What is the purpose of this qualification?

This qualifications is a short introduction for learners of all abilities to develop understanding of British Values.

The qualification is assessed via an online assessment. For centres it can demonstrate to Ofsted that all students have a good grounding in British Values.

Learners come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, and many British-born learners do not fully understand what is meant by British Values. This qualification breaks down these complex concepts, using straightforward language and accessible (often scenario-based) questions to assess learners' understanding.

An understanding of British Values can help learners' self-development, aid their employability, contribute positively to safeguarding and help you build a cohesive community.

What skills, knowledge, or understanding does this qualification develop?

Learners are likely to come from a wide variety of backgrounds and whilst some will have some idea about what is meant by British Values many will not or may be confused. There are some complex concepts that will need to be broken down into understandable language.

Alongside the concepts of:
