Rutland County Council have launched a Carers Passport campaign to support carers across the county. The Carers Passport is an emergency ID card which will enable carers to access a range of services and act as a valuable identification document in emergencies.
Councillor Alan Walters, portfolio holder for Adult Social Care and Health said:
“We recognise the difficulties that Carers face daily, which has only intensified during the pandemic. This ID card is a way of recognising the vital work our carers provide and will enable them to go about their daily tasks more easily.”
Carers that are registered at Support for Carers will receive the passport in the post, or they can contact the carers team at carersteam@Rutland.gov.uk
