A carers card is a simple way of verifying your status as an unpaid Carer whenever you need to.
You can use it in situations where you are required to identify yourself as a Carer, such as:
-
- When you are asked for proof you are a verified Carer.
-
- In healthcare settings to be included in the conversation around medical planning for the person you care for.
-
- With an employer if you want to be recognised as a working carer and request additional support due to your caring role
