Contingency and emergency planning

Looking after someone is a big job, and sometimes things happen that we don’t expect, like getting sick or having to leave quickly. That’s why it’s important to have a plan.

A contingency plan is a simple guide that says what should happen if you can’t be there. It helps make sure the person you care for still gets the help they need. Making a plan can help you feel more confident and less worried, because you’ll know others can step in if something goes wrong.
