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.
