  3. Why complete a Passport for Life • To help professionals and communities understand your child. • How their additional need, disability or SEND affects them. • How they can be best supported to access what is important to them. • Families have control over their child’s information and a family led document this will be important to you. • Held securely via website and information lands back into PODS email.

  4. The One Page Profile • A way for parents to share their expertise about their child. • A single sheet – one page! • Personalisation agenda is embedded in the SEN Reforms under the Children & Families Act (2014). • Developed by Helen Sanderson Associates and by Family Footings. • Gives a positive, practical and useful framework to share information about young people. • It will tell you: what is important to your child, what people like about your child and how best to support them

  5. Why complete a One Page Profile • It’s part of the Passport for Life Project . . . • Written by people who really know the child over a period of time. • Better understanding of the young person as an individual. • Maintain consistency for how the young person is supported. • Guidance on how to support and engage with your young person in a positive and effective manner. • Use it when child/YP attends a new setting, a new place, local clubs • Share most important things that people need to know. • To update understanding when something changes (eg moving schools) • Tailored information to specific settings – school, childminder, dentis, Brownies, Taxi escort

  7. Awareness Card • A credit card sized plastic laminated card • Key information about your child • Photo or not • Contact details for emergency • On the back are key elements for your child – remember not all children are the same so these can be tailored for your requirements.
