Summary

 

These standards in domains Self-Management, Social and Cooperative Skills, and Work and Study Skills were reviewed as part of their regular quality-management cycle.  Stakeholders were informed and invited to be involved.  A panel was convened, representative of stakeholders, who drafted amendments to the standards and submitted them to stakeholders for comment.  There was consensus approval for the draft amended standards following public consultation in November 2022.

 

Main changes

 

·      Credits for standard 7123 were reduced to better reflect the reviewed content.

·      Credits for standard 9695 were increased to better reflect the reviewed content.

·      Two outcomes were reduced to one in standards 7117and 16688.

·      In standards 7123, 9695, 9696 (problem solving), vocabulary was clarified, standard 9695 was turned from theoretical to practical, and standard 9696 has a new requirement to solve the problem.

·      In standard12348 the focus was widened to include managing own emotions rather than just anger.

·      A new standard at level 2 was developed about keeping safe online.

·      Two new standards were developed at levels 1 and 2 with a focus on fake online information.
