AnnotationBack Me Up is a campaign to improve support for carers in an emergency. There are 6 million carers in the UK, who look after a disabled relative or friend. Carers UK surveyed over 1000 carers to find out what happens if they experience an emergency or other unplanned event. This booklet describes those carers' experiences and calls for more to be done in the way of services, technology, professional help and information. It proposes that carers emergency schemes should be put in place in each local authority area. (KJ).
