the qualifications are designed to cover a range of areas. The units cover a variety of subjects to meet a range of needs for example; accessing the community and community facilities, household skills, interaction with other agencies and rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The units also include appropriate leisure activities designed to enhance the quality of life for learners through which they may find stimulation for further learning. The mandatory units allow for reflection, a review of the learning achieved and progress made towards living independently. They also encourage learners to plan ahead as to what further advice, guidance and learning they may need. The spiky profile element of these qualifications allows a learner whose skill level in the practical area is quite high to still have the opportunity of achieving a higher level of qualification even though they may struggle with some of the core elements that often require more developed skills. 1.2 Objective The objective of the Gateway Qualifications suite of Entry level qualifications is not only to give learners personal growth and engagement in learning but to prepare learners for employment, independent living and/or adult life in general.
