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