A colleague (thanks Sara) alerted me to this Diploma on Functional Skills from the QCA. It covers “practical skills in English, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Mathematics, that allow individuals to work confidently, effectively and independently in life.” Looking through the standards, they use a lot of info lit type terminology – things like “finding, selecting, developing, communicating information” and “use discrimination in selecting information that matches requirements from a variety of sources and evaluate fitness for purpose” It will be interesting to follow this up a little more.
