What If? Emergency & Contingency Plan
As a carer, it is important to plan ahead for unexpected situations.
A What If? Plan (also called a Contingency Plan) helps make sure the person you care for continues to receive the support they need if you are suddenly unable to provide care.
Why Have a Plan?
Your plan can help if:
- You become unwell
- You have an accident
- You need to go into hospital
- There is an emergency at home
- You need time away from your caring role
Having a plan in place can give you peace of mind and help others know what support is needed.
Be Prepared
Completing a contingency plan only takes a few minutes but can make a big difference in an emergency.
