One page profile

One-page profiles

One-page profiles/student passports are a simple summary of things that are important to the young person and how they want to be supported.

They are there to help the young person receive more person-centred care and support to achieve their goals.

They give key information about the young person, including their likes, dislikes, favourite things and how teachers can help them if they are finding something difficult.

One-page profiles include:

What's important to you
Things people like and admire about you
How best to support you

You can add other information to one-page profiles. When this happens, the document may have a different name such as student passport.

Other information could include:

What you like to be called
What you are good at and what is more difficult for you
