Carers’ Emergency Card

Do you care for a sick or disabled friend or family member, who is dependent on you?  

Would you like the reassurance that, should you be involved in an accident, the emergency services will ensure they are informed, and receive assistance?

Then register today with our free, confidential Carers Emergency Card scheme!

What is the Carers’ Emergency Card?

The Carers’ Emergency Card is a small, credit sized card carried by the Carer, which informs the emergency services that someone is heavily dependant on them.  The card provides Carers with the reassurance that, should they be involved in an accident whilst out alone, their dependants will receive immediate co-ordinated assistance. 

Who runs the scheme?

The Carers Emergency Card scheme is co-ordinated by Local Solutions, in partnership with Liverpool Health Authority, Merseyside Police and VNC Lifeline, a local charitable organisation who offer a 24 hour emergency support service for vulnerable people. Your information will be treated in confidence, and will not be divulged to anyone outside of the scheme.

How does it work?

In the event of a Carer being involved in an accident, the emergency services will inform VNC lifeline, who will arrange emergency care in accordance with details given on the Carers’ registration form. 

How Do I register?

Call Local Solutions’ Carers' Project (below).  You will then receive an application form for completion to be returned to the Carers Project.  You will  receive your Carers Emergency Card, together with a unique PIN number.
