Carer's Emergency Card Scheme
The scheme helps to ease carers' concerns about what would happen to the person(s) they care for if they were suddenly taken ill, involved in an Accident or emergency and were unable to say that someone is dependent on them.
The card will offer you reassurance and also identify that you have a caring role.
For more information, please contact the Carer Support Team:

Children
Do you know a child who is being cared for by someone who is not a parent or close relative?
City of Wolverhampton Council has a legal responsibility to support children and we can provide specialist guidance to the carer.
If you know of a child who is in a private fostering arrangement, please get in touch by calling 01902 555392.
