In order to meet our responsibilities under the Care Act and to contribute to two of the outcomes in our Carers Strategy (2016 to 2021): 1. Carers in Rotherham are more able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions and feel empowered, and 2. The caring role is manageable and sustainable Expressions of interest are invited from suitably experienced providers who are registered to provide home care and can provide standby care to be accessed in an emergency situation for a period of up to 48 hours or 72 hours over a bank holiday. The Carers' Emergency Service will provide care in an emergency situation when the informal carer cannot provide their usual substantial level of care to a relative due to an unforeseen situation such as ill health, accident or admission to hospital.
