What is the Carers Emergency Card scheme?
The Carers Emergency Card Scheme is for carers who are concerned about what would happen if they were taken ill, in an accident or if another emergency stopped them from getting to the person they care for. The scheme gives peace of mind that, should something happen to prevent you from providing care, the person you care for will not be left without support. This enables the person you care for to receive the care they need whilst remaining in their own home until the emergency is over or until other arrangements can be made.
