IMPORTANT.

  not loose all your work.

  page.
• Try to organise it in topic areas.

Other points to consider.

• As much as possible negotiate the contents of the
  passport with the person.
• It is a personal document of their likes,
  dislikes and needs, permission should be asked
  before looking at it.
• The passport needs to grow and change to suit the
  persons needs at that particular stage in their
  life.
• Family members/carers and other significant
  people in the persons life should be encouraged
  to help with the development of the passport.
