Carer's Emergency Card
The Carer's Emergency Card gives you peace of mind that if something unexpected happens to you, someone will look after the person you care for.
If you fall ill or have an accident, carrying the Carer's Emergency Card will:
- let others know that someone you care for depends on you
- list your emergency contact details
- give the contact details of Adult Social Care, if needed
You should carry the card with you at all times.

Contact SIGNAL 4 Carers to request a card pack.
You can get the pack without having to go through a registration process. The pack is free and includes:
- 2 emergency cards - one for you and one for the person you care for
- 2 nomination forms for your chosen emergency contacts
There is no charge for up to 48 hours or 72 hours over a bank holiday weekend.
If the emergency lasts longer, a practitioner may want to discuss ongoing support for the person needing care. These needs may be assessed for financial support.
