<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.
