One page profiles!!!

Post date: Jun 16, 2017 7:25:51 AM

A One Page Profile is a short introduction to a person, which captures key information on a single page which gives for example family friends or staff an understanding of the person and how best to support them.

Such a positive tool to use.!!!

Have a look at http://www.sheffkids.co.uk/adultssite/pages/onepageprofilestemplates.html

to create your child's individual one page profile. There are so many themes to choose including a selection of football teams to Disney characters to favourite programs and even minecraft.
