Carers Resident Advisory Group

Emergency Plans

Newham’s Carers Emergency Card Scheme allows carers to prepare alternative support arrangements for the person that they care for, to be used when they are not able to carry out their caring responsibilities due to an emergency. All carers can join the Carers Emergency Card Scheme.

Once a carer joins the scheme, they are given a card which has a registration number and a telephone number that can be called in an emergency situation. This free service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
