'Registered Carer' reduced entry at Longleat

Hi everyone, just a quick question regarding purchasing online tickets for Longleat on the weekend. The page I've provided a link to shows reduced rates for disabled people and registered carers - my partner is disabled with a blue badge so what evidence would I have to provide to get the reduced rate for myself as a registered carer?
Thanks in advance!

Im guessing your letter stating you get carers allowance would be ok.0

You can only get Carers Allowance for someone if you do not have a job yourself. Unless she said it somewhere else the OP hasn't said she get's it.
My carer (God I hate calling him that) isn't on CA because he's got a job for more than 16 hours a week so I've always wondered what "registered carer" actually means to because sure it can't possibly mean "unemployed carers only"... Can it?
If you manage to work out to whom carers are meant to be registered then do let me know please."I, on the other hand, am a fully rounded human being with a degree from the university of life, a diploma from the school of hard knocks, and three gold stars from the kindergarten of getting the sh*t kicked out of me." ~ Capt.

Seems daft but a regisered carer is someone who is paid to carer for a person so basically they are the registered carer whilst at work! Official definition but doubt thats what Longleat mean!
For example a member of staff from agency or organisation or individually employed person who takes person out during the hours they work.0 -
I went there a few weeks ago and we just showed our son's disabled badge as proof of his disability then asked for 1 disabled ticket & 1 carer ticket - they didn't ask for any other proof.2017 Wins: £200 (Total since 2008: £43,827! :shocked:)Best wins: £5000 with ITV :eek:, Trips to New York fashion week/Malta/Lake Como/Paris/London/St Mellion spa, iPhones, iPad, TVs, vouchers

Same here-we went in April, my hubby showed them his blue badge, and we got discount for him being disabled and me being his carer-no probs at all.

We also went in April and have only ever shown the blue badge whenever we've gone there.
Hope you have a nice time.:)0
