An example of a tri-fold Communication Passport from ...



When in an Early Learning and Childcare setting all children have a useful section within their Profile called ‘All About Me’. For some children more information is needed due to their Additional Support Needs.The sharing of extra information is crucial at different stages in a Child’s journey through the education system. The main reason for creating an enhanced ‘All About Me’ type of booklet, over and above what is already in their Profile, is to ensure all relevant information is easily accessible and in one place for those who need it. The booklet should be person-centred, written in the child’s voice, for those who cannot easily speak for themselves. It should be proportionate to need and fit for purpose. Some could be more detailed to support the child’s transition or new staff. Others could be more streamlined and only hold key information about the child. Booklets are a way of gathering complex information together and presenting it in an easy to read format. They should follow these key principles from CALL Scotland:Present the person positively as an individual, not as a set of 'problems' or disabilities;Provide a place for the person's own views and preferences to be recorded and drawn to the attention of others;Reflect the person's unique character, sense of humour etc.; Describe the person's most effective means of communication and how others can best communicate with, and support the person; Draw together information from past and present, and from different contexts, to help staff and conversation partners understand the person and have successful interactions; Place equal value on the views of all who know the person well, as well as the views of the specialist professionals. Other topics covered within an ‘All About Me’ booklet could be:Sensory needs and strategies to help with self-regulation Personal Care NeedsReference to Protocols and other information staff should refer to including medical needsStrategies which best support the child’s play, social interaction and learningMotivators, triggers and positive behaviour supportsThese booklets could be hand-written or electronic but compiled with a sensitive approach so as to respect the wishes of the child and family around content and who the booklet is shared with. It is important to consider storage and access to maintain confidentiality. 460946533020000Various forms of this type of booklet exist and information, templates and examples are readily available online.
