Children with cancer: an example of a communication passport

Summary

A communication passport is a way of supporting a vulnerable person with communication difficulties when they have to transition through different events, such as changing schools, or their first job.

Ryan’s family made a specific communication passport for his medical file so that all the medical professionals could learn a little about Ryan before they met him and therefore be better prepared and able to interact with him. Here, his mum shares their example to illustrate how it can be used to improve quality of care.
