Welcome to the Peer Passport!
An exciting A6 booklet that chronicles the incredible activities and experiences of the Passport holder over time.
How does it work?
From the moment you join the Peer Passport, your ‘adventure’ begins! The Peer Passport is introduced during your induction, offering you the chance to dive into this journey from the start or to embark on it whenever you feel ready.
The Passport Holder chooses an activity to engage with. Upon completion, they receive their first stamp in the Passport. You can explore multiple activities and switch between different types whenever you wish.
Each Passport comes with supporting documentation that highlights the knowledge, understanding, and confidence gained through each stamped activity. The Passport also includes opportunities for reflection, review, and self-direction.
