SPECIAL NEEDS parenting & education TRAINING AND MENTORING

The Special Needs HANDOVER Manual is a published book containing all the documents listed in the toolkit. In addition, it holds invaluable information for the safe placement of children in temporary care.

The book is available at your local Amazon store in ebook, paperback and hardcover.

The book has comprehensive information, but it is not presented in a format that can be effectively completed and shared.
