About
If you provide unpaid care or support to someone who lives in Leicestershire, this scheme gives you peace of mind that, should something happen to you or you have an emergency, the person you care for will still receive help and support in your absence. Once you have been assessed by the local authority as being eligible for the scheme, you will receive support with planning for emergencies as well as a Carer’s Emergency Response Card. This is the size of a credit card so you will be able to carry it around with you.
