Personal Communication Passports are now widely used in home, care, social work, education, health and education settings.
Passports introduction coincided with a similar approach known as 'Client Books', one part of the Newcastle Interaction Assessment Network.
When used with children and young people, Personal Communication Passports are a way of making sense of formal assessment information and recording the important things about that individual, in an accessible and child-centred way, and of supporting transitions between services.
Importantly, also, a Passport is more than the end-product booklet. Creating a Passport is a process. The decision to create and use a Passport gives a clear focus for ongoing home/school liaison, partnership working with parents and for interdisciplinary collaboration.
