<strong>Carer</strong>s<br />

Emergency<br />

Card<br />

The free <strong>Carer</strong>s Emergency Card gives peace of mind by<br />

providing access to emergency assistance 24 hours a day.<br />

The <strong>Carer</strong>s Emergency Card is a pocket sized card that can be<br />

carried as a source of identification in the event of an accident<br />

or illness. The registration and telephone numbers on the card<br />

are linked to a database held by Sefton Careline at Sefton Arc<br />

(Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council’s Control Centre) where<br />

help can be co-ordinated to assist the cared for person while<br />

the carer is receiving attention.<br />

To be eligible for a free emergency card the carer or the person<br />

who is being cared for must reside in Sefton and be registered<br />

with Sefton <strong>Carer</strong>s Centre - call 0151 288 6060 to register.
