<strong><strong>Carer</strong>s</strong><br />
Emergency<br />
Card<br />
The free <strong><strong>Carer</strong>s</strong> Emergency Card gives peace of mind by<br />
providing access to emergency assistance 24 hours a day.<br />
The <strong><strong>Carer</strong>s</strong> Emergency Card is a pocket sized card that can be<br />
carried as a source of identification in <strong>the</strong> event of an accident<br />
or illness. The registration and telephone numbers on <strong>the</strong> card<br />
are linked to a database held by <strong>Sefton</strong> Careline at <strong>Sefton</strong> Arc<br />
(<strong>Sefton</strong> Metropolitan Borough Council’s Control <strong>Centre</strong>) where<br />
help can be co-ordinated to assist <strong>the</strong> cared for person while<br />
<strong>the</strong> carer is receiving attention.<br />
To be eligible for a free emergency card <strong>the</strong> carer or <strong>the</strong> person<br />
who is being cared for must reside in <strong>Sefton</strong> and be registered<br />
with <strong>Sefton</strong> <strong><strong>Carer</strong>s</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> - call 0151 288 6060 to register.
