For anyone who needs help to communicate important information about themselves. It makes sure information is shared - not lost or locked away - and saves misunderstandings.
A Personal Communication Passport
tells others the things that matter about the child.
A Passport gives a child a voice to share key information about themselves, to help people to get to know him or her. A Passport is shared by the child, parents, families and professionals. It is especially important when going to new places and meeting new people.
A Passport is written from the child's point of view and is easy to understand. It should have photos and pictures so the child can enjoy reading it, will want to show it, and be involved in adding new things to it. Passports can be made in a wide range of formats; printed or digital (for tablet or PC).
A Passport is for anyone who needs help to communicate important information about themselves. It makes sure information is shared - not lost or locked away - and saves misunderstandings. It gives people ideas about the best ways to do things. A Passport also saves parents or carers from saying the same things over and over again!
Because they are very personal, every Passport is different - it can't come 'off the shelf'! A Passport is created by the people that know the child best. A 'core team' of two or three people, ideally including a parent, with one person coordinating. Then more is added in by a wider group.
