Carers ID Card and Carers Emergency Card
The Carers ID Card and Carers Emergency Card are available to unpaid carers in Carmarthenshire. These schemes are designed to recognise the valuable role that carers play and to offer practical support in both day-to-day life and unexpected situations.
The Carers ID Card helps identify you as an unpaid carer and provides access to local discounts. The Carers Emergency Card is separate from the Carers ID Card. It offers reassurance that, in the event of an emergency or if you are unable to fulfil your caring role, appropriate arrangements can be put in place to support the person you care for.
This card is valid for 3 years and you can reapply when it expires if you are still an unpaid carer.
With a Carers ID Card carers can access available discounts and will be offered a carers assessment either on their own or have a joint assessment with the ‘cared for’. However, please note that you do not have to have a Carers ID Card to be entitled to a carers assessment.
This card is valid for 3 years and you can reapply when it expires if you are still an unpaid carer.

Adferiad provides a range of information and support services for carers, including:
- Carers Information Pack: Practical guidance on caring, including information on benefits, legal matters, and available support services.
- Appointments with a Carers Wellbeing Support Worker offer a listening ear and personalised advice. They can help you understand your needs, manage the impact of caring, and access further support, including a Carers Needs Assessment.
- Carers Newsletter: A free quarterly newsletter providing updates on services, events, and information relevant to carers.
- Other types of support such as, grants, groups, local activities etc
Carers can carry an emergency card at all times. If they are involved in an accident or are unable to return home to maintain their caring responsibilities emergency services or others will be able to make contact with relevant people which you have nominated to let them know that there is someone at home who cannot manage without help.
The carer will be issued with a uniquely identified card and in the case of an emergency, relevant contacts are notified to provide support the person they care for. Delta Wellbeing can be contacted and by quoting the unique registration number, this will enable staff to activate support by contacting the nominated person(s). They will then provide interim unpaid care support to avoid risk of deterioration or crisis to the vulnerable person at home.
The nominated person should know the person you care for and the support they need. We record their details so they can be contacted in an emergency if you are unable to provide care. It is best if they are aware of this and agree to be contacted. They should know how to access your home and what to do in such circumstances.
Nominees should also be aware of which GP the person you care for is registered with, and of any other family member(s) they should contact if they are called upon
You can still register for the scheme. In the event of an emergency, Delta Wellbeing will automatically call social services who will respond and if necessary, make alternative arrangements.
You can apply for a Carers Emergency Card by completing the registration form online at Carers Emergency Card Application Form or you can download the form and return the completed form to:
Delta Wellbeing
Eastgate
Llanelli
Carmarthenshire
SA15 3YF
Delta Wellbeing will then issue an individually numbered Carers’ Emergency Card to the Carer.
Carers should give details of the person they care for, and up to three nominated people who can respond in an emergency or other unforeseen circumstances.
Contact Delta Wellbeing on 0300 333 2222 to report any changes.
