- What is it? A simple, person-centred way to share important information about how someone communicates and what support works best for them.
- Who is it for? Pupils who find it difficult to communicate their needs, including those with SEND, communication difficulties or who may struggle to express themselves verbally
- How does it support behaviour? It can help staff understand and respond to a pupil’s individual communication needs in a consistent way. This can make interactions clearer and more supportive, helping to build trust and strengthen relationships.
