Emergency toolkit

While none us want to think about us being seriously ill or not being around for our children, it can be helpful to think about what would happen if you weren’t able to be their primary carer. This may be short term such as going into hospital for an operation, or for a longer term period. Enable Scotland have created an emergency planning toolkit which let you set out things that would help someone else care for your child, including areas such as how they communicate, what their mealtimes look like, what medication they need and where it is kept etc. This would allow someone to keep your routines as close to normal as possible in the event of an emergency. You can find the document here: https://www.enable.org.uk/about-us/reports-and-resources/emergency-planning-toolkit
