Carers Cards

Carers Cards

 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
