How does everyone carry their emergency info?

**manjay** · 26-01-2008, 11:14 PM

I keep getting in a panic as I don't always take my bag when I walk to school and have to admit that on occasions I have forgotten my emergency contact stuff!! I always have my phone which has the numbers but I wanted to make sure that I had the correct docs.

I have seen on here before that some of you use little cards like the ones on the bromley site so I have just made up four sets of these so I have no excuse for not having them . I have put all the info on the cards, laminated them, punched a hole and put them on a keyring. I am really chuffed. They are quite small and will be much easier to carry around than what I had before.

Oooo!!! I'd love to see a photo!

I have an emergency contact list I carry in my purse all the time... and I carry a changing bag with permissions for emergency treatment signed by the parent (I adapted them from ones in files on here).

The Bromley ones are great too and much less bulky - good idea Amanda!

Hubby has taken my camera fishing with him (very optimistic he will catch something!) so will have to be after the weekend!

What a good idea! I usually only carry my phone with contact numbers but I might make some of these too if you don't mind me pinching your idea.

I love this idea!
So simple and user friendly!
Laminator at the ready!!!!

I too only currently have emergency contacts in my phone when I go out.
Not for much longer!!!!

I carry all my emergency details in an A5 folder but it is a bit bulky especially in summer when you aren't always taking bags/coats etc

Really like this idea Amanda - just another thing to add to the list of jobs to do

Great idea. Carolyn and I have made a form from A4 paper that folds into 4 it has contacts, and permission (list) on it and when folded it fits into small photo album . We have this in our changing/ outings bag.

I have a small hardback book with all my contacts in for easch child I have on my books, also contacts numbers in my mobile phone too, thats an excellent idea though Amanda might give it a try xxx

**angeldelight** · 27-01-2008, 01:24 PM

I have a very small book that someone got me just for this

It is so tiny I can put it in my jeans pocket

I used to carry bulky note books though

Your idea sounds good Amanda

Great idea Amanda - well done you!
I must admit I often leave my bag at home when I do the school run so my contact numbers are on my mobile.

**angeldelight** · 27-01-2008, 01:32 PM

Yeah Emler I do that also

I just have the numbers on my mobli, I figure that I would need that to contact anyone so that will do! Got me thinking now though.

I always have my purse or changing bag with me so I may just quickly make a very small page with the numbers on and laminate to put in them so if I forget my mobli or it goes wrong I still have the info!

Good thinking brainbox!

**manjay** · 27-01-2008, 02:22 PM

It's the emergency consent forms that worry me! You can't put them in your mobile can you?

I suppose when I have little ones I will always have a changing bag with me but at the moment when I walk to school I only carry my phone. TBH I don't even know if CSSIW require that I carry emergency consent forms but better to be safe than sorry

**Spangles** · 27-01-2008, 03:22 PM
