CEA Card - cinema ticket for carers
The CEA Card is a national card scheme developed by the Cinema Exhibitors’ Association (CEA) for UK cinemas and is one of the ways for participating cinemas to ensure they make reasonable adjustments for disabled guests when they go to the cinema; in particular it ensures a complimentary ticket for someone to go with them.
What does the CEA Card entitle me to?
The CEA Card allows you to obtain ONE free ticket for the person who is accompanying you to enable you to visit the cinema, by providing the assistance you require as a result of your disability, provided you purchase an applicable full price ticket for yourself for the same performance of the same film in the same auditorium. The free ticket is provided on the assumption that the person who accompanies you is able to provide you with appropriate assistance.
For example, this might include;
  1. assisting you in moving around the cinema including finding and taking a seat;
  2. helping you evacuate the cinema in the event of an emergency;
  3. accompanying and/or assisting you in using the cinema’s toilets;
  4. assisting you in purchasing refreshments.
For more information on how to apply, visit their website: www.ceacard.co.uk/faq

MENCAP Emergency Card
For many family carers, one of their greatest concerns is what will happen to their child with a learning disability if something should happen to them. Carers' cards are designed to give family carers the peace of mind that should they have an emergency, accident or illness, others would be made aware of their caring responsibility and be able to contact the right people to support their child. 
The information in the booklet includes lots of space to complete important information. 
You can contact the MENCAP Helpline to ask for a pack:
Telephone: 0808 808 1111

Radar Key (for use to access disabled toilet facilities)
The National Key Scheme (NKS) offers disabled people independent access to locked public toilets around the country. Toilets fitted with National Key Scheme (NKS) locks can now be found in shopping centres, pubs, cafes, department stores, bus and train stations and many other locations in most parts of the country.
This article from the BBC (although from 2013) gives an inside view so do not be tempted to buy on-line!  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-22602836
In Bexley, Radar keys can be obtained from the management and security offices at the Broadway Shopping Centre, Bexleyheath on the first floor or from Disability Rights UK.
