Available to all registered carers over 18, the Emergency Card Scheme is administered by Swindon Carers Together in partnership with local councils and health boards. You develop a comprehensive plan, detailing the information about you and the person you care for. You can specify what needs to happen if an emergency is to prevent you from caring.
Please call us on 01793 531133 if you wish to find out more about the Emergency Card Scheme.
