Registered carers have free access when visiting with the person they care for but you must show careers ID. At present we accept a wide range of proof including carer ID cards, doctors letters, DWP letters. We will be phasing this out and from the 1st April 2025 we will only accept carer ID cards such as those available from your local council, the Access scheme or the NHS. We do not accept Blue Badges.
