These resources have been designed to support tutors to develop their bilingual teaching skills and increase their awareness of the Lifelong Learning Welsh Record (LLWR) and the LA26 data set. The data set is used to record Welsh and bilingual provision in the post-16 education sector in Wales. The aim of the resources is to give tutors confidence in the way activity completed in Welsh or bilingually is recorded on the LLWR, and to help tutors establish where their provision currently sits. They are also designed to give tutors practical advice on how to move their teaching up the bilingualism continuum. This tutor support pack includes: Handbook - a working document that can be used for reference, as well as to establish specific personal targets for increasing the Welsh/bilingual provision. Online e-learning course - Understanding the Welsh Lifelong Learning Record (LLWR).

Health and Social Care Health and Social Care Resources
Social Care Wales have worked with the sector to develop Essential Skills Wales resources to help with teaching and learning for Application of Number and Communication at Level 1 and 2. The resources have been designed to reflect real life work scenarios that you may come across in social care and cover different learning outcomes that you need to know to complete your Essential Skills Wales qualifications. The resources are not mandatory. You can do them all or just pick which ones will help you best. These resources are intended to support learning and so do not replace teaching or assessment activities. They have been designed to demonstrate where Essential Skills Wales skills are applied in practice settings and may not cover all learning outcomes fully.
